I seem to be an artist, focusing on the fields of drawing/painting/Photoshop and martial arts.

I find it interesting that you mention martial arts in the context of art overall -- most would not, though I'd cautiously say that this indicates they have a more limited understanding. Very interesting. What is your style, if you have one? Where I live, the most common is krav maga.

Hmm.. perhaps for some it may be a sport, but I take an interest in the artistic nature of certain styles. I have moved around my whole life, and so have been in and out of several styles. I started with Karate, migrating through Combat Hapkido, (Americanized) Tangsudo, and traditional Shu-ko-kai. Later I took an interest in Muai Thai (mainly for the elbow and knee strikes and hard-body training) and finally Wing Chun. I have no real style to speak of, but I keep a well-oiled mixture of various styles and techniques I learn along the way. From what I've seen, Krav Maga is wikid! I'd like to pick a bit of that up someday as well.

I'd like to pick a bit of that up someday as well.

It occurs to me that, to a certain extent, a number of sports could be considered "arts," as well... I actually mulled it over for a bit -- thinking of how passionate people are about both, how liking or disliking a particular example is largely subjective and that while one can learn the structure and techniques involved, there's still long hours and years of practice needed to truly excel... and there are some who just have innate talent -- before my brain woke up and said to me, "Well, duh -- ballet." o_O;

I remember reading that krav maga is unique in that its roots are not historical, cultural or philosophical -- the Israeli Army developed the style with the idea that, since all their neighbors basically want to just wipe them right out, soldiers need to be as deadly as possible, no matter the circumstances. The best gun in the world is only a blunt object when you're out of bullets, so there's apparently all sorts of techniques involving holding various types of guns and other weapons and tools aside from just bare-handed fighting. A friend told me early on that her seven-year-old son takes krav, which was a new word to me -- so I looked it up. And ever since, I've joked to her that some women want their sons to be doctors or lawyers, but no... she's priming him for the Mossad. xd

Muai Thai looks pretty brutal, though... but it does seem like learning from many styles and adapting things to one's own needs and abilities would be the most practical thing. 3nodding But do you compete at all?

And for some reason, "Miss Loon" calls to mind Luna Lovegood... which might earn you a new nickname. xd

That sounds like a lot of fun... is the clinic a small-animal practice, then? And in the art department -- ever tried stained glass? My little sister has been messing around with it here and there recently, seems pretty interesting. What kinds of jewelry do you do -- beadwork, knots, silversmithing...?

And that is one thing I've never been able to come close to doing. emo I've got a close friend who's very good at it, and for awhile she even tried to teach me... *shrug* Didn't take. Do you have serial dreams, if I might ask?

Yea, originally it was just loon. There's a song by RHCP called "porcelain". Just kinda suited me for a while. There's a part that goes "little lune...." and i use to think he was saying little loon. So i put my sn in as loon.

This is all random and pointless, but i was thinking about a random janet jackson lyric and added "Miss loon if ya nasty" lol

Yea, small animal practice. I could work in a large animal clinic as well, the info was all covered. smile And i do hempwork, beading, starting to get into the celtic chainmail stuff, and i'd love to try stained glass!

Meaning the same dreams over and over? Yeah, sometimes. I just try to get through them in different ways, try to figure out whatever my subconscious is trying to tell me.

Kind of a wide margin there, don't you think? lol Just out of curiosity, do you prefer smoking joints or using a pipe/bong/etc?

... For some reason, my state always seems to come up in relation to cannabis. Is it the "ca" thing that just makes it fated or something? xd

So glad to have you back, Lex. ^_~

Yeah, probably.

And I'm suddenly hit with memories of Reefer Madness...

Yeah, it's awesome to be back, and I can finally get into it since I have some experience.

Is there like a "talk about your first time" thread around here I haven't seen yet?

Will you ever?
