Hey all! David Gray as back with an all new blog update! Sorry it took so long but I was down in Gold Beach fighting at An Tir West War. The battles were grea. I took out one of the key spearmen in the West Kingdomas the bannerman for the prince of An Tir. By the by, our banner is also a spear. That's how I pegged the guy in the head.
Anyway, the five days of West War were amazing. Lots of partying with both sides in that. I made many friends despite the fact that I couldn't actually talk to them. There was a little creek that I made a habit of jumping into after fighting each day because, when you come off the field smelling like something that got trampled on by hundreds of different warriors (which I did, at one point) you wanna get that smell off.
At one point there was a castle battle with this tiny space to run through as the gate and we had to send guys in ten at a time to try to bust through the enemy's front lines. A couple charges I successfully made it all the way through the lines and took many heads before going out in a blaze of glory... A couple times I just bashed into the front line and served as a stepping stone for all of the soldiers behind me to walk over the line on. Ya, can't win all of them, I suppose. It was worth it.
On Sunday, after a hard day's fighting and messing up my ankle a bit worse than it was before thanks to my own stupidity in forgetting to put on my ankle brace, I walked off the field, stripped off my armor after hauling some stuff back to camp and took a well earned nap in my tent in the middle of the hot day. That night I hardly had the energy to stay up till midnight and woke up the next day feeling, more or less, like crap. Still a bit achey from the war but, fortunately for me, the shield and armor took a god deal more of the damage than it should have. I salute you, armor. It shames me that I can't take such a beating and I hope you last a bit longer until my new kit gets done being made.
Anyway, yesterday I got home and went to the library for about a half an hour to check up on stuff and check my email but then I checked out a few things on hold and went home to crash in bed after the most rejuvinating shower I think I've ever had.
Now things are going back to normal. I'm writing this blog and getting back into the swing of everyday life.
Yours,
David Gray

Blog #11
Again, an uneventful day yesterday. Right now I'm at my mom's place with my buddy Erik and step-dad. It's pretty uneventful today as well. For the next few days I'm gonna be out of reach of any computers so don't expect a blog post until tuesday, though I do promise to fill everyone in about West War when I get back in one really awesome big post ^^

Hey everyone! David here with yet another update!
Okay, so yesterday I went out to vancouver to do some yard work for some friends so I would have gate fee for West War! When I got there they fed me really good grilled salmon and sweet potato fries! After that I weeded their flower garden and apparently I did really well at it. They said I have horticulture in my future though I'm not quite sure about that ^^;;
After that I went downtown and hung out with some people there, enjoying the night life like I like ^^
Met some new, cool people and finally ran out of little tabs with my name and this site on them. Now I gotta print out more XP
I managd to catch the very last train home, which was kinda cool because it was really quiet and not many people were on to crowd the trin. Then I got home, thought about doing some writing but I, instead, just crashed into my bed.
Yours,
David Gray

Wow, already nine posts in... That's cool!
Well, yesterday was pretty uneventful. I pretty much stayed at home, ran to the library real quick for an hour and all tnhat but, mainly, I stayed home and hung out with my roommate. My buddy Colin popped over for a bit and he hung out for a bit. However, soon enough, he took Erik off to his place and I stayed home.

Hey all!
Here's the next update in my blog!
Good news, yesterday was fighter practice! I love fighter practice! I live to get in armor and hit people! XD
However, we had an obtsacle course and such at this one and that's when, right off at the first obstacle, I slipped on a bit of recently cut grass and twisted my ankle back the opposite way it had twisted two days before. Sucky, huh? Well they helped me out, gave me some ibuprofen, put an ice pack on it for about five minutes before I decided I could do the obstacle course and get the second worst time at 17.22 seconds. Pretty good for a twice broken ankle, I'd think XP
After I got back home I found my bag was missing but I got some extra keys from my parents and went home with Erik, who had finally come back after leaving for five days.
In just under a week is An Tir West War, which is the event I live to go to ^^
I don't have the money for gate fee just yet but I'm working it out to do some work for it ^^
Five days of fighting and partying! WOOT!
Yours,

Hey all... Bet you're wondering why this hasn't com out earlier. It's because I was busy yesterday with fighter practice, which will be covered in the next update. In all honesty, it was a pretty boring friday. I pretty much just stayed at hopme for most of the time and lazed around, letting my ankle recover.
