NCIS and Karate *bg*

[imbecamiel]

Soo, karate promotions went considerably better than I'd expected, all things considered. Except for the fact that the toes on one of my feet were doing the whole random-going-numb thing again the whole time. Doesn't really help with balance and all. :P But! While I didn't get my next belt, I'm almost certain to next time (I was told I had just a couple of things to polish up, get the details perfect), and I did get another stripe. As I said - better than I'd been expecting, with the less than ideal circumstances this time.

And after testing had a very fun conversation with my favorite teacher, who commiserated with us on the fact that Eric his next belt, is therefore slightly ahead of us now, and will likely prove impossible to live with. *g* Found out she likes NCIS, and Dad gave her official permission to Gibbs-slap Eric whenever she pleases. 'Cause sometimes he needs it. ;) (He just... sometimes likes to press his luck a bit with the teachers we know well, hoping they'll be harder on him in consequence.Yeah, he's literally asking for it, and they know it.)

Speaking of NCIS... anyone else read this? *EPICsquee* Seriously, in all the speculation and discussion I've participated in over the 150th episode, it sounds like it may prove exactly, exactly the sort of storyline I'd been hoping for. Just - *flails in fannish glee* Okay, I now have major excitement, and even higher hopes for this episode. If only January 12th weren't so far away... *wistful sigh* Still slightly nervous over what the resolution will be like, but ooooh, I've a feeling this one's gonna be awesome.

Yay! :D

Congrats on getting the next stripe! What color belt are you?

Thanks! ^.^ I'm currently a red belt. Heh heh, funny to think how high that level once seemed... As with most things I've learned, I find that the more I know, the more conscious I am of how much I don't know. *g*

I think that's usually a sign of wisdom. :)

Yay! I'm so happy things turned out well! *hugs* Was praying for y'all. :D Ahaha, and isn't it fun finding NCIS fans? The fandom seems to include such a wide variety of people....

And oh, eeeee! That does sound so very promising! Strained relationship.... *nods* Also, I'm very pleased by the idea that his dad is at least a little mysteriously wrapped up in this investigation, necessitating deeper digging. Ohhhh, yes. *is very happy* Bring on the angst! :D Can. Not. Wait.

Thank you so much for your prayers, mellon-nin - most definitely helped. *hugs back* (Hehe, 'tis true, it's quite different being a fan of a show that's both extremely popular, and not considered nerdy. *g* Just found out today that our other most common teacher is also an NCIS fan... you should've seen the grin on her face when we mentioned the official permission to Gibbs-slap Eric. Fortunately, Eric seems to find the idea just as amusing as everyone else does... ;D)

Heee, oh, I just get a huge grin on my face, every time I think of the prospects for that episode. It sounds like it is gearing up to be so very angsteh... particularly after the general feel-good vibes of the Gibbs and his dad's relationship at the end of the last episode. It would definitely be faaaar too redundant to follow up with something where Tony and his father resolve their issues. *nods firmly*
