Kung-Fu is hard stuff, harder than hair management

So I sparred with Jun and Deon today, and it hurts despite wearing gloves. But it was pretty fun somehow, although the passer-by would think that some serious shit has hit the fan. Things happen with the blink of the eye, and within a flurry, three or four punches would have flew into you. I managed to injure myself (again, somehow I seem to have the talent to get all sorts of weird injuries in the oddest ways) and this time, I hurt my thumb. I accidentally rammed its base into an elbow. Twice. And now I can't move it much without hurting. When I think of all the things I'm going to miss if I lose my RIGHT thumb, from twiddling of controllers to not being able to grope body parts, I actually fear losing it. Such is man, never appreciates until it is taken away.

I'm intending to cut my hair. Yes, after two years, I think it's about time that I cut it off. Long hair has been a massive target for relatives to shoot verbal bullets to, and a real bitch to maintain. I have to deal with fritz, extensive effort to wash, occasional visual obstruction and one hell of an oven. Now I can understand slightly on why women spend so much time grooming themselves. Maintenance is a huge burden, financially and physically. I feel your pain, sisters. Not anymore after Tuesday, but I'll remember how it was like.
