Progression
New accomplishments in parkour:

--I can now vault with significant forward speed, allowing me to land many feet away from the obstacle that I vault.
--I can monkey vault objects as tall as my upper-chest, and as low as my ankle.
--I can speed vault over waist-high obstacles.
--I can finally lazy vault over waist-high obstacles.
--I can do pullups powerfully enough to jump upward a foot or two while wall-hanging.

Goals:

--Perfect above techniques.
--Improve my ankle strength so I can land vaults with less fear of sprains.
--Learn dash vault.
--Learn to vault higher objects.
--Improve fingertip grip.
--Improve precisions.
--Improve broad jump.
--Improve wall run.
--Improve roll.
--Learn to handstand (why not?).

I try nowadays to make every single moment that I have the energy to do so count. Every day, I do something to make myself happy, and something to improve the world around me. I'm very happy, in general.

I think right now my ONLY complaint in life, and a minor one at that, is a total lack of romance. But with a body and a mind as amazing as mine, that won't last long.

You're awesome, you know that? I'd love to see you in action now. Parkour is something I've had an interest in for awhile but I'm so uncoordinated and have such a strong fear of falling and incurring medical expenses :P.
Btw, I'm considering moving out to the Bay area, maybe early next year. If Ramsey goes back to school, we'd have paid housing accommodations which is so much win :). Oh, and are you going to the convergence this year? I'll almost definitely be there.

I learned what I know from people who never push me beyond my physical capabilities. If you find folks like that, you too can become a ninja! :P

Hah, that'd be so awesome if you moved to the Bay!

The CrimethInc. Convergence? Yeah, I'm sure I'm going--though I don't actually have any solid plans yet.
