Kaoru
I am a girl. :)

hey Kaoru,
I might have messaged you a few years ago, I live in walker and train kumdo up here, and I am trying to restablish our roots in kendo waza. Our dojang is in the same family tree as the one in brainerd that you had so much fun with:P. Anyway I would love to chat sometime and maybe get together and train, so I can have a kenshi judge my kumdo and help me in the right direction. I am interested in possibly traveling to one of the TC dojo/clubs to gain better insight also possibly carpool, who knows. Hope to here from you sometime, if only in correspondence.

no problem, actually i may be able to help you with your computer difficulties as i am something of a computer nerd. dell is a poor brand, hp or acer work well for premade. avoid compaq like the plague and macs are terrible

haha. thank you.
yes well my parents are my parents. and i still need to live with them till i get to college. i could probably walk but it's a bit far and i'd have to cross a highway or two. sure we can switch places at least your mother lets you go.
ah well. the path of the samurai is fraught with difficulties.
shigata ga nai
and thanks.

any luck yet kaoru dono?

Thanks for Philly,

its was special.

Must do it again sometime


Mmmwah

Hello Kaoru,

I believe you keep an active list of Iaijutsu / Iaido schools here? We just relocated the Tamiya Ryu Iaijutsu Clarkston Branch to Southeast Michigan (Birmingham, Michigan). There is a placeholder page here with some information, but please feel free to contact me if you would like more. http://www.ustamiyaryu.org/southeastmichigan.html

Thank you!

i live in west plano. at the intersection of ohio and parker if you want to google map it. and it's probably only a half hour away but my parents who don't like kendo period would give me problems if it was right next door to us. this way i can go on my own. I find in life that reasonable things are not always thought of that way by some people. i used to go twice week and then my parents shot the whole thing down. it's really like twenty minutes away by car but since i don't own one.... that's why i am asking. thanks a bunch. it's really more an effort on their part to make me conform to their wishes than any real complaint.

I was going to tell you that although the comment about her writing like an 8-year old girl wasn't polite, it was accurate and I'm glad he said it. It seems endemic to this generation of text-messagers not to write proper English and I'm glad when someone comments on it. It's far better to receive that sort of feedback on a website like this than silently kill a job interview.

Don't get me wrong, I love my sister but she's like that too. She's smart, mature, has her own business, 26 years old, etc., but she's not taken as seriously as she could be because she writes and talks like she's on a Nickelodeon show. I just think it's a shame.

then the best place would be here. i just didn't want to get into a fight again with some of the users like ignatz and whoever.
i remember that you have a large list of dojo's in the US and was wondering if you knew any in dallas except the dfwkik my parents are giving me hell because it's too far to drive.

ahhh misbehaving computers are so much fun right? I don't think I've ever had the pleasure of using a pocket pc but i'm getting this image of you as tsukasa hiiragi from lucky star constantly texting on cell phone. so hilarious. anyway, dog scootering is umm, like dog sledding but with a kick scooter and you only hook up 1 or 2 dogs max. Check out http://www.dogscooter.com (I'm not affilliated wiht the site) for info and pics and stuff. I have 3 huskies and a mystery mutt and well, the huskies will eat the house if I don't keep them busy.
