My love of history led me to studying Western martial arts which led me to collecting blades..oh and attending Renaissance faires where I can indulge in both of those pursuits.


Some faire garb and two daggers.

Flame blade and straight....

Hilts of my (l to r) hand and a half bastard sword, foil and broadsword.

Full length...the wooden bit across the bottom is my 6 foot quarterstaff.

I have another on the way...a basket hilt rapier...pics of it hopefully soon! All the blades in these pics come from Angel Sword. I encourage you to check them out! http://www.angelsword.com

OOOOOO pretty swords!!! =D they r awesome. I have a small obsession with sharp objects to hehe.

Uhhh well everyone knows i mountain bike in my spare time and obviously play my pc waay to much but im also sort of a science geek =P sooo i spend alot of time reading science geek sort of stuff hehe. Anyone that knows me will probably laugh at this coz its not the first thing u would imagine me to have a hobby of but i collect ornaments to, its a total obsession collected them ever since i was little and have well into the hundreds of them now. Dont ask me why coz i dont know, i just like ornaments =D lol. Any other spare time left i use to sleep :queen:

I'm scared of sharp objects. They usually require a hospital visit and I even get a tear in my eye when the Dr. has to give me a shot. :toothy8:

Remember Karma, it's not the size of the sword that counts, but how skilled you are at using it :happy7:

I do random things:

Sculpt, paint, form, weld, or a combo of those
Mountain Bike
Cause irreversible psychological damage to my cats (oh wait, I have that reversed, it must be my dain bramage)
Spend time with the wife and my soon to be born baby daughter Fionah

copious
One entry found.
I was confused so it was off to find the meaning .



Main Entry:
co·pi·ous Listen to the pronunciation of copious
Pronunciation:
\ˈkō-pē-əs\
Function:
adjective
Etymology:
Middle English, from Latin copiosus, from copia abundance, from co- + ops wealth — more at opulent
Date:
14th century

1 a: yielding something abundantly <a copious harvest> <copious springs> b: plentiful in number <copious references to other writers>2 a: full of thought, information, or matter b: profuse or exuberant in words, expression, or style <a copious talker>3: present in large quantity : taking place on a large scale <copious weeping> <copious food and drink>


Is the question what we do with the large amount of spare time we have ? Or things we collect and or are fond of ?

Nice blades Karma , I need to take some picts me thinks.... My spare time as of recent has been , well your looking at it .
