I would like to thank everyone

Yeah I know "XENA UR SUCH N ATTENTIONHOOR U SED UR LEEVIN" but how could I leave without thanking you all for what you unwittingly given me?

The other day, in SCHOOL OF ALL PLACES, we were watching this thing called Sport Science, and there was a segment with a martial artist and his adrenaline. I was intrigued as all heck since "martial artist" is one of my top career choices if I don't make bounty hunter. In that segment, they did tests on the guy's adrenaline, and it turned out that he used the most force in his hit when his trainer gave him something to rage about.

So it's all in the rage, huh? Well, I've got quite a bit to rage about. Like, for example, people telling me I'll never make my career? And then some?

So thanks. By telling me I'll never have a career, you've all actually enhanced it. Yesterday I was training by using my mom's exercise mat as a punching bag, and Vanessa's eyes just went wide when she was watching me and I made the whole house vibrate occassionally. I was surprised at myself, actually. So the secret really is all in the rage.

And if you guys call me an attentionwhore for saying I'm going to leave, well, you'll only add more fuel to the fire. Anything you say to me now will only add more fuel to the fire and it will only pump me more and more until I let out all that rage in my training. Whatever you say to me now, I can use to my advantage. Hell, I'll keep coming back here before I train just to see what you bitches have to say to me that will allow me to fuel my fight. It's all in the rage.

So thanks, all of you, for being cocksuckers. And I'm not even being sarcastic there. I'm GLAD you've given me something to rage over. Because now it can fuel my fight. :) You told me I'll never have a career, but by doing that you've actually enhanced it. So thanks.

Doesn't matter if you're fucking crazy, you'll still never be a bounty hunter.

No one ever seems to leave this place for good, ever. Hell, I think even Taylor still lurks around here. HI, TAYLOR. (inb4 Ile jumps in and becomes MISTER LITERAL)

Anyway, Xena, I can't tell you, "You'll never be able to become a bounty hunter/archaeologist/space marine/whatever, so don't even try it." I'm kind of a bitch, but I still don't like to crush people's career dreams. However:

1) You will need to make some MAJOR attitude adjustments for some of these careers, especially bounty hunting. I don't just mean physical training, I'm talking about the whole "having emotional breakdowns over school/getting yelled at/the negative opinions of Internet strangers." I'm not trolling, I'm being honest. So get to work, toots.

2) I know this sounds condescending, but bounty hunting in Metroid and Cowboy Bebop =/= bounty hunting IRL. I really, really, really hope you realize that.

3) Please go to college if you can. I know it's more school to deal with and I know you've mentioned that a college education isn't required for some of your career choices. However, it really helps to have a Plan B. If you're worried about your financial situation, talk to your counselor about scholarships and financial aid (and hopefully, you don't have a shitty high school counselor like I did). If you don't think you can handle four years of extra education, at least go to a community college for two years and get some sort of Associate's Degree. Community colleges are usually smaller and less intimidating than four-year universities, the teachers are helpful, and the students are generally well-behaved (in comparison to the rowdy, loud-mouthed high schoolers you probably have to deal with everyday). You can take online classes as well, but you probably won't be able to take online classes ONLY.

That's shit advice and I don't think any of that's going to get through, but for the record, I tried.

Here's some rage-fuel for you.

I think you made your whole house shake because you're huge. Not because you have a good uppercut. Might wanna improve that C average, since stripping is definitely out for you.

Actually Xena, I've been a martial artist since I was 9. Formerly internationally ranked, and a 2002 olympic hopeful. I just want to let you know that it most definately is NOT about the rage. I don't know if you went off on a tangent after that, but once I saw this part I had to immediately reply. The whole point of any martial art, is to focus, center yourself and fight smart (if you even have to fight at all). not blindly going into a fight and raaaaaaaging.

Anyone who has even gone into a fight mad (myself included), has made mistakes. Amount of force behind the attack? maybe a little stronger that one time, but i guarantee you, that person will tire out almost immediately and in the long run, end with weaker attacks. There are techniques and ways to train your body to attack with more power and skill using less energy. Sometimes its something as simple as a turn of the hip.

Finally, being a Martial Artist is not a Career. It is genuinely a lifestyle. There are rules to live by, and choices to make that will define you as a martial artist. It takes a strong will, and a genuine want to become one. I think you would benefit greatly from a martial arts. It will help you to get into shape, and maybe lose some weight (it helped me). Not only that, it teaches self control, and a good way to live your life. Check it out. even if it's through the YMCA. Start off with one class and if you stick with it, look for an academy/dojo/dojang with a black belt program.

I know I've just been trolled, but dammit. this one hits close to home for me.

This may seem a little forward and I may not even know your name, but I must ask. From the bottom of what little heart I have left, will you marry me, CausticKisses?
