Today, after months of looking forward to my new fencing lessons and speculating endlessly about the people who might be in my class, I went to my first lesson. I was the only one who showed up. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at the gym, well intent on trying a new workout class. I was the only person in the class and the instructor was clearly disappointed. He reluctantly gave me the class but I could tell he was hating the whole experience. FML
Today, I went to my first class of the semester. After an hour of intense note writing, I realized I was in the wrong class. FML
Today, I decided to go to a therapy group to help with my anxiety and to meet people who felt similar. I joked with my friend that no one would turn up as people might feel anxious about going. I was right. I was the only one there. FML
Today, I went to the gym to try out a new workout class. Halfway through, I realized I was in the wrong room and had accidentally joined a dance class. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months and tried to act like I belonged there. I used the wrong machine, adjusted something I shouldn’t have, and had to ask a teenager how to reset it. FML
Today, I decided to show up to my new class an hour early, to be able to choose my seat, and figure out how the computer lab works… only to find out that the lab was locked and I had to wait until the professor unlocked it. FML
Today, I started at a new school. It's a pretty great school, but there's only one problem: Everybody thinks I'm a teacher. I'm only a freshman. FML
Today, I went to the gym for the first time in months and couldn't figure out how to use any of the equipment. FML
Today, I woke up and decided that I no longer give a fuck what I look like. Today is also the day a very attractive exchange student joined my private band lessons. FML
Today, I finally got the guts to walk out of class 30 minutes early, only to find that the back door was locked. As I stood there like an idiot trying to get it open, all 200 people in my class turned to laugh. My professor stared at me. I then walked back to my seat, sat down, and unpacked. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Single student is better. Soon you will realize is a blessing in disguise.

Not to mention that there's something wildly attractive about a man who can fight skillfully with a sword.

Kitten, the jarheaded knuckle dragging moron was suggesting that fencing would ruin ones social life....it's shit bags like you, Big Guy, that are the problem with society. You denigrate anything that doesn't fit your preconceived and narrow minded view of what is cool. "Stuck in high school syndrome."

- Bruce Dickenson (of Iron Maiden Fame) - Winston Churchill (British Prime Minister during WWII) - George Peppard (Hannibal with the original A Team) what do they have in common? a) all the manliest of manly men. b) all better than you c) all fencers d) all of the above Bruce Dickenson even owns his own fencing equipment company.... you're absolutely right... only losers fence.

Nitram, actually, myself and three other people had commented on his post and somehow they had all disappeared before my second comment was posted. My first comment was something along the lines of "somehow fencing is less manly than getting tangled up with other sweaty men an losing the "good game strictly platonic ass-pat", while sharpening his reflexes, strategic thinking, and agility. I don't know what happened to all this other comments

He will teach you back in the village, as the duelists show you by the flash of the blade!

The evil that men do lives on and on, when you play with madness but why waste your time always searching for those wasted years.(:

Fencing seems like it would be much more useful in the real world then say, basketball or baseball. Plus when fencers have a match, it looks goddamn dangerous, so that's pretty badass.

Agreed

eh... i don't know... baseball could be a bit more useful in the real world... after all - how many houses have swords, vs baseball bats? that said, yes. very badass!

But how many rapists/murderers/muggers are gonna try to take you down with a baseball?

My house has swords in it, because i'm a fencer and I believe that goes for every other fencer. Don't be so ignorant fencing isn't used to fend people off if your attacked on the street it's a sport, hence the name sport fencing.

You're basically getting private lessons, what's the problem?

Curses, foiled again! Fencing is a lousy way to meet girls -- they don't like getting poked with metal swords. Blood-engorged pork ones are a different story. If you are looking to meet guys, you don't need to waste your time learning the art and formal technique of fencing. There are plenty who are up for a nice sword fight.

Think of it this way, you might have a hot fencing coach. Then let's see who's missing out.
