What is the

What is the meaning of your name? My name means all-containing, universal and industrious. My actual name is Emma, but all my friends call me Ema, so I used that on the Chatterbox. I had to look Emma up. :)

Darling, it's en garde. I'm not nitpicking; just that a year and a half of fencing makes it instinctive to correct these things... like in the movies, when ARGGGHH they make the fencing bouts last for hoursandhoursandhours! Real bouts take three seconds. Literally. Three. Seconds. Honestly, it makes me so annoyed- *is shot*

Mm. Sorry about that. I'll leave now...

Haha. I fenced one year.... this one time, my friend and I were fencing in front of one of the older kids who was helping out. He said "You can never put two ends of the fencing swords together. It's impossible." My friend and I both had the same thought, and we each stuck our swords out, and the tips connected immediately. The kid was just like "Oh." It was really funny. Ah yes.. those were the days of doing a hundred lunges against the wall.

Certainly not impossible... in fact that happens to me all the time. *shrug*

A hundred lunges against the wall? Awesome. Yes, I'm quite a geek.

BuksRul means Books Rule? I thought it was Bucks Rule. I was never sure whether Bucks meant dollars or male deer, but I didn't ask for fear of something like this happening and making me look ignorant.

Books are wonderful, though. I don't know what I'd do without them.

Paige means "Assistant"...  I wish it were ruler... :):) MacKenzie means "Son of Kenneth."  And Kenzie means "Decendent of the Handsome Man."  I guess that somewhere in Scotland, there must have been a pretty handsome dude named Kenneth. :):)
