I mean is it a katana or a longsword or something else? If it's the former I could give you a crash course in using it. If it's not then I could still give you a crash course in handling a blade safely, but you'll have to get someone else to teach you some kata.
I won't be much help in learning the actual use of it, then, but I'd still like to take you through the safeties. It wouldn't do you much good to chop off your own hand by accident.
You might not use it much, but if you ever do have to resort to it then at least you'll know some basics. You'd be surprised at how much they can help you not hurt yourself in a fight, even if you don't technically know the kata.
Besides, having a big-ass sword is like having a big-ass gun: it's intimidating. As long as you look as if you know what you're doing, you might be able to scare opponents off before you actually need to swing the thing around. If you don't know how to at least hold it properly, trust me, they'll know.
Eh, seems to be the case for a lot of people. Even Greggo says he's kinda bored when he's not at home or stuck in the hospital for various reasons. And Greg bored can be a little... scary sometimes.
Just seems like there's not that much to do besides find a job and try to keep yourself mentally occupied if not physically occupied.
I'm not much good at not being physically occupied. There's a lot to do on Clan grounds whenever I get bored, and that's without even having to go into the archives. But here ... not so much.

Date: 2009-10-29 08:21 am (UTC)You sure this is even a good idea? Swords aren't exactly my thing.
/offscreened? *doesn't actually know much about sword safety* XD;

Ehe. Off screened is fine. ^^ I actually DO but I have not the brain for it right now.
Date: 2009-10-29 08:34 am (UTC)Oooooh? Remind me to pick your brain sometime~ X3
Date: 2009-10-29 08:38 am (UTC)I wish you wouldn't do that.
Do what, Master? *she sounds oh-so innocent*
[sigh]
Certianly. Try the weekend. xD; I'm a little less brain dead then.

Date: 2009-10-29 09:03 am (UTC)That was a while ago, though, Master. And it was that or be killed. It's not that important right now.
I would kill for something to do right now other than sleep and lay in bed.
We just wish Master would take care of himself more.
*Draca used puppy-dog eyes attack; it's super effective!*
... [sigh] Fine.

To tell the truth, I've had more time to relax here in the digital world than I ever had back home. Half the time I don't know what to do with myself.
