So here's what I'm thinking. I'm never going to be a warrior, not in a grab-a-sword kind of way, but let's be real - there are going to be some situations that I won't be able to talk, smile, or otherwise get away from with the sheer power of my awesome. I have the training that all camp members receive, but that's pretty basic and generic and my odds of survival might even decrease instead of the other way around.

So who's got an idea for a weapon - and please don't default to archery, the next person to suggest archery like it's somehow coded into the female chromosomes can just roll right right along - that would be good for me to learn, as well as hand to hand and evasion techniques? I think the thing to focus on for me is not necessarily how to take down any opponent who comes along, but instead gives me the best odds to escape, evade, or buy time until more those more talented in the arts of war arrive.

So I'm taking suggestions, and considering offers of tutelage. Yes, that is a word. It'll be on your SATs, look it up.
