You have a sword?  :o

 

You should bring it to a wedding. :ph34r:

It was at a combat class. It was a real sword though.

You know you're a Sanderfan when you actually buy a copy of the Rithmatist at the SLC airport, and when you are really tempted to keep daggers under your pillow because you happen to have some and just about got confronted by a creeper one time recently... and yes, this all really happened. :)

When you see something advertised as 'Cadmium service' and you start wondering if you

fell into Scadrial, and whether cadmium is more valuable than gold and silver. (I don't quite remember it's Allomantic properties so....)

What do you mean you forgot Marasi's powers?!?

They're not that useless :(

When you start seeing the similarities between you and other characters, and make yourself act like that character.

When you get on an airplane and ask the person next to you if they have read Sanderson. I mean, you got several hours, you can either geek out with them the entire time or finally explain enough in one sitting to fully convert them.

You know you're a Sanderfan when your friends are acting super competitive and you wonder if the Thrill of contest is getting to them.

 

You know you're a Sanderfan when you're in a band and refer to any and all early morning rehearsals as "Bands of Morning". (Example: "I'll have to get up early tomorrow, I have Bands of Morning before school.")

 

You know you have too much spare time on your hands when you realize that, after writing two books in the Stormlight Archive, Brandon Sanderson can safely be referred to as the Writer of Storms. :P

Fencing weapons don't get this kinda reaction?

 

Nightblood is great as a melee weapon too though.

I mean, a shardblade on crack is always a good thing to have. As long as you have enough breath.

 

I wonder what the ref would do when I take a parry and the opponents blade just disintegrates . . .

 

 

back on topic: When you decide not to name the foil because the only the manufactures know the right name for it.

When you have actually been on 17th Shard when Kobold is off.

 

Yes, this can actually happen. Apparently.

Hey, cool, another fencer.

Most fantasy books ignore the fact that the hand is the easiest thing to hit with a weapon. Sanderson doesn't. It's really nice.

About the whole cat naming thing? I got lucky, and was able to persuade my sisters, who have not read cosmere books, to name two of our four cats Kaladin, and Hoid. Later, after we left on vacation, who survived and stayed? Hoid and Kaladin. mns2x.jpgvia Imgflip Meme Maker

Also cat naming, my sister(a burgeoning Sanderfan), named our cat Anderson. Of course, I cannot resist adding an s to the beginning of his name....

When your system for classifying attractive women is very similar to David's system of classifying Epics

 

 

So... a High Woman is a woman whose powers prevent her from being assassinated by conventional means?

 

Good idea. That's an important consideration when picking out a soulmate. :P

Foil, Epee, or Saber? I'm guessing Saber.

 

I'd like to call myself an Epeeist, but I'm probably more of a Foilist because Epee events are almost non-existent in the Utah-southern Idaho division.

 

On Topic: When you keep having to tell yourself that your en garde is NOT supposed to look like smokestance.

Actually I call them Recogs and High Recogs (I have other classifications but this is the biggest one)

 

I have a lot of trouble remembering people's faces, especially out of context. A Recog is a woman whose face I can remember. A High Recog is one of those (few) women whose face for some mysterious reason I learn quickly and don't have a problem remembering. While Recognizability does not seem directly correlated with general attractiveness, I usually find myself interested in High Recogs.

You know you are a sanderfan when you think that there might be creepy symbol headed. . . Things in your room, and hence you don't want to draw.

My favourite is saber, but I do the most foil. Same sort of situation in my town. Pretty much all foil.

And then get derailed trying to remember all stances, and how to apply the theory to fencing..,
