    Sure you have. You were just so horrendously scarred by that event that your brain repressed that traumatic memory.

    Congrats! What's that quote? "You've just taken a step into a much larger world."

    As for the girlfriend troubles... Sucks to be you. XD
    This is why I only date geeks and nerds. You can pack SO much ***ual inuendo into conversaions about lightsabers.

    If you're like me, then lightsabers will be like crack. You'll finish this one and have a billion ideas on how to tweak, imrpove and make one better than your first. And, you will. With each one, you'll learn techniques and rules of thumb to help you make something truly bad-ass.

    Some things you'll learn fast:
    1) People at hardware stores can give you the weirdest looks for the simplest things. "Where do you keep thumbscrews?" can lead to a 10-minute "what the hell is a thumbscrew?" conversation.
    2) 1.5" chrome tubes can fit in 1.25" PVC (130 psi?) ... I know this defies physics and common sense, but it's true.
    3) Do not look right at the LED the first time you turn it on. It will only lead to pain.
    4) Do not touch any exposed metal along the circut as you try out the battery. It leads to similar pain.
    5) Singing as you build/drill/tap/solder/etc will get odd looks from those around you but makes things a lot more fun.
    6) Practice fancy moves in private before you try in front of your friends. Saves you the embarassment of messing up and smacking yourself in the face.

    ...
    1 happeneed, but it was more of a 5-minute conversation.
    2 lead to an argument with the Home Depot guy.
    3 ... Did that.
    4 ... Did that, too.
    5 I always do this! I think it helps put my spirit in my weapon.
    6 ... Did this one, too.

    I recently did an interesting spin move with a vader saber, only to have it fly out of my hand and hit me in the face...then magically land BACK into the same hand...I totally meant to do it.
