Ronda Rousey and the Atomic Armbar

Sitting in my hotel room in Perth, on the only day off I have on this tour, two days of events left and then I go home, and I'm smiling like a loon because I've just watched the Rousey vs Kaufman fight.

For those of you who have read KOTW, you may remember the mention of a certain Ronda Rousey and her now-legendary armbars.

THIS is the type of woman I want my nieces to be like when they grow up.


And now I must go. I have a lot of work to do on my day off...

Shush, Willow, you're someone I know and I've only been here since end of last year/beginning of this year. It's fine.

I don'r like that^^

Luciana said...

You're still new. >.<

It's weird there being so few of the regs... D:

Willow Storm said...

I read the comments for awhile, before joining in on the conversation. :S

Luciana said...

*laughs* Same.

I was scared to comment for ages. :P

Mayan said...

I've read this blog for a yearand a 1/2-ish I was too shy to comment though until last month.

Mayan said...

Bye Brave!

Willow Storm said...

I looked like death, today, compared to my classmates.

Luciana said...

*hugs Willow* You okay, sweetie?

Mayan said...

Death...

Willow Storm said...

I'm feeling a lot better, but, my expressions will remain sad and bored, not happy and smiling like all the others.

Luciana said...

*frowns* Good that you're feeling a lot better.

I'm here, remember. Even if you just need to shout at someone! :P

Mayan said...

Why do you feel bored (you don't need to answer if you don't want to)

Willow Storm said...

I'll be fine, until I go to Dads. Hopefully I won't have to stay over night. My room will smell like booze and I won't be allowed to wash the covers. *coughOldPeopleSleepingonmyBedDrunkcough*

Mayan said...

Actually I need to go now
Byeee! Have a nice day/night/other!

Willow Storm said...

No one to text. No siblings. Only old people. And cats. A bird. I don't mind the pets, but people . . . *shudders*

Willow Storm said...

Bye Maya!

Mayan said...

I am sorry I must have sounded so rude like I was avoiding you or something. Sorry.
So yeah... GTG (for real) Byee!
*delete actually from above comment

Mayan said...

To self :DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!!!
@Willow Try making a memory palace then you don't get bored. That's what I do. Now Homework.
Bye!

Luciana said...

Bye, Maya! *hugs*

*hugs Willow* Things'll get better. I know you must hear it a lot, but, things are getting better for me...Even after all these years. Just because I found hope...

Willow Storm said...

I've started smiling on the inside, now. I don't feel cold and empty, anymore.

Luciana said...

That's great news! :D

Gonna go take medicine. Be back soon! *hugs* BE BRAVE!

Willow Storm said...

Okay, Luce! *hugs back*

Luciana said...

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Hi everybody I'm back

Willow Storm said...

I feel like going to sleep again.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Yeah what's He like

Willow Storm said...

Hi Eden!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Why it's midday

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

ok, he was AMAZING
I sat with my friend and we were basically giggling the whole time

the best day of my LIFE

so he talked a bit more, then came the signing

everyone dashed, eager to get to the front. My friend and I weren't far from the front, so we only waited about 3-6 minutes. I was firstout of me and my friend, so I put my books up to get signed. When Derek began to sign my books, I gave him a picture I drew. I might put it on my blog as soon as I can. He thanked me. I then told him I was Miss Cain from the blog. (I was getting my books signed to my given name). At that, he beamed with joy and asked for a hug. I GOT A HUG FROM THE GOLDEN GOD. So, he then signed the rest of my books, saying how good it was to meet face-to-face. My friend stared at me. I was shaking with the awesomeness of it. He started laughing when I said I was speechless, as I always talk.




I'll do a bigger version on my blog later.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

so, in short.


IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME!!

Cat said...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I'm gonna burn what ever the deal is on.


*gets matches ready*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Oh snap I got first

Uilliam Kinsella said...

You should ve read the posts above

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Dammit one minute and I would've had 3 consecutive dedications

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I already did.




Please, allow me some time to go sulk.


Bye.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I dedicate this page to the film deal in 3 months. Derek I swear over my life if you give the rights to Disney you'll see the wrath of Zafira Kerias. You will meet ninja penguins, i will swim iver to Ireland. But, anyhow. This movie will be awesone cuz Derek created SP :D

Cat said...

WHat's up, Valkyrie V. Cain?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

* damns zaf for cheating me and sends a virus to her computer or whatever she is using*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*kills. Virus*

i won. xD

Uilliam Kinsella said...

* teleports to zaf with a hammer and smashes what she is using * < 3

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

What's wrong is if they make a film now the last three years of my life would've been wasted. I've spent my time talking about Skulduggery and telling people I'm Valkyrie and having a laugh about it. But if they make a movie now, then what am I supposed to do? The next time I tell someone, "Oh, yeah, I like to pretend I'm Valkyrie Cain" they'll say, "Well, that's too bad, because so-and-so in the movie is Valkyrie".

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Just looked out the window to see a bright rainbow and no flame ( read the last nights comments if you don't get it )

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*you fail*

Willow Storm said...

Sorry, I feel asleep.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Yeah and everyone will be into sp and the originals who were here before it was cool ( even though it was always cool ) would be left behind

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*crosses arms and sulks*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Run Katniss run!!!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

On different note, I feel I wont get the lecture cuz im safe in America, I like Eve actually like Twilight

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I think it's okay but the vampires in sp are cooler than twilight

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

IS THERE ANY POSSIBLE WAY TO AUDITION FOR VALKYRIE

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Well hopefully I dont get the...lecture

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Okay I'm said cause there's no way I can be in the movie it's so much easier to be characters when there in books

Robin Snowscar said...

Val, he still has the film rights, you're too old anyway right? JUST SAYING.

Robin Snowscar said...

See the way I just jumped in there.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I'm thirteen. Valkyrie's twelve. I'm not too old.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Funny thing just happened we were trying to get reservations for a restaurant and we were asking the front desk of the hotel if it was a pizzaria and the girl didnt know what a pizza was

Robin Snowscar said...

Oh I thought you were just a year younger than me! Sorry! Y'all are still 13...

Robin Snowscar said...

Got your irish accent down Val?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Well at least there's a character you could be there's no twelve or thirteen year old boys in the first book

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Maybe I could be fletcher if the third movie comes out I might be old enough then ( I mean looking )

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*sulks*


Yeah, I've sort of got it down. I would have to ask an Irish person for advice, but for the most part I can trick people that I'm Irish very easily.

Robin Snowscar said...

I reckon my brother will be old enough to play Fletcher when the movie comes out. He's just 12...

Uilliam Kinsella said...

You could ask me And robin tell your brother that I'm fletcher * stares angrily at robin*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Not to mention my friends squeal whenever I do an Irish accent because they think it sounds amazing when I do any sort of accent.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

You're Fletcher?


*backs away*

Robin Snowscar said...

He doesn't want to be. Same way I never wanted to be Val. He's exactly like Fletcher though. An ass who is actually quite sweet and cares way too much about his hair.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Everyone just thinks I'm stupid when I do an accent unless it's really really good

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Well my hair already sticks up at odd angles ( I have the coolest cows lick ever )

Uilliam Kinsella said...

And I can act really well I spent 6 years in acting classes ( my mom didn't want me too have an Irish accent )

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Well, Fletcher is English anyway.

Luciana said...

I do make news travel fast~

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Which is very good cause I don't have an Irish accent when I was little I never watched Irish tv so I talked like a Brit and an American depending on what I was watching

Robin Snowscar said...

Yeah, I'm English! I'll probably be old enough for bloody Tanith when the movie comes out -.-

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Yeah thanks for sparking the discussion luce

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Really you could play someone in their twenties?

Luciana said...

I spammed the fandom with it...

hehehehe.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Dear god get ready for an influx of people

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Has any of the English or Irish minion seen the adds for Keith lemon the movie

Robin Snowscar said...

Yes Eden! -.-

I was just thinking that Kal being an extra would be fun...

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Yeah I was thinking about that but how many twelve year olds would be in the sanctuary and I don't want to be a mortal extra

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*scowls*

I could play Valkyrie. I know I could.


But nooooooo, of course I live in stupid America.

Robin Snowscar said...

Yeah I was implying that it'll probably be YEARS until the movie comes out...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Kallista can be Kallista in Death Bringer.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I hope the series will be complete by then

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Val it might be filmed in America depending on who gets the rights

Robin Snowscar said...

That'd be cool! Kallie plays Kallie xD

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Oooh i'd love to play a Necromancer im too young to play Mel though...maybe by time they do Mortal Coil I'd be old enough
