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...

Minion said...

Helena Ember Sky said...

Minion! I agree with you SO much!

Mayan said...

After three days... *shakes head slowly* I feel like the master.

Helena Ember Sky said...

Try having "Baby" but Bieber in your head for five days. My brain was bleeding.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i completely agree with you Minion!

Luciana said...

I've had Fantastic Baby by BIGBANG in my head since it was released...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

I've had Lolita by The Veronicas stuck in my head for a about 2 days now

Star Inkbright said...

Hi people.

THREE HOURS.

That's how long it took me to read all the comments made in my absence.

THREE. HOURS.

*moves chair into a shadier patch of shade* NEVER AGAIN.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

hi Nix, Gem and Flame!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Star!

Luciana said...

And Gem? Yeah, probably, I don't know. I like Deathnote not Soul eater.

Mayan said...

Minion!
You are wise... like a tortise.

Chione Asahina said...

i dont remember anyone from the blog except sparky and isabelle midnight and BB and kalista

Luciana said...

Kallista still comes on Blogland. ^.^

Nixion Strange said...

Gemma, this blog is mine now. You see my name in the last post? That means it's my blog
*evil laugh*

Flame Phoenix said...

Who isn't impressed by their first visit?

Mayan said...

Hi Star and Gemma!

Mayan said...

ANd Nix!

Nixion Strange said...

I was impressed by my first visit

Star Inkbright said...

I'm on holiday still, yes. In the north of France. A part of Europe tha is SUPPOSEDLY NOT INCREDIBLY HOT.

WELL THE SUPPOSITIONS ARE WRONG.

We're caught in a heat wave. 37°C yesterday. THAT'S HOT EVEN BY AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS. WE NEVER PLANNED FOR THIS HEAT. WE NEVER WANTED IT. JUST WALKING TO THR CAMPSITE TOILETS IS A LONG, HOT TREK IN THIS WEATHER.

Being out of the shade is unbearable. We left a candle on the table while we went out yesterfay and it melted. IT'S THE NORTH OF FRANCEFOR GOODNESS SAKE! IT'S NOT MEAMT TO BE AUSTRALIA-STYLE HOT!!!!!

However, it'll apparently cool down on Monday. :)

Msd.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i remember my first visit

Helena Ember Sky said...

It's also many others Nix.

Nixion Strange said...

*rolls eyes at Maya*
I will not stand for this injustice! You didn't notice me immediatly!

Flame Phoenix said...

I remember you, Gemma.

Chione Asahina said...

thank god kall still comes on, what about isabelle and BB? and i know sparky still comes on lol

Nixion Strange said...

Eh, I've been in hotter than 37 Star

Star Inkbright said...

Hi people! *waves* I've missed here SO MUCH. My brain's overloaded from the comments.

GOLDEN GOD.

GO TO SHEFFIELD! SEE LUC! WRITE ON HER ARM, BUT NOT JUST SIGN IT. WRITE SOMETHING AWESOME. WRITE WITH SMALL HANDWRITING AND WITH RAMBLING SENTENCES THAT ARE HEARTFELT AND ARE ABOUT HOPE AND THE RELIEF OF NO MORE PAIN.

Flame Phoenix said...

I remember my first visit..

Kal, Octa, Aquila, Dragona, Gep, pyro and Jaffa morbid were there.

Nixion Strange said...

*stamps foot*

Nixion Strange said...

Eve the ROCK said...

Luciana said...

Sparky comes on on occasion.

Bella? AF, Chat and that's all I know. ._.

Luciana said...

Oh my god, Star. You're amazing, okay.

Nixion Strange said...

*frowns at Luce*
If on ocasion means every ten weeks, then yes

Luciana said...

Heya, Eve! *hugs*

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

bye Maya!

on my first visit, if I remember correctly, Nix, Eve, umm, some others were there

yeah, my memory isnt that good

Star Inkbright said...

Course you've had hotter than 37, Nix. You're Australian. I'M ENGLISH. I'M NOT USED TO THIS.

My phone's, er, nearly out of battery. Mind if I leave for a bit and come back when it has a bit more juice in it? FOURS!

Flame Phoenix said...

Haha Gemmma :D

Nix, it's not your domain.

I've been here longer.

Not your domain.

Nixion Strange said...

My first visit. I would think about it, but I'ma not going to

Chione Asahina said...

@flame: omg i remember kall, octa, ger, aquila, dragon i miss them :( when do they come on??

@luc aww thank you

@nix: WHAT?!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

bye Star!

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah, but Flame, if I remember correctly, I'm the only one who's been here every day except 14 days. MY DOMAIN!

Helena Ember Sky said...

MY COMMENTS AREN'T SHOWING! I'll repeat...

Yes Nixion, it is.

And I should probably get down... *climbs down from Flame*

Eve the ROCK said...

First visits? Hmm. The first time I commented, I asked about the short stories, Sparky asked me to stay and chat coz no one else was there, I said I'd come back later without really intending to, but then I came, and Val was there, and she put a kitten in her mouth I believe.... Yeah, she basically taught me how this place works action-wise without saying anything.

Flame Phoenix said...

Bye Star!

Luciana said...

Nix, she sometimes pops in to say hi. So, shush!

Bye, whoever left!

First time I commented...Eve, Star, Sparky, Flame, pretty sure Zath was there...And some others we don't see anymore. ._.

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Star!!!

*looks at Nix* Never. Been. Gone.

Luciana said...

Uh, your domain, Nix? *frowns*

Uhm...Okay...


Bye, Star! *hugs*

Flame Phoenix said...

You were on me?!

@Gemma, gel and Kal can be gound on FB or Chatzy. Dragons and Aquila on Af. No one likes them lately.

Helena Ember Sky said...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0

Chione Asahina said...

i remember kall, sparky, me aquila and draon were all talking about gremlins lol someone was stupid enough to keep feeding them and gave them guns! and we were all shooting fireballs at them and sparky went a bit crazy... lol then snowmen apeared and we were battling gremlins and snowmen XP anyone except me remember that??

Flame Phoenix said...

Nix when did your domain pop in your head?

Tbh, I've been here for everyday bar recently and holidays.

I've been on months before you too. So get it out of your head 'it's your domain'.

Flame Phoenix said...

That was me!!! I gave them guns and food!

I did it to annoy Val and Sparky!!!

Flame Phoenix said...

Well, yeah Hel, yeah...

Chione Asahina said...

*high fives flame* one of the best nights on this blog xD and flame could you send me a link to the chat? i lost it and couldnt talk to anyone anymore D:

Helena Ember Sky said...

Yeah, exactly Flame.

Luciana said...

If you want it to be one persons domain, find the most blog/fandom famous.

*shrugs* though...Technically Blogland belongs to both Derek and Gen 1...

*pokes Flame* Feeling any better?

Flame Phoenix said...

http://us5.chatzy.com/31863583135996

Thats chatzy. Password is rebellion.

No one goes to AF but like five people cos there was a big fight between Draquilla and a load of people.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Prehistoric Park is on

bye!

Luciana said...

I'm eating popcorn. Again.

I eat popcorn when I'm hyper, it seems... *resumes munching on popcorn*

Flame Phoenix said...

See? Listen to L, Nix.

Helena Ember Sky said...

I saw "The Sapphires" today. Brilliant movie.

Luciana said...

Blogland is a place if equality, in my mind. A place where everyone can be safe and happy. A place where people can ask for help, if they need it, talk to some really awesome people and have a generally good time.. c:

Luciana said...

Of*

Damn it, Autocorrect!

Colleen McGuigan said...

Sorry, I left 'cus my laptop is stupid and took me THIS long to switch it on again. It's completely mucked up, can't wait to get a new one ^.^

Flame Phoenix said...

Is Nix gone?

Luciana said...

*hugs Colleen* It's okay, my dear! ^-^

Colleen McGuigan said...

I just dropped my phone... Crap.

Luciana said...

I'm officially in a foul mood. >.<

Flame Phoenix said...

Why?

Colleen McGuigan said...

Aw, what's wrong L? :'( *Hugsss*

Star Inkbright said...

*hugs everyone* I <3 blogland.

*is looking at the sky* We've got clouds again. CLOUDS. Yay.

So, how is everyone?

Star Inkbright said...

*looks around* And I do beliebw the sun's gpne in.

Maybe it will, finally, cool down to bearable temperatures. :)

Star Inkbright said...

*glares* HOW DARE YOU PEOPLE NOT BE COMMENTING IMMEDIATELY????

Flame Phoenix said...

Haha hi Star! *hugs*

Helena Ember Sky said...

Sorry, didn't feel like commenting. *group hug*

Luciana said...

Hey, Star. *hugs*

Sorry. My mum is yelling at me, again..

Star Inkbright said...

Hi Flame! *hugs*

Blogland belongs to Derek.

And personally, I think it's new regulars who are the life and soul of this place. Old regulars leave for chat or go distanty.

*shouts at top of voice irl* IT'S RAINING!!!!!!!! :D

Star Inkbright said...

Oh, by 'old regulars', I do include people who aren't as old as first gen. but still fairly oldish. Like *coughs* me.

Star Inkbright said...

*has just had my dad tell me off for shouting IT'S RAINING! really loudly*

Flame Phoenix said...

And meeeeeee!

And yes star, it is.

Helena Ember Sky said...

Stupid moustache.

Chione Asahina said...

Helena Ember Sky said...

Luciana said...

Nixion Strange said...

MY DOMAIN!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

did you go to see derek

Illustria (GNoire) said...

Every time I come on here, there's always some kine of conversation going on. Its nice ~
Hi everyone ^ ^

Luciana said...

Nix, ffs, this is not your domain. Just shut the hell up about it, it's p*ssing me off, now. It's not even funny.

Blogland is a place where everyone is supposed to be equal. It's supposed to be a place where people can have fun, smile, and even get help. Blogland belongs to us all.

Unknown said...

Yes I'm here. (:

Uilliam Kinsella said...

oh nix are you still a figment of awesomeness

Illustria (GNoire) said...

Ack > < *kind

Unknown said...

I saw Derek on Thursday when he was in Melbourne.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

lucky

Nixion Strange said...

Oh yes, because I've been smiling here so mcuh
You just told me to shut up because it's annoying you. And I'm selfish in this senario or something?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

*silently curses the ausminions for their hording of derek*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

*silently curses the ausminions for their hording of derek*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

see ya gotta go

Unknown said...

I saw him for two minutes. It was the best two minutes in my book signing history.

Unknown said...

Bye Eden. (:

Luciana said...

Nix, I know I'm selfish but you're just being downright obnoxious! I've not seen anyone agree with you, here. It's not your domain, I tried saying it nicely. But now I'm seriously f*cked off.

I'm not in a good mood, as it is. I've been grounded, again, for trying to do my homework, so I can't go see my best friend even though she could die at any moment because of the cancer! The guy I love and the only reason I am living is on the opposite side of the world! I spend most of my life worrying about how Kallie and Em are holding up...I've not had a proper night's sleep in so long...I don't remember what it's like to dream.

I don't have many good memories, but most of the ones I have are here in Blogland. Because Blogland belongs to everyone. These worries I have every single day, these things that bother me...They're in the shadows when I get to come here. When I get to know that I'm still a person and I deserve the same as everyone else, as opposed to being treated like I have no feelings. I'm fed up of expectations. But here, there aren't expectations of me to be someone I'm not.

It belongs to us all. Just accept that!

Luciana said...

Bye, Eden!

Luciana said...

I'm going. I'm depressed and p*ssed off.

I'm no good for anyone...And I have to do homework...and chores...

Nixion Strange said...

Jeez, take a f***ing joke

I gave my f***ing life for this place. I stoped spending time with my family, because I once had friends. No I can't go two meters without someone hating me.
My friends in hopspital as well, and I have no idea what the hell he's in there for. Having someone you love on the other side of the world? Oh, I wonder what that's like. You know, I've never had a good night sleep. When I was little, the nightmares used to keep my up most of the night. And they've never stoped. I don't like to sleep, because I can not seriously remember one night I had a good dream.

You know, I gave everything for this place. And I don't even get the tinest little respect. I have new people dissing me as much as my 'friends'. Quite honestly, I think maybe I should just shut up, because obviously no one's happy when I say anything

Unknown said...

Bye Luciana.
Hope you feel better soon.

Unknown said...

Heading off now. Bye to anyone who is lurking. :)

Chione Asahina said...

bye ellen

Willow Storm said...

Hello!

Chione Asahina said...

hi willow, you havnt met me yet have you? i have have this for a year but i havnt been on as much, hi im gemma :)

Willow Storm said...

Hello, Gemma! It's lovely to meet you! :3

Chione Asahina said...

you to :)

Luciana said...

I apologize for being so harsh, earlier...

But...
You say you gave your life for this place. That was //your// choice, not ours. You stopped spending time with family because of it and you used to have friends. They're your choices. You chose us over them, clearly.

My best friend, the only friend I have in real life...That's who she is. She's the only reason I am still in the UK. I'd have moved to Australia by now, if it wasn't for her. I can't leave her. Even if it meant to leave a lot of troubles behind...I'm not leaving her because she needs me. She's the only person I can trust in real life...She and I have both been critically ill multiple times in our lives and still have all this other crap to put up with. Then, I found out my grandad could have cancer, as well. He was there for me when I spent almost a month in hospital, barely able to move...or even speak. I could lose him, as well.
At least she loves you back and you can be with her in some way. But me...I can't have him. He's on the opposite side of the world, yet he managed to change me so much. He's helped me so much and I barely know him. The night I met him my nightmares of torture and hurt of my best friend...They changed to him. He was the one that they were torturing...Hurting...My nightmares only revolve around the person I care about most in the world...I wake up in the middle of the night clutching my chest in pain, sweating, crying, hurting...Wishing I could just know he was okay
I barely sleep, as it is, when I do sleep I'm plagued by nightmares. I can't go to sleep until the rest of my family are asleep, because I worry about them. Every single day...I just spend it worrying. I stay up every night to watch my brother go to sleep, to calm him down when the nightmares strike. I can't stand to watch my loved ones in pain...When they're all asleep I'll still be up for another hour, at least, crying. Trying to get some sleep. You know, there's been one day in the past couple of years that I've not broken down into tears because everything is too much. I'm supposed to be strong...
I only remember one dream I had...And that was the night I read the first Skulduggery book...I felt safe for the first time. I felt like I wasn't so alone...I don't even remember what the dream was. But I remember waking up smiling...

You gace up everything for this place? I had nothing to give up...This place is my everything. People that show respect get respect. I respect most people. There's only a select few people I don't respect, and that's for the right reasons. I have people I love insult me everyday, and new people. People I don't know. Until this fandom, I didn't know what it was like to be liked...You mind loved.

Maybe you should shut up and listen...
Listen to how we truly do love you, Nix. Sometimes I just lose it, okay? Sometimes I just want to give in. I lost hope so long ago...A simple smile means the world to me, and up until yesterday I thought a smile was the nicest thing anyone had ever done for me...I can't believe I let myself lose it. I'm sorry, but you need to accept that not everyone's going to like you and not everyone is going to agree with what you say.


Sorry to everyone for me losing it. I've bene unstable for days, to be honest...I'm sorry. *hugs everyone* I love you all and I hope you can forgive me for my actions.

I've not even started, Eve. *smiles weakly*

Willow Storm said...

Wow, another person in my life, lied to me. I don't understand why it hurts so much.

Eve the ROCK said...

*looks from Luce to Willow to Nix* Awwww, we're all so sad today. I declare this day, Hugging Day! *huuuuuuuugs*

Anonymous said...

((sigh))

I'd like to be a woman with a buff bod like hers' when I grow up too. Sadly, I'm already an adult who despises exercise.

Drew O'Connor said...

Everyone just needs to start to calm down and use this place as a respite from the real world.

So that means no jumping down people's throat, no throwing childish strops. No worrying about the outside world and certainly no domain claiming lol

Seriously guys, we're all going through so much shit lately, now is the time to look upon one another as support so the shit days don't seem so bad in the real world.

Willow Storm said...

*hugs back*
It's my dads birthday, today . . . He won't answer the phone and is ignoring me on FB. He's going to give out to me for not trying to contact him, when I get home, per usual.

Luciana said...

See, Em, that's what I am fed up of having to say.

Everyone coming to me and expecting me to be okay and expecting I can handle everything and even things out...

Then I just lose it..

I try the calm approach, but when people don't listen I just...Snap, I guess...

*mumbles*likethetimeIalmostbrokethatguysarm..

Luciana said...

There's always hope, though.

Robin Snowscar said...

DON'T TEASE ME WITH KOTW MENTIONS DEREK. DON'T BLOODY DO IT.

Luciana said...

I guess I know what I am dedicating to, then...

Drew O'Connor said...

There is always hope.

Everyone just needs to remember that in here, we're a family.

Robin Snowscar said...

Oh God. We're all getting to sentimental in our old age.

Lilie said...

Hi Guys! *Hugs*
How is every one?
