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...

And telling him what he did with HB fir Lu was amazing.

Chione Asahina said...

have any of you seen Derek's signature? whatever you do, do not!!!! say its a chef hat or a toadstool or a peice of toast, the boy in front of me said that and Derek said "noooo, its skulduggery" and my mum said "all they years if art school didnt pay off" i love my mum for saying that. then cause i overheard him. he asked me what it was and i said skulduggery lol

Flame Phoenix said...

Lilie do you remember me? *wonders*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Lilie said...

Of corse I remember you!

Chione Asahina said...

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Flame Phoenix said...

He draws skulduggery and himself.

Lilie said...

He doesn't?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I've seen his signature!


*holds signed books as though they are the most important things in the world*

Flame Phoenix said...

It's obviously SP.

I know he does a d and a line and a l and a line.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

He DOES write his full name, but he's a famous person so he does a fancy signature that makes it hard to read, because that's what famous people do.



When I'm famous, I'll just write my name like I'm writing something for a school assignment, because no matter how hard I try I cannot make the letter "I" look fancy.

Chione Asahina said...

he just draws skulduggery, and i think that his legs look like Dereks initials

Flame Phoenix said...

He signed an autograph book I got and he drew himself.

He looks like a beaker in a science lab.

And Lilie, YAY!

Flame Phoenix said...

They ARE his initials...

Chione Asahina said...

i feel so so so sorry for the ones who havnt met Derek and the ones who don't have Kingdom of the Wicked

Chione Asahina said...

Meh, I'm bored of guitar now.

And yeah, I play. Piano, too.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Really? I didn't know that. I'm sure you knew I played cello, though. I've made that kind of obvious.

And I sort of play Viola, but only a little.

Flame Phoenix said...

Really. And yeah, I did.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

That's cool. I wanna learn guitar, because there's only so much you can learn for cello, but I don't have a guitar.


*thinks*

I should know how to play. I live in a family of musicians, most of which are in bands where they play guitar.

Komodo Devious said...

Willow Storm said...

It's going to be sleepless night, tonight. I don't recognize myself in the mirror, anymore. Though, that would be my fault, all of this mess at home is all my fault. No one can tell me it in't, because it is. Maybe if I was a boy like Mother and Father wanted me to be, they'd care. Everyone who I've told, say it's going to get better. A load of bullsh*t I say. How do they know? It doesn't always get better. People die everyday, from a disease. That's not getting better, is it? Why should anything get better? What's the point of living? Life only gets worse. Maybe for some people, it gets better. I can't see my life getting better, so I don't see the point of me being here. No one would miss me. And if they did, I'd be forgotten easily. I always am.

Boo!

I Gotta go now, bye!

Hey Thrust. There wasn't one. Val was complaining about living here.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Because I hate it.




Hello people!

Hey Val. Just out of curiosity, what brought on the hatred of America?

Reflector said...

Ah, yes living... here.
Okay,
And val, If I were to answer that one, I wouldda said the same thing.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

The fact that

1. We never get anything here. Ex: Skulduggery Pleasant, Derek...

2. The people. I don't like the people here. They think I'm an idiot because I like things that aren't from this country.

3. I was very frustrated earlier. I still am.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Well, I was angry earlier because my plan was that if I got KOTW on my Kindle - I hate Kindle books, but hey, no waiting for shipping - I could read it sooner.

But nooooooo. Because I live in stupid America I can't get it. I have to wait forever for it to ship over here.

I preordered it a while ago, but I'm still pissed that I have to wait.

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

I dedicate this page to Rue the tribute of District 11. At 12 she got reaped to go to the Hunger Games, she allied with Katniss but poor Rue was killed in the attempt to destroy the Career Tribute's supplies. Marvel of District 1 killed her. Katniss took care of Marvel by killing him. Rue died and she didnt deserve it. No kid deserves to die. Her family suffers, everyone. So to Rue *does the District 12 salute*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I also think of Matt Smith from Doctor Who...



You know you're obsessed with SP when you can make everything into a Skulduggery reference.
