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...

Nixion Strange said...

Okay, no more putting it off... time to start my homework

Lynxia Lost said...

I feel so sorry for you Nix. *pats his shoulder*

Eve the ROCK said...

*pouts* My friend wants to join the blog.

Lynxia Lost said...

Don't let them Eve, well you can if you want to, but personal experiences are telling me to tell you not to let them.

Drew O'Connor said...

Why do they want to join the blog?
Have they read SP or know of Derek??

Luciana said...

Eve! *hugs*

*grins* WHAT TIME IS IT OVER THERE, EVE?

Luciana said...

I am so tired...

Lynxia Lost said...

Why Luce?

Luciana said...

Why what?

Time or why am I tired?

I couldn't sleep because I was waiting for an e-mail...I can't sleep without having talked to him first...

Lynxia Lost said...

Okay Luce. I sleep when I need to, otherwise I write or draw or something.

Luciana said...

I hate time zones...

I'm getting a job in November, most probably...So I might be able to go to Adelaide in the next couple of years! XD

Lynxia Lost said...

Awesome Luce!! Be sure to have fun!!

Luciana said...

It'll probably depend on if I can convince my mum...hmph...

Hehe, thanks Lynx! *hugs*

I just wanna meet HB...*laughs* And take him to a theme park! *grins*

Lynxia Lost said...

Theme park... Okay... Why a theme park?

Eve the ROCK said...

Yeah...she reads Skulduggery Pleasant and she went to the signing coz I told her about it...I basically introduced everything to her.... And she asks me questions and I answer and she kept asking where I got my information from and I wouldn't say but she found the blog and she knows I talk here and she wants to join because 'it looks really cool'. There wouldn't be any problems with her, she's really friendly, but... This is MY place. And if she doesn't get the answers from me she's going to find out for herself and join the blog.


It's 7:46pm :)



Lynxia Lost said...

Do what you want Eve. Give us a list of taboo subjects and we'll keep away from them while she's here.

Drew O'Connor said...

Well then tell her to come on board :D

Eve the ROCK said...

Anyone heard of the game Sanatarium/sanatorium/whatever? It's Slender but in a different place with less open spaces and less 'im following you from BEHIND", of you know what that implies.... ;)

Lynxia Lost said...

I've played it Eve, it's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo creepy!!

Nixion Strange said...

Watched PewDiePie play it

Eve the ROCK said...

*came

I know it seems childish, but that's just how it is. For me.

Lynxia Lost said...

I kinda feel the same Eve. You remember Callum, I don't want a re-run of that...

Eve the ROCK said...

Yeah, but Callum was kind of an ass :P No offense

Lynxia Lost said...

Call Callum whatever. I don't care if you hurt his feelings. Besides, he is an ass.

Nixion Strange said...

So, I can call Callum a giant mother f-

Hang on, sorry, droped phone. What was I saying?

-HB/Joe- said...

Something about how awesome I am.

Nixion Strange said...

Hey Hellboyio!

Eve the ROCK said...

*sulks* I knew someone was going to come here eventually. It's like waiting for death, I suppose.

Nixion Strange said...

Too slow
*blows head off*
I kid, I kid. I blew Eve's head off

-HB/Joe- said...

*pokes Luc back* Don't worry, I've done that before. I can't remember the exact price to travel around the world, but it was a lot more than I expected...

Nixion Strange said...

*grins evily*
Bull, I'm, as you can tell from the smile, evil.

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

i dont have KOTW youre lucky i have to wait 9 days

-HB/Joe- said...

:? Sorry, why's Eve being hurt?

Nixion Strange said...

Yep. It costs about 5000 bucks to get to England from where I am

Nixion Strange said...

Eve's fiiiiiiine. Aren't you Eve?

Luciana said...

*pokes HB again* You know, it might work out better to find a halfway point... :3

-HB/Joe- said...

Aight, aight...

Lynxia Lost said...

I'm okay Hellboy, I should finish KOTW but I'm putting the finishing paint on my gauntlets.

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

wait what age are u guys around

Nixion Strange said...

Me'd be 15

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

guys

Eve the ROCK said...

*is twitching on the ground*

-HB/Joe- said...

Sounds reasonable enough. Crap, now I have to bring up my inner map. This thing's so outdated...I don't even think Greenland's on it...

What about America? Canada? Brazil? Tbh, I don't really want to go somewhere in Asia. No, not racism. Just that some of the places are too hot for me.

Nixion Strange said...

Eve, I bet I can get you up in one comment. You're fine

-HB/Joe- said...

Gauntlets, Lynx? Nice.

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

what!!!!!!!

Eve the ROCK said...

I'm 12, turning 13 on the third Friday from now :)

Lynxia Lost said...

That's not a stalker question at all, Bull... *rolls eyes*

I'm 14.

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

im only 10!!!!

Lynxia Lost said...

They're cardboard, Hellboy, but yes, they're shiny and bronze-ish.

Nixion Strange said...

Well Bullio, be glad that I'm not mature

Luciana said...

America sounds good, to me! ^.^

I'm fifteen, sixteen in November.

-HB/Joe- said...

STOP READING SP.

TEN YEARS OLD? GO ON A BIKE. WATCH CARTOONS OR SOMETHING.

Lynxia Lost said...

You're not allowed to read KOTW until you're 11+ Bull.

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

im not a stalker i was just wonderin jeesh

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

loads of 10 year olds read sp

Nixion Strange said...

*frowns*
Luce is older than me? Learn something new on some days

-HB/Joe- said...

Jesus, how'd you even get here... there are people here that are so twisted... Gah, just save yourself from it all now, kid. Go on. And honestly. SP shouldn't even be available for your age.

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

thats a lie

Lynxia Lost said...

Yes, but the others are 9+ but the 7th is 11+. You should really check...

Nixion Strange said...

SP is 9+. So wait until you're nine Bull.

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

y shudent it be

-HB/Joe- said...

I wouldn't even say 11, Lynx. My little bro's 11, my cousin's 11. No way I would let them touch SP. It'd tear their minds apart.

12 is the absolute minimum, I'd say.

Luciana said...

*laughs* HB...*laughs even more*

Yes, Nix, I'm older than you. I thought everyone knew I was older than you, too...

Lynxia Lost said...

I only discovered SP when I was 12... I'd say it's not as bad as GONE but that's just me.

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

ok i am 10 but i read like ALOT and im awsome at english wen i was seven i read 9 + books and y dont u think 10 year olds shouldent read sp

-HB/Joe- said...

Because, Bull. To put it plainly- there is some bad stuff that goes on in SP. Stuff that shouldn't be read until your mind is a little more mature. You should read younger novels. Try Max Power, or something.

Nixion Strange said...

Okay, I'm going to start this work

Eve the ROCK said...

Jesus, guys! Why so responsible all of a sudden??? I watched movies that are for 15 year olds and over when I was nine!

Luciana said...

*laughs* I'm sorry, but I cannot take you seriously, HB.

You on chat, HB?

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

im sorry but youre all actin stupid

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

eve

Nixion Strange said...

Bullyboy, I can't be speakin for te others, but me be a jokin

Eve the ROCK said...

I'm not! I'm all for you readin SP, Bull :)

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

do u think 10 year olds should read sp

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

I AM 10

Lynxia Lost said...

I'm staying out of this because reading SP at 10 is better than what I did...

Luciana said...

I'm sorry, but I've not said anything that can be deemed stupid.

HB is just really responsible...

I don't appreciate you saying we're acting stupid...especially when our spelling, grammar, punctuation etc. isn't bad, unlike yours...

Eve the ROCK said...

I think it's perfectly fine for a ten year old to read Skulduggery Pleasant

Nixion Strange said...

And the ignoring still continues!
Read last comment Bull.
Learn to take a joke
Then go for a swim

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

OMG I THINK 15 IS TOO OLD FOR SP SO SHUT UP I LIKE READING THE BOOKS I THINK THERE FUNNY AND THERE RATED AS CHILDRENS BOOKS SO STOP ACTIN SHOCKED

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

YEE DONT LIKE ME VERY MUCH DO YEE

Nixion Strange said...

*rolls eyes*
I'm not even going to comment on anything because I already said I was joking

Lynxia Lost said...

Hey, bull, I made my aunt read SP and she's 44 and she liked it so 15 isn't too old so now you're saying stupid things!

Nixion Strange said...

Oi, let's not turn this into a bloody argument

-HB/Joe- said...

Listen, I have a younger cousin, Eve. Ten years old, maybe eleven. Plays video games that are 18 plus, watches any movie he damn well pleases, and yes, reads SP. Over the years, I have seen this kid grow up. He isn't nice, anymore. He has actually become twisted by the content he is exposed to. He swears, now. This kid was an angel, two years ago. And there's no restriction, no-one to tell him not to play those games, watch those shows, read those books. Now, compared to that, I have my little brother. My little brother is far from nice, but he is kept under a strict regime, game and movie wise. He keeps asking for SP and I keep saying no. Because he's brilliant, as he is now. Sure, as he's getting older, I can expose him to more media, but right now, he's still just a kid. He's growing up, but he's not being twisted like my cousin. And I'm glad for that.

-HB/Joe- said...

I'm sorry for having such a big opinion with this. I'll shut up now.

Luciana said...

Actually, they're classed as teen books...

So, uh, sorry but you made an error...

You're blaming all of us, though not all of us said anything.... *isnt making sense this morning and blames Hellboy*

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

ah here i came on this sight to meet more sp readers and now all yeer doin is givin out to me sayin i shouldent read it but its too late cus i read 6 of them

Nixion Strange said...

Bull, if you're going to keep arguing, at least don't blame us all

Luciana said...

*hugs Hellboy* You're still perfect, okay? :3

Lynxia Lost said...

For Christ's sake. I don't want another re-run of Dylan/Jasper/Felix so let us settle this. We can't stop him reading them so it's his choice to read them. I think it's good people read SP but they should know what they're in for so I'm done.

I have to go now guys. Bye. *shadow walks*

Nixion Strange said...

*throws up arms*
What the hell did I do?!

Nixion Strange said...

*beats head against wall*

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

thx alot guys now ive found out what people can turn into but im reading skulduggery and my grammer is great probly better than any of yours but when i type i use slang so i dont mind u can point fingers tell lies i no nixio was jokin but hellboy frankly isnt

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

u done nothin

Nixion Strange said...

Hellboy has an opinion. Respect it, but that doesn't mean you have to stop reading SP. Just accept that Hellboy thinks that 12 is a good age to read it. I'm not saying stop, just accept it, and we can all move on

-HB/Joe- said...

Damn right, I'm not joking.

Don't you feel affected by it? Of course you don't. You read it and you skim over it. It flies right over your 10 year old head. You don't understand any of it, you don't take it in. It's all just senseless violence to you, the good guys beating the bad guys. But you shouldn't be exposed to something as bad as this.

Book 2, Baron's head is crushed. Book 3, Bliss is turned inside out. Tanith gets tortured, Darquess lets her own eye be punctured, people are ripped apart by possessed school kids... It's just not... it's not for you. It's not for your age group.

Luciana said...

Bye, Lynx! *hugs*

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

i didnt mean too start an argument but people shouldent push me around now i have to go *transports by holding his bros arm

Nixion Strange said...

Hellboy!
Please. You've stated your opinion. Bull thinks different. Do either of you think that you have any chance of changing the others mind? You don't share the same view. Move on

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

shut up hell boy i take it in i read it i dont thinkits good guys and bad guys beating eache other im not an old person reading a childs book so take that hell boy take that

Luciana said...

HB, kotw spoiler...


*laughs* I understand you completely, my dear. :3

Nixion Strange said...

Just argue over my head...

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Lynxia!

...Okay. Look, Hellboy, Bull might be the same age as your cousin, but he's not the same. Not everyone is affected the same. And frankly, Bull can read whatever he wants. You can't shun him because you think it's wrong.

-HB/Joe- said...

Fine. He's gone now anyway.

Flame Phoenix said...

Why is there fighting...?

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

im sorry nixion but helboys after sayin that i dont take in skulduggery so thats a rude comment not an opinion

Nixion Strange said...

Because there is a small difference of opinion of what age is a good age to read SP

Eve the ROCK said...

And Bull, this wasn't an attack. Calm down and don't throw fuel in the fire

Nixion Strange said...

Bull, it's an opinion. As rude as you may find it, why do you care? It's not important to you, it's only important to you if you keep arguing

Hellboy, you're not going to change his mind. There's no point in the arguing, so please stop

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

yes phoinex whatever hell boy told me that because im 10 i dont take in skulduggery plesant and i dont read it propetrly

Nixion Strange said...

Bull, calm down. His opinion doesn't affect you. He doesn't know you, and by acting this way, you're not proving your point

Luciana said...

Flame~! *hugs*

Too many fiery personalities in Blogland are clashing... :/

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

he told me i wasnt able to read sp i read a skulduggery book in 2 days and remember every thing so mr hell boy never judge a book by its cover goodbye

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Phoenix!

-HB/Joe- said...

I'm done, I'm done. Opinions are being kept to myself.

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Bull! *waves*

Nixion Strange said...

Bull! Enough!
You want to prove that you can be mature enough to read SP? Then act mature. Don't make a petty argument into a fight.

Eve the ROCK said...

Hellboy, I don't think it was your opinion that got to him. You were treating him like he was five :/

Nixion Strange said...

Dinner
Bye!

Flame Phoenix said...

He means, quite frankly, by opinion, that because you're still young, you're being exposed to violence.

It's an opinion.

I have my opinions with kids being exposed to violence, like my 5 year old cousins allowed watch the dark knight,

It's not right.

I began reading SP when I was 11. And I was actually scared shitless when the guy came and attacked stephanie in chapter 5.
I stopped reading it, and a week later began again.

It doesn't mean you CANT read SP. But being of ten years old, you aren't in a way taking in the amount of violence.

Although, you could be doing worse.

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Nix!

Flame Phoenix said...

See ya, Nix.

Luciana said...

GUYS.

There's too much conflict in this world without is adding to it. Please can we just forget about it all? I come here to get away from the conflict...Yesterday I spent hours fighting with my mum and my brother. My brother attacked me, again, and I've got even more bruises. Not to mention the stress it all causes. If I don't watch it, I'll end up back in hospital...

Luciana said...

Cya, Nix. Sorry, Eve.

Luciana said...

Bye, Nix!

Eve the ROCK said...

See, that's the thing. You said you were freaked out when he attacked Stephanie, Phoenix. I wasn't. It didn't affect me like it affected you. Everyone is different, and if Bull loves the books, then it's obviously not affecting him.

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

guys....

Eve the ROCK said...

Luciana said...

Oooooh~

Dedications...

Flame Phoenix said...

Exactly. I'm not arguing. I was giving an example.


I'm not affected as much, anymore though.

It's probably because I'd been reading stuff like Horus Henry and The spiderwick chronicles before that.


*shrugs*

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Bull!

Flame Phoenix said...

*horrid

Eve the ROCK said...

Don't apologise to me, Hellboy. I was ten not long ago, and I can see it from Bull's side

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

thank u for standing up for me eve ure very kind

Eve the ROCK said...

Just trying to calm everyone down without screaming CALM DOWN!!!!

Is it working? :P

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

i cant beleive hell boy sed that imunable to read sp i am hes a baby reading a childs book

Luciana said...

DO I EVEN EXIST!?

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

im so sorry i started conflict i shouldnt have hell boy had his opinion i had mine

Eve the ROCK said...

Don't worry about that, Bull. You part of the family now :)

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

no n u dont lol

Eve the ROCK said...

I don't know, Luce. *pokes her* Does this hurt?

Flame Phoenix said...

Bull, insulting him isn't helping...

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

i g2g *grabs hld of his brothers arm and telaports* *gets back and cooks himself a hot dog using elemental fire*

Luciana said...

I asked you to all just stop it...

No-one listens to me, though...
