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...

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

Twit is what you meant. Twit is most definitely what you meant.

Eve the ROCK said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
Flame Phoenix said...

Ahahahaha Hellboy xD

Nixion Strange said...

He loves me. I got a brofist from him, 15 signed books, a mention in a post, him promising me to talk on the blog, him going to answer 14 of my questions here

Flame Phoenix said...

Then don't use them Nix!

Eli (Ulcabhán) Brave said...

im not a twit yee idiots or a twat see ya eve good luck withe these loozers

-HB/Joe- said...

See, now I'm considering taking back what I said about calling him stuff. Don't act like we're dogs, Bull. We'll be nice enough, but we don't need you to tell us that xD

Nixion Strange said...

*blinks*
Did you just tell me off?

Willow Storm said...

Nixion, I think both are in the dictionary, online and off.

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah, but all I can find is a clearing in a forest, and I don't think that's somehow an insult

Eve the ROCK said...

*smiles tightly and waves* Bye bye Bull!

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Willow!

-HB/Joe- said...

I don't even... We're not talking about this, anymore! Move on! New conversation!

Eve the ROCK said...

*snorts with laughter*

Willow Storm said...

Bye Bull

Eve the ROCK said...

To be fair, it can also just mean a stupid or obnoxious person

Luciana said...

*points to picture that HB sent me the other day and to every blogspeak from Derek* I guess he doesn't hate me...*grins*

Willow Storm said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
Nixion Strange said...

JEALOUSY LUCE!
*runs around jealous*

Flame Phoenix said...

Who, Nix? Me. Probably...

Just because you got a bro fist from him, signed books (whites he's supposed to do...) and him going to talk to you (he's talked to so many of us...) and him answering questions( why he does as it is...)

But, yeah, he loves you...

Nixion Strange said...

It's proper meaning is a clearing in a forest. Same as the proper meaning of b**ch is female dog. People give names to words that mean other things so really, I didn't insult him unless he took it as an insult

Willow Storm said...

Tumblr wont work. -_-

Nixion Strange said...

He loves all of us Flame

Flame Phoenix said...

*which is what he does at signings. *what

Flame Phoenix said...

In Ireland, it means a totally different thing, Nix.

Nixion Strange said...

He took it as an insult. Not my fault

-HB/Joe- said...

ehhh...ehhhh...opinions...in my head...wanting to be let free...in moderation...

Eve the ROCK said...

Means a totally different thing on Google too.... :P

Enough! I will not discuss vulgar words while I should be doing my homework!

*swirls cape and continues to scribble in book*

Luciana said...

My wall is covered in Blog mentions and blogspeaks from Derek to me...*grins*

Yay! ^-^

Nixion Strange said...

It's proper meaning, in the English dictionary, it clearing in a forest. Just because you use the word as something else in normal language doesn't make it a different meaning. It means you take it differently there

Flame Phoenix said...

Nixion, shut up.

Nixion Strange said...

Oh, go to hell

Luciana said...

GUYS.

BLOODY CONFLICT, AGAIN.

Eve the ROCK said...

Settle, Luce. It's probably a guy thing xD

*munches popcorn*

Flame Phoenix said...

You're none the wiser on why the hell he took offence so just leave it!

Willow Storm said...

*giggles*
I can remember the day I called someone a pansycake XD

Nixion Strange said...

No, I am. I just don't see how it's my fault that in Ireland you use it differently then in the dictionary

Willow Storm said...

The thing he took offence from, that's in the dictionary, too.

Eve the ROCK said...

What does that mean, Willow?

Nixion Strange said...

There it is. Right there, in the dictionary. What I thought it meant when I originally said it
A foolish person

-HB/Joe- said...

GAH OPINIONS ARE RELEASED:

NIX

A twat is an insult, a derogatory term because it means, in short, the genitalia of a female. Now- one of the silliest things I've heard a person say about insults is taking it by its proper meaning. For instance- I called this guy a bitch, or something. He took it literally, and adopted an air of smug superiority. But he wasn't superior, he didn't win the argument or counter the insult. He just looked like some idiot trying to appear nonchalant about the whole thing. You remind me a lot of this guy. Please. If I called you a twat, I don't want you to take it literally. I want you to fully understand the insult, just like every other person on this planet.

That being said, I'm not going to call you any vulgar words. Because this is Derek's. Sorry, Derek.

Crap, I haven't even dedicated yet. Maybe this can be a dedication. I dedicate to fair opinions, and I hope like hell that they can be expressed without too many clashes in the future. Especially here.

Willow Storm said...

Dauntless slang, from the book Divergent, by Veronica Roth.

Flame Phoenix said...

No ones blaming you for creating the word!

All I'm saying because he took offence to that version you're saying it's his fault for taking it as an insult.
In Ireland it's used as an insult.

Don't rant about things you don't know about, Nix.

Nixion Strange said...

One of the silliest things I've heard about insults is people using words in a different way then I meant them
That wouldn't be my fault

Luciana said...

Just about everywhere it's classed as an insult...


*hugs HB* I love your dedication. :3

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh, yeah, I've heard of that book.

Nixion Strange said...

Oh, seriously, shut up Flame.
You use it for an insult there. You also use bastard as an insult there, I hear. For me, bastard is everyday language, normally affectionate. I'm not saying it's his fault. I'm saying it's not my fault you use it as an insult

Eve the ROCK said...

Everything is a vulgar word nowadays. I long for the times when we could say something without people turning their heads in disgust :P

Willow Storm said...

I have to go. I don't think I'll be back soon. I'll have kill fly's again. I already feel like a murderer just thinking of it.

Flame Phoenix said...

Again, NO ONE IS BLAMING YOU FOR IT BEING USED AS AN INSULT!

Nixion Strange said...

You seem to be

Luciana said...

NIX.

SHUT THE F*CK UP.

You were wrong. Just f*cking accept it and move on! I don't give a f*ck how bad your life may be, you're just causing conflict here. GROW THE HELL UP! You're just p*ssing me off now and I get too much conflict with my brother.

Blogland is supposed to be peaceful, and recently you've been making things worse!

Flame Phoenix said...

Are you telling me to shut up?

Seriously.


Deflate your ego, Dragona junior.

I'm going now- bye.

*storms out seriously pissed off*

Luciana said...

*walks off quietly to try to calm down*

-HB/Joe- said...

Before things go further, I would like to state my allegiance. Luc, you're awesome.

That is all.

Nixion Strange said...

*grins*
And you know the best part? I'm done caring. I'm done being hurt by the insults I get here, or in my life. Last week, that sentence would have hurt me. I would be feeling both guilt and anger at the moment. Now I don't care in the slightest. I don't care about my life, here or anywhere, I don't care abut this argument. I don't care at all anymore

-HB/Joe- said...

Well, that's sad. Because a man with nothing to lose is the worst kind of tyrant. Rot in a hell far away from us, alright, Nix?

Drew O'Connor said...

WHOA WHOA WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everybody needs to calm the fuck down now!!!!!!!!!

Jesus lads, I leave for an hour or two and the place turns into a fucking battlefield.

If you have nowt nice to say to one another because your all stressed, emotions are running high or you just pissed off with the world.
Then all of ye shut the fuck up.

This is meant to be our SANCTUARY and your all turning it into No Man's land with your stupid comments and bitching.

Cut it out!!!!!!

Nixion Strange said...

Oh, I probably will Hellboy

Flame Phoenix said...

Well you know the fuck what, Nix?
So am I.
And that statement. Very statement was used by the prick god himself. So grow up and act like you used to. USED to be. Not some over ego god person.

Drew O'Connor said...

What did I just say???

SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!

And before you jump down my throat, I'm not on anyone's side.

The only person who I'm siding with is Derek and the fact that he has to sign in and read all this bollox.

Luciana said...

*laughs*

You know, Nix, I never cared about my life. I never cared about living. I still don't.

The only reason I am here is because I couldn't let myself watch others die, I have to help them.

I try to help people who need it. I try to be a better person.

I don't give a f*ck about anything other than helping those who need it the most.

But, right now, I only care about the people here in Blogland. Because they //are// my life.

Don't make a huge point about not caring about anything, because I've never cared. Don't make out that your life is worse than all of ours, because it's f*cking not!

I should be in hospital right now. Did you know that? But I refuse to go. Because I care more about you guys than I do myself.

There's a difference between you and I, you don't give a f*ck about anyone other than yourself. I just don't care about myself...

Sorry, sweetheart, but I stopped caring about you a long time ago. I'm not sure how many people actually care about you at the moment, actually...I mean, you've been causing conflict for a while now...

Flame Phoenix said...

Nix.

I'm sorry. I'm just annoyed at things in real life at the moment. And people acting like they're higher than others at the moment just pisses me off.

I'm sorry and I didnt mean most of this stuff I said. Sorry.

Nixion Strange said...

Oh god, why did you have to apologise? Why?

Flame Phoenix said...

Em, you weren't here when what happened with Dragona happened.

If you were your opinion would be different.

Drew O'Connor said...

Lu, cut it out now!!!

Your not the only one who should be sitting in hospital right now.

Fair play to you Flame for apologizing, it takes a man to do that.

Luciana said...

Feel free to call me a heartless bitch, or whatever you like.

I don't give a f*ck.

Nixion Strange said...

Why why why why why did you have to apologise?!
I was done feeling! For the first time in my life I was feeling free of guilt. I felt free.
Oh god, the fucking guilt. why why why why why why?

Flame Phoenix said...

Because, Nix.


I just had to. OK?

Eve the ROCK said...

I am the serene being....I have come to spread serenity throughout the land.... *smiles dreamily*

Nixion Strange said...

For the first time in my life, I was bloody free! I didn't have to worry, or care! Now the guilt is back. Oh god...

Lynxia Lost said...

Me back!!

Drew O'Connor said...

It doesn't matter whether I was here or not Flame.

The fact is I'm here now and the fighting and bickering is ridiculous.

Do you all think Derek loves seeing all this shite. If I was him, I would be disgusted at ye all.

Eve the ROCK said...

*grins* Ah, but Nix, guilt is what keeps us on the ground. Or you'd be a psychopath.

-HB/Joe- said...

Well, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say hi to Eve.

*hugs*

Eve the ROCK said...

Lynxia, just in time for more fighting! :D

Flame Phoenix said...

Yeah well I'm sorry Emerald!

OK?

Luciana said...

*shrugs* Something needed doing. Nix has been causing arguments for a long time and loads of my friends haven't been too happy with how he's been treating them.

I'm standing up for what I believe in.

I don't care what anyone says.

I'll say it- Nix, I fucking hate you, right now.

Nixion Strange said...

Oh god... what the hell was I doing?

Lynxia Lost said...

Yipee. *cheers sarcastically*

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Hellboy! *hugs* :)

Let's ALL hug.

*holds arms out for a hug*

Flame Phoenix said...

Sorry Guys.

*hugs Lynx and Eve*

Sorry, bout the fighting.

I'm leaving now.
Bye.

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Phoenix :)

Lynxia Lost said...

Bye Flame.

Nixion Strange said...

You just haaaad to apologise. You just had to make me somewhat or a human being
Normally I'd thank you, but now I'm just in pain
I was happy not caring. I was happy
*cries*

Luciana said...

Talk to you later, Flame! *hugs*

Eve the ROCK said...

Awwww, Nix, everyone's happy when they don't care, but we have to make up. *hug?*

Eve the ROCK said...

New Rule In Blogland:

No leaving right now until you hug the serene being :P

-HB/Joe- said...

Can't I just hug the "Leave your comment" text? Look at it. All alone.

Nixion Strange said...

What... what the hell just happened?

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

Oook Zaf woke up

Eve the ROCK said...

*looks at text* Awwwww :(

*gives it a hug*

Eve the ROCK said...

Well, Nix, it seems as though we were all possessed by siamese fighting fish :D

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Zafmira!

-HB/Joe- said...

Well

You were being pretty damn not awesome

and then we got pissed

and you got pissed

and then you said that nothing affected you

and then you kinda started whining and acting like it did affect you

therefore contradicting your previous statement out of context, vica vi, concordantly, ergo...

And now we're here.

Lynxia Lost said...

I'm out. See you around guys. Maybe...

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

Good morning! God do I hafta just explode Australia? Wait not til Derek leaves,

Luciana said...

*hugs HB* I love you so much.

*breathes*

Okay...

I'll calm down.

Not apologizing, though.

I stand by everything I said.

Nixion Strange said...

But... I don't even... what seriously, just happened? I don't... even remember properly.

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

Do I even wanna know what I missed? *shakes head*

-HB/Joe- said...

*hugs Luc* I love you too.

Nix, just...don't even, alright? You didn't black out, you do remember everything. Don't make it seem any different.

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh wow. Nix was possessed. :O

Flame Phoenix said...

Ok, another new rule:

No Fighting. at all. It's that word that means it's not needed...

And if someone gets a big ego, just tell them.

No fighting. You hear?


.

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Lynxia!

Nixion Strange said...

No, I didn't black out. I know I didn't. But I normally remember what's going through my head most of the time. But I can't even tell. What the fuck happened to me?

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

I was reading Mortal Coil....Nix did a remmenant possess you? Guys was Nix's viens black?

Eve the ROCK said...

METAPHORICALLY, Nix's veins were black...

Nixion Strange said...

I'm fucking serious. I wasn't "posssessed". I was just...

Eve the ROCK said...

Then I suppose you have what we might like calling 'Lord Vile Syndrome'

Luciana said...

*headwall*

I f*cking hate that.

If you're not lying, Nix, it's a condition.

A condition that I may have, myself. >.<

It's psychological.

My friend, Dan, has it.

He used to take his anger out by cutting or taking drugs...Now he's violent as well. He doesn't remember any of it.

Nix, I might have you, but I am going to be civil because, honestly, I am terrified of conflict. I am just so violent and so horrible because I know nothing but..

Luciana said...

hate*

See.

Anger is never a good thing for me...

Nixion Strange said...

I do remember, I just don't... know. I don't know anything that happened. I don't understand. I can always, always remember why I did something. But I don't even know why I...

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

Ok I think this is not something to wake up to

Flame Phoenix said...

OK. Nix. Listen.

Ive forgiven you. OK?

I'm going to forget everything that happened this morning.

Your not at fault by me, anymore.

Nixion Strange said...

I'm sorry
This shouldn't be your problem. I've got to go. Don't be surprised if you don't hear from me in a while

Cat said...

forgiving isnt forgetting.

Cat said...

Oh, Nixion...

Flame Phoenix said...

I know Cat. But I'm going to forget, because nix us my friend.

Cat said...

THat's okay. But I was more
of talking
to myself
becasue i dont want
to forget the
forgiving part.

Eve the ROCK said...

Nix, don't do that....

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Cat :)

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

Im watching THG xD

Cat said...

THG?

Eve the ROCK said...

The Hippo's Grin

Eve the ROCK said...

My mum is looking at these comments right now.

Everyone say, "HI EVE'S MUM!"

Eve the ROCK said...

Yeah, hi Mummy...

Flame Phoenix said...

HI EVE'S MUM!

Eve the ROCK said...

*grins and waves*

Flame Phoenix said...

*waves*

Eve the ROCK said...

We're not normally fighting, Mum! I swear!

Although im the only one who DOESN'T swear. :P

Flame Phoenix said...

This was the first time there was EVER a FIGHT!

Honest!

And she never curses.

She's like the best behaved person here!

Drew O'Connor said...

I do apologise for the swearing.

Willow Storm said...

Hello again!

Eve the ROCK said...

I know, im so good! *big smile*

Eve the ROCK said...

God forgives you, Memerald :P

Hi Willow!

Flame Phoenix said...

Me too.

Did I swear earlier? *wonders*

Flame Phoenix said...

I did once.

Ooops.

Eve the ROCK said...

Not much, Phoenix. Your soul is saved xD

Flame Phoenix said...

Sorry!

Flame Phoenix said...

Psssst, Eve, is your mum still looking? xD
