Okay, so you all know what a fan of Ronda Rousey I am. In Women's Mixed Martial Arts, she is the UFC champ. She is an astonishingly admirable lady, brimming with confidence and wit. Some people call her arrogant, but then some people call ME arrogant, and we all know that's not true. Well, it's sort of true. Okay, it's true, but why be humble and boring when you can be arrogant and entertaining?
I am enough of a fan, in fact, that I sought out her signed gloves and won them at auction. Here they are, beside a pair of boxing gloves owned by THE greatest martial artist, certainly in living memory, one Mister Bruce Lee.
On Twitter, I follow two people. Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano. The fact that both people are very pretty women who can fight is a complete coincidence, I assure you. It's because of Twitter, however, that I heard about a project that Ronda's mum and sister are behind— something called Spirt Lake: The Game.
Spirit Lake, essentially, combines adventure video gaming with learning maths (or, as you Americans say, math), in an effort to make learning fun. Originally developed with Native American students in mind, they've realised that the Dakota (Sioux) angle— incorporating historically accurate aspects of tribal life and culture— appeals to people and schools right across America. And you get to fire arrows! At wolves! While you learn to count! What's not to love??
And if this works like they hope it will, this could be the beginning of something huge. This could revolutionise teaching, and learning— not just in America but across the world— and it could be just the thing that's needed to help struggling students make that singular, all-important leap. This could change people's lives.
So I heard about this, and the Kickstarter campaign they were running to fund the next stage of development, and I figured I may as well send some money over to help them along. After all, the better kids do in school, the longer they stay in school, and the longer they stay in school, the more chance they have of stumbling across my books, right? Right.
As a reward for helping out, they have given me the chance to actually BECOME a character in this game. But I couldn't possibly accept. The fact is, I am amazing. I am awesome. If I were to make a cameo appearance in ANY game, I would make every other aspect of the game pale in comparison. And I couldn't do that to all their hard work. So I asked Ronda's mum if it'd be okay if I could hold a mini-competition HERE, not only for my Ameriminions but for ALL my Minions, and the winner of THAT would get the chance to become a character. If you win, the animators will create an avatar using your name and likeness and as if by magic— you will be INSIDE a video game.
It'll be like Tron only... y'know... you probably won't die.
Probably.
And even though the game is only planned for release in America (right now), the competition is open to anyone of any age and nationality. So here's what you have to do. You have to tell me why YOU would be the most awesome video game character EVER. Once we reach the 5000 comment limit and the Comments Section closes, I shall collect all the entries, stick the names in a hat, and randomly pick the winner.
And yes, entering more than once, with DIFFERENT reasons, gives you a better chance of winning.
There. Bet when you opened up this Blog today you had no idea this was coming at you.

So, you guys need a dimension portal, thingy

WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! I GOT IT!!!!!
*calls Clemy*
Huh! yeah! Jubi can get us out! Until then, I'll just start destroying tumbleweeds with this laser gun to try and find the dimension warping one, because you don't want to blow up the moon. *starts shooting tumbleweeds*
Yay! LASER GUNNNNNSSS
*shoots a passing zombie with the laser guns*
Yaaaay! Clemy!
Also a dimensional portal would be nice, thank you.
[takes laser gun] Okay... Let's hope I know how to use this thing!
*Clemy swoops in on a rainbow of happy magicness*
*hops on*
GO BACK TO BLOGLAND!!!!
Oh yeah and my pistol turned into a laser gun, so I got it from the floor of the bar! *sticks tongue out*
*Looks at lazer gun*
I'm good, I've got.....powers of my own

Huh! we're being saved! But I like my moon town. *hops on, sad*
*Lands in Blogland*
YES! I'M BACK!
although I'm really not here... so I was never not back in the first place
GUYS THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE GUNS WHERE DID THOSE ZOMBIES COME FROM???
*jumps on as well, hitting malfunctioning gun*
*Vanishes, appears back in blogland*
Much better, that place was odd
THE ZOMBIES ARE THE NATURAL INHABITANTS OF BLOGLAND AND THEY'RE NOW INVADING.
*stabs a zombie in the face with a pencil*
Lands in blogland. Sorry for breaking blogland guys... but we're back now. *turns around and sees wild west town, still there.* Huuuuuh! *is super happy*
*hugs ground of blogland*
I MISSED YOU!!! No more pocket dimensions for me.
Zombies?
But, they stopped the Apocalypse?
*Raises eyebrow in confusion*
*Inhabitants of wild west town start shooting zombies with cyberpunk laser revolvers.* I'm so happy... *shoots zombie* These guns are awesome!
*sees the town*
*sighs*
*shoots Edward with laser gun, turning him into a elephant.
*decides to live in wild west town.* Stay outta my town, zombies!
*Sees wild west town, chuckles*
Why Mary Bob Why? *Turns back into human* That's better. Hmmph.
*turns to Tyler*
The angels. They're falling.
*changes his gun into a pump-action laser shotgun*
*shoots a zombie in the face and it explodes with sparkles and bananas*
Edward: I liked you better as a elephant, I would have given you peanuts.
*gets hit by falling angel.* Ow! *Hides inside bar.* gtg. Will be back in five to ten minutes. :)
What?...
*changes setting on gun*
*shoots a zombie, turning it into a mouse.*

HARREH GIVE MEH A PIGGYBACK!
*Harry Styles appears out of nowhere* *jumps on back*
Harry: Oh my god it's her again.
Me: HI HARREH :')
Harry: ... Paul? Preston? Al? Anyone...?
Me: *squeezehugs*
Harry: TONI, IAN. PLEASE. SHE'S BACK.
Me: Aw. *pinches cheeks* Security can't save you now, love. BUT TELL PAULY I'MMA HIGGINATOR:3
Harry: I'm so scared.
*Stares awkwardly at Mary-Bob*
And I'm back in 3! Will go again soon. :( Still! Hello again!
*glares at Tyler*
Has thou seen finale?
Thou has not *shakes head in aprovel*
Huh! Guys! Guys! I've just found the best place to put all my bottles of blogland 2023! Oh Yeah! Tyler and Mary-Bob: I present to the, a bottle of blogland 2023! Well met indeed!
A bottle of blogland 2023?
*Raises eyebrow in confusion once again*
Anyway, back to the storage place, *shows cellar under the bar* I'm gonna own a bar maybe!
It's digital wine. A hello gift. I have a wheelbarrow with a neverending supply of it. Best wine of the century.
Ah...i get you now
Edward: What are you talking about....? *turns him into a mouse*
Tyler: ....I am so disappointed in you. I was expecting a waiting room crying buddy when I saw your username.
dragonasweapondatabase.blogspot.co.uk
A post about my favourite weapon EVER.
*buys bar from previous owner, then employs him to look after the bar* My bar is now officialy open! Even though it was open before... I live upstairs!
Yeah well.......You win some, you lose some (Not sure if that would make sense the but ah well...)
HARRYYYYYYY GIDDY UP! *points*
Harry: *huffs*
*becomes human again* Stop it!
*takes over his bar*
Personally I think I should be in charge of the drinks, not the person who broke blogland.
*sips wine*
*shudders*
*pours herself a gin and tonic*
*Watchs Harry and Mara go past*
Those two an item?
*becomes Cabader, just for the sake of it*
.... I seem to have missed quite a lot...
GUYS, COME ON. ARE ANY OF YOU DIRECTIONERS? *glares disapprovingly*
Do you even like One Direction, just a little?
*clears throat and doesn't answer*
I must depart my comrades.
The bar's mine now Edward.
*turns him into a turtle and cackles as she rides off into the sunset on her pet zombie elephant.
Tyler: It's complicated. So complicated.
*shoots Mary Bob* I only kinda broke blogland. It was really the tumble weed's fault! Honest!
*Twiddles thumbs in silence*
Maralie, nope. Not me. Sorry. ^^
YES WE ARE, TYLER! *cheers*
HARRALIE! *screams*
(MC)
Harry: What the f-
LANGUAGE YOUNG ONE. *covers Harry's mouth*
Puts a sign on the door, saying: No species changing laser guns allowed. All offenders will be shot with cyberpunk lazergun.
Bye Mary Bob! *waves*
*Sucks in cheeks to stop laughing*
I like Moments, WMYB, LWWY, Gotta Be You and the fact that they make Mara happy. They're not my style in general, though. Then again, Little Mix isn't technically the style I usually listen to either, and they are Perriefect, Jademirable, Jesypic and realLeigh-Annebeatable, so I guess "my style of music" doesn't mean that much.
Harralie! But yeah, it's complicated. They're fighting and he might be trying to kill her and death punched him in the face for it... So complicated...
*Fails, bursts out laughing*
*owns bar*
Harralie. :-)
Bye, Mary Bob!
Wbd/msd, deding still.
*cocks head*
Since I am Cabader... a laser gun will have no effect. So I can continue shooting zombies with laser guns and turn them into squirrels.
BEFORE YOU LEAVE ME TODAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY<3
*sobs*
It's like... a thing... A ONE THING. lnl.
:) *hugs Fabi*
Little Mix are Perriefect!~
Dragona: That's fine. Just not in here. This is a non-species changing gun zone!
Oh my, I haven't laughed that hard in..............forever
Harry. *warns* Put down the lazer gun.
Harry: But I want to join-
HARRY PUT IT DOWN BEFORE I KILL YOU OFF IN MC!
Harry: *irritibly puts it down*
Edward - You read my MC chapters? :) thank you. :)
Moments is just a really good song in my opinion.
[laughs] Whenever I see the words "one thing" I still think of that song my dad has always played in his car since forever... It's very different from 1D's One Thing, though.
[hugs Mara]
They are perfect in every way. :-)
Maralie: Yep, totally love them. One of my favourite storylines actually. It's great, in amongst all the war, fighting and magic, there's that, totally out of place, I love it.
*turns back into Dragona*
My class is also 1D, so I always get this flicker of: Are they talking about my school? whenever they're mentioned. Um, got to go, bye, the bar will be tended by the guy until I return in about ten minutes. Bye!
See you, Woody.
*hugs Fabi again*
:) It's really sad though :(
Omg. I have to hear that sometime XD
You just made me sing Beautiful by Christina Aguilera for five minutes XD
Edward - :') thank you, Woody.
i think I'd be good in a video game because I could send a surprise attack of sloths at people when they least suspected it.
OKAY
NOW I MUST NEEDS BE HERE
AND WRITE MC CHAPTERS
BECAUSE
GAH
NOT WRITTEN IN A LONG
L O N G
TIME
dragonasweapondatabase.blogspot.co.uk
Please check out this blog. :)
Hey, Char! :) *hugs*
[hugs Mara] it's easier to relate to sad songs than, like, "I wanna partaaaaaayyyyyy!!!" songs. For me, anyway.
I will look up who it's by next time he plays it. (i.e. next time he drives me anywhere)
[hums Beautiful] That is also a good song. [nods]
HI CHARISMA!!!! [tacklehugs]
*Leaps of Mara and Fabi*
GREETINGS
How are we all?
I HAVE TWO SNAKE-SIZED SPACE SUITS!!!
Also I am SO close to done with the names for the name project- OMG
In other words, I am good, you?
Pretty hyper c:
I BLAME ONE DIRECTION 2014 TOUR. *points at poster*
And the 1D3D movie, and the upcoming book, and their new DVD... *starts naming off random stuff*
I'm kind of collapsing under revision, but other than that I'm good!
Going paintballing tomorrow! Eeeeeee!
......*Sits quietly in bar*
Revision -.-
IRISH REVISION IS SO POINTLESSSSSSS
Ooh, paintballing! :) have fun, Char!
*appears*
My sloth senses are tingling.
Who mentioned sloths?
:P
And I'm back! I don't have sloth senses but I do have an Admiral Akbar sense. In fact, it's tingling right now... *throws self on floor and machine guns fire through walls, creating little shafts of light all across the room.* Works every time...
My jazz dance class is now composed of:
Directioners: ||||||||
People who like one or more 1D songs, but are not obsessed with the band: |||||
Tabitha: |
Hello Taia!
Have fun paintballing, Char!
JUST POSTED AN MC CHAPTER
NO CLUE WHERE I'M TAKING THIS
BUT I LIKE IT
AND I THINK HIDDLES IS VITARIUS.
YEP.
GO LOOK, MY SLOTH ARMY.
Please, I'd really like feedback! :D
I shall look! brb
I am back from reading the awesome chapter!
Still very ery distant, though!
Sorry, I just feel like saying this:
It's been an absolute pleasure meeting and talking to you all.
Hello?
.........
Edward, why would you say that...?
Oh, sorry I poofed. There was another MC chapter I hadn't read yet...
Brb.
New MC:)
OK, blood crazed cultists to build and paint! Good to talk to you all! Bye!
Um...Woody...Er...
I read and commented on it, Mara.
I'm not that great sometimes at what is entirely appropriate! I'm sorry to everyone I've offended and weirded out and I feel really awkward right now so yeah. Sorry, it wasn't a good judgement of the situation, here I'll delete it.
Alright, now I really do need to make these cultists. So um, bye. Sorry.
Back. What did Edward say?
Bye Woody.
Wb Dragona.
Sorry, I'm not going to say. Comments are deleted for a reason. If Woody wants to tell you, he can, but I won't, if that makes any sense.
Ah... Was it bad?
Zaf, Star, Fabi, Jubi, Ari and Death, I emailed you:)
http://dragonasweapondatabase.blogspot.co.uk
Msd after this point, crappy wifi -.-
Okay, so I was going to try to finish the name project, but I really don't like deding the page when we've already move onto the next one, so here goes:
I dedicate this page to random weirdness.
Tumbleweed
Skip slap roll
Breeze flop
Sandals squish
Sand and rocks
And mud water
Cold mountain
Sleddddddddd
Cocoa powder
Milk and sugar
Whisk it up
Wheeeeeeeee
Warm fuzzier
Bunny slippers
Cats and kittens
Frolicking in a
Meadow with
Ninja aeroplanes.
Uh... Interpret that bit as you will. It definitely included a partial ded to Missy and Ieni, though. I can tell you that much. Probably some other people, too. One of them's you.
And I also dedicate this page to everyone who's been so supportive of my various projects, the video deds, the Bloglandian name thing, the original name art I did before the Bloglandian name thing was what it was, my MC chapters, the other stories and poems I used to write before my account went 313450031330. Thanks so much for giving me the encouragement to continue with all my random ideas and being generally awesome.
Also to Mara and 1D. Because Harralie. And Haney, whichever. Also to Little Mix. PERRIEFECT
And I am aware that this ded is rather odd. Yeah, it is, cool.
Nice ded. Especially the part with ninja aeroplanes.
Thanks. I have to leave sometime in the next few minutes, so I might and probably will disappear without warning.
Well, besides this warning.
http://dragonasweapondatabase.blogspot.co.uk
Please people read and comment. I'd like some feedback.
*hugs*
Thanks, Fabi:)
YOU'RE PERRIEFECT, REALLEIGH-ANNEBEATABLE, JADEMIRABLE AND JESYPIC:)
Cheese.
Bubble Bafta x3
I have to goo now. Night guys! Please check out the blog I've made.

Hello?
Hey, Ais:)
Hi Mara
I spent 3 hours at a soccer match today cause my brother was playing for about 10 minutes at half time. Not fun!!!
Very msd
Gtg night *waves*
Well I was in for absolutely ages there 6 whole minutes!!!!
That's annoying :P
It was lashing rain today, and we were meant to have a sports day in school x3
It was so funny though, seeing my mean principal run around the pitch and getting drenched... XD
Bye, Ais! *hugs* :(
Another reason why I should be in a video game:
I would be very easy to animate, easier than other minions anyway. That would save the developers and animators a bit of money, which would make the game cheaper, which means that more people can buy it, which means Kids will be a lot smarter, which means yolo/swaggers will eventually die out and the world will be a better place!
Another reason I'd be a good video game character.... I'm lucid. But I'm not sure about that.... and I'm a ninja... aaaanndd I like to burn stuff.... annnnnnnnnnnnnd... uuuummmm... I'm very unexpecte-e-ed...... annnndd...DRAGONBALLZ!
*cackles*
Hm
AUSSIE NIXON!!!!
