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.

HI TAIA!
I'm actually finding it hard to look forward to the episode because Ieni's phoning me straight after and I'm nervous. *laughs*
I have something smart to say when I answer though, so all is good. :)
It's not very smart, but I'm better than: Uh, hi . . . *awkward silence*
Hi Taia! How are you?
I haven't heard from her. Seeing as she's refusing contact, I'm assuming if I try my utmost best to get hold of her, I will fail. Therefore, I'm not trying my utmost best. :/
Oh right. It's just I don't like losing friends. (I don't think anybody does) So what should we talk about?
Hi Star! :)
Hi Rhydian! I'm Okay, thanks. And yourself? :)
Hm? I think we should have an extra day off in the mid-week. Like Wednesday. *nods*
I haven't heard from her Luciana, either. :/ ^^
I'm fine Taia. Wednesday sounds good
WE SO SHOULD.
We can talk about how it's blue, seeing as it's blue. Why is it blue? It's blue beacuse it's blue. It's just BLUE. Increidibly blue. Utterly blue. IT'S BLUE. :)
So many typos. *facepalm*
My fingers must have been overwhelmed at how blue it was.
Wouldn't it be cool to be like Clara? To die but come back in a different time and place. I think Moffat is mad because I would never have thought to kill the same person twice
Moffat is a GENIUS. :)
Like a Jenius, but more like a geni. :)
Blue..........
I thought of a brilliant companion idea. Should i tell you?
@Rhydian: That may be because one /usually/ stays dead, having been killed once already. :P
Moffat's good at what he does(and possibly mad, too. Not that that's a bad thing.).
Hiya, Fabi! :)
@Rhydian: Go for it. :) ^^
Hello Taia...
Hello Rhydian...
Hello Star...
So the Doctor meets a new person (Who later becomes hid companion) and they have adventures. And at the end of the series the Doctor regenerates into a baby. The companion puts a baby outside a house and the companion hides. When the door opens the companions parents' are there. (Past versions) What do you think? I told my sister and she was amazed that I was that clever
So basically the companion is the Doctor
Rhydian that is genius!
also Hi
Hi Maegan! Thanks!
. . . OHMYGOSH.
EMAIL MOFFAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *screams*
THATHASTOBEUSEDTHATHASTOBEUSEDTHATHASTOBEUSED!!!!!
HI FABI! :) :)
HI MAEGAN! :)
I like your new profile pic I have that on my phone
How do I e-mail Moffat? I wanted to do it a month ago but I don't know how
HI STAR! DID I TELL YOU ALL THAT I BROKE MY ARM!!!!!!!! YEAH I CLIMBED A TREE I HATE THEM BUT THEY GAVE HIS AIR SO THE WAY I'M GOING TO TELL THEM I HATE THEM IS TO RIP PAPER YEAH BEAT THAT TREE'S
Hi Star
Hi Maegan
STUPID CAST ON MY ARM!
Gah.
I've found a lyrics vid that is totally amaZayn, truly, flashing in time to the music and everything, but it has bad sound quality . . .
It's really liked in the comments, but . . . you do listen to music for how it sounds.
DO I USE IT OR NOT? D:
HI fabi
Star who are you talking to? Is there a person called gah? I'm not being mean I just wanted to know I'm so nosey sorry
I've got to go now. Tea's ready. I might be back after Doctor Who. BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bye! Rhydian
NOOOOOOOOOOOO DON'T KILL THE PLANET! *screams*
Sorry. Poor you! :( :( :( :( :(
At least it isn't your leg so you can still walk, huh? :)
Gah. Trees are EVIL.
I'm not afraid of heights but I am afraid of falling, so I never climb up trees very high as I'm scared of the consequences. :/
My friends have started trying to put their cans in the normal bins because they find it amusing when I yell about recycling and try to wrestle the cans off them. :P
Bye Rhydian.
Gah is an expression of annoyance.
What's the video?
*looks at cast* I hate you but I have to get used to you because we're going to be together for six weeks.... but I still hate you
@Maegan: I'm talking to the world in general. *nods*
'Gah' is a Starry expression of annoyance. Like argh. :)
Hey, agh is an anagram of gah. O_O
THAT MUST MEAN SOMETHING!
*can't be bothered to work out what*
Thanks fabi gah hmm...
I gah my cast on my arm
*offers Fabi a cookie* Are you okay?
@Rhydian: Awesome! :3
Hi Maegan!
@Star: Hm. :/
I don't use lyrics videos, for the most part, but I guess it depends which is most important, kinda? Can you find one that has a decent video AND sound quality?
It's a lyrics video for MFMV I'm collecting for my playlist. :/
DAMMIT GTG. D:
May bbl.
@Taia: Before I go - but I make playlists and on it I put the BEST lyrics vids. It is the best, but it has bad sound quality, so is it REALLY the best?
Dammit, really have to go. *leaves*
@Star my teacher thinks I can't write because I broke my right arm but I can because I broke it in a weird way but I can and thats why I'm typing.... but maybe if I tell her in a couple of weeks that I can write then because its healed a little hmm... yeah but then I'll feel guilty? Also thanks for telling me about gah star and fabi
Bye star I only looked at the posts now
Star, I don't know what, either, sorry.
Taia, um...not exactly? [Takes cookie] Thanks.
Hi Taia
Bye Star...
Hmm... paper I'm coming for you! It would be trees but they give us air so yeah paper in my room I'm coming for you! Anyone know where I can get a skulduggery poster I don't want to rip it but I'm just curious
I have to go, sorry, bye...
EUROVISION IF YOU LIVE SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE IRELAND VOTE FOR US though our government doesn't want it we do
Awh.
Bye Rhydian!
Bye Star!
@Maegan: Is there a way you can make your cast more amusing? Like, doodle odd little cats (Oh! Cast is an anagram of cats, too! :P), or write random stuff on it, or something? That way, when you look at it, you might be smiling or laughing or the like.
I think it's generally /other/ people who write on casts, if at all, but even so... :P
@Fabi: Awh. I hope, whatever it is, it becomes better very soon, then. ^^
Fabi bye! Everyone is leaving Taia are you still on
Oh you are
Aw, Bye Fabi! I hope you're feeling better soonly.
Yup, I'm still here, Maegan. I might be a little distant, though, because working. :)
Thanks Taia I might but its pretty packed with names. my friend was laughing when I told her what happened I laughed too but like she should be sad for me but noooo she has to laugh..... she wrote "Did you say sorry to the tree"
My friend is funny and always see's the funny side of stuff but when I do it she doesn't like it...... confusing
*nods* I know what you mean.
Still, at least you've got a lot of names on there, then. :)
*IS BACK*
The fact you don't knwo all about me and my lyrics vdding tells me I haven't been doing it NEARLY enough. :P
Welcome back, Star! :)
@Star: I suppose. But if the sound quality brings the overall video quality down, couldn't it come to equal with another, better-sound-but-worse-video video? (Replying to what you said before you left) ^^
@Taia: Yeah. :)
I just feel guilty to the person with the amazing, amazing, one of the best I've ever seen vid with terrible sound quality. :)
I'm sorry. I'm not used to not being ignored when I say stuff like this. :P
gtg bye my mum is giving me the stare also their making pitch perfect 2
:( FOURS MAEGAN!
@Star: Is including two out of the question, then? :P
I guess it comes down to whether the brilliant video is most important, in the playlist? Is the sound /really/ horrible, or is it just so-so?
@Maegan: Awh, Bye!
I mean, /unbearably/ terrible, or merely could-be-better terrible? ^^
Ugh. I have to go. SOrry. :/
Bye~
I can't include two beacuse they have to be all in order like you're listening to the album. *laughs*
And furthermore, the awesome vid doesn't have a seizure warning. It should do, because there is lots of flashing. :)
So I should probably not use it, because I think I have a duty to not give seizures to anyone who watches my playlist. :)
Thank you. :)
And, the sound is pretty bad. :P I like the song, so when listening to my playlist I know I'd just not listen to it. XD
:( FOURS!
Sorry, my mum distracted me. D:
But I just found another pretty damn jepic one with flashing and changing colours and and moving images, so. :)
There's not much longer so don't try and fiiiiight~
Msd. :(
Thanks, Taia... [hugs] I hope so, too.
My Fair Lady<3
What a movie:)
HI MARA! :)
Hey Star! :) *hugs*
[Sings]
I have often walked down this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you live
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of every door?
No it's just on the street where you live
You okay, Fabigail? *hugs*
Hello? :)
Why are there no Little Mix apps? :(
Why not? :)
Hi Maraness!
Ish? [hugs back]

:)
Oath by Cher Lloyd...
No, It's probably nothing...
I just read a post on 'A gift for the Golden God'. BEAUTIFUL. Who writes that blog...?
... Oh my God...
On Britain's Got Talent... Oh god<3 :'(
THE GUY WHO WROTE THIS SONG HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH ONE DIRECTION!
*isn't listening too hard*
*looks up*
One Direction? Huh?
The guy who wrote the last song on Eurovision had written for other people, including 1D:)
I already posted this, sorry...
I just read a post on 'A gift for the Golden God'. BEAUTIFUL. Who writes that blog...?
YAY FIRE! :)
Our old house had an open fire . . . :( *misses it*
HEY IENI YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ASKED ME IF I LIVED IN AN OLD MANSION????
Well, I used to live in half an old mansion! My old house is half of what was an old mansion and the other half is flats. So there were two rooms on every floor and four floors. :)
Luciana Clover Scáth. :) But there are more contributors, I think.
Star & Ieni - OMG COOOOL:)
Arra - Luci, Val (I think) and a few others.
Isn't is lots of different authors? It was probably Clover or something.
Omg, really? That's fairly jepic! I think my house used to be a shop.
Eurovision is so bad:/ I think the UK and Ireland are the only two countries who don't take it seriously. France used to do funny ones, but then they started to take it seriously too:/
But we had none of our dinging clocks in our old house . . .
We inherited one from my dad's mum (it's a proper tall grandfather clock), we bought the cuckoo clock for my dad and I'm not sure where we got the first one from.
They need winding up every day and stuff.
(I'm proud of our clocks, sorry XD)
Malta...um.
Oh, this one called 'Tomorrow' is good:)
Oh, yes, your clock that dinged 8 XD
HE SAID DIRECTION!
@Ieni: IKR. XD
Star - I KNOW I FREAKED AND DAD GROANED XD
And this 'What If' song is good too:)
It's so irritating when we're watching something and then you can't hear it because DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING . . . D:
It is good. :)
Hey, this one is so good at English - my mum things she's bilingual. :)
Russia, not bad....
Sorry I poofed!
[Scowls]
Its annoying, I want to share this with somebody! I mean, I showed Shai, but that doesn't really count 'cause she filmed most of it. :-/
BIG CONTRAST FROM LAST YEAR! XD
The Russian grannies? :P
Why can't you, Fabs? If you really want to..? :/
Cher Lloyd is actually pretty good:)
It's Germany! I'm going there in a month and a bit!:) Apparently, Bamberg is so pretty:)
Omg, the Russian grannies! Jepicness! XD
I did not like that song at ALL
