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...

(Greetings, Elleni. How are you?)

Emerald Melody said...

I am so old it is ridiculous.
No, actually my doctor said that the back pain is caused by my depression so another thing I've to deal with.

YAY!! -_-

Anyway, have you bought my book yet Trip and if not, then why not?

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Oh Em, is your book good for 13 year-olds?

John said...

The entire reason I wanted this distance was to get over you, and I guess I finally have.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Bugger off is such a strong term. I prefer "Please remove yourself from the premises."
*sits on the edge of the bed*
*begins unbuttoning waistcoat*
Thank you very much for looking after the Hotel. It is a kindness that will not be forgotten, I can assure you.

Now, as you so eloquently put it, bugger off. I need to change.

Chione Asahina said...

Thanks for clearing that up.
I'm sorry that I bloody well care enough to let you go. You told me if I cared I wouldn't tell anyone you were solus, didn't you?
And what the hell was that for? all of it was for nothing, wasn't it?!
You wanted me to leave you alone. You said you had to find someone who had the same feelings for you as you DID for me. Well good luck. I'm allowing you to move on, I deleted you out of my life, I left the blog. WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Where does one do such a thing, and if so what should I expect from your expertly crafted thriller?

(How are ye, Elleni?)

Chione Asahina said...

That makes one of us, John...
Aria's right. You need to spend more time with your family. You shouldn't distance yourself from them. You shouldn't be lonely. Like me.
*Fades*

(*laughs*
*grabs her boots from the foot of the bed*
Good to have my arch nemesis back.
*pulls a lavender scented candle from a small bag, putting it somewhere safe and lighting it*
Sleep well Clara.
*exits, quietly closing the door behind her*)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Guysh.

Come on guysh.

You were both hurt.

But really, you still care about eachother.

So come on.

Is it really worth this?

Guysh?

John said...

Don't give me that crap, you've said time and time again you don't love me. Hell you even said you never have.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@John ever heard of a white lie? A lie intended to do good? Yeah..)

Chione Asahina said...

I'm sorry guys *smiles* This was the only place we could "talk"
Have a nice night...

The Grave of a Coward said...

*the door clicks shut*

*laughs softly and shakes her head*
It is good to see you as well, Silente.

*finishes stripping*
*folds the clothes neatly and stacks them beside the wardrobe*

*gets into bed, burying self in posh pillows and silky blankets*

*and falls*
*gently*
*to sleep*

Emerald Melody said...

You can buys it on the Amazon, it is called Dublin Daes.

And I would say probably 12+ Duggs.

Well you can expect a mix between Derek Landy and Darren Shan plus a little bit of my humor thrown in. Oh and one hell of a bad guy!

Oh great!! I'll try to get it then!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*slides down the banister*
*dusts the lobby and anywhere else that she missed*
*leaves the guest book, fully booked, on the desk*
*polishes the golden chair*
*makes sure everything is perfect for her*
*smiles, sitting in the lobby to keep guard*)

Chione Asahina said...

Of course I did...but you're right, I don't love you anymore. That doesn't mean I don't care. That..I don't want you back.
God I never should have come on. What must everyone think of me, starting a ruckus like this?
Well...I must be going...Goodnight John.
Everyone *nods*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Who Trip killed.

Just saying, if you guys read it.

Trip ripped him in half.

Trip ripped him in half.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Is it just me that feels kinda...sick right now?)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Bye Gem..)

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I must depart.
*departs*)

Emerald Melody said...

I prefer my Deacon in the book, rather than the Blogland one, the one on the blog was more of a let loose whereas the one in the book is... the pure version of him.

Anyway, any and all buys are welcome and appreciated if you can :)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((Farethewell, dearest Clara.))

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

I wonder if I can convince my parents to get it for me..

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Bye Clara.
Is there a ship between Clara and Silente?)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

You two were not made to be together, that much is rather clear, but that's okay, because that clears the path for Blip. But you're still friends. You still have all this shared experience. And you can be friends from anywhere.

There can be planets separating you, but so long as you can communicate, there's nothing stopping you. Nothing except your anger, anger that you can just let go.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Aria No.. (yes) no such ship exists. Nor shall it ever.)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

(Bye Clara.)

(Nope, Ariadne. That's breakup fallout.)

Yes, but Trip still ripped him in half.

He was in two pieces. On the floor.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I heard that.)

The Grave of a Coward said...

(There is no ship betwixt us.
No canon ship, at any rate.
I have no doubt the Fangirls have quite a lot of fanfiction written up.)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Yes, Clarente. Both Clara and Silente deny it but it's definitely there!

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(I don't ever want a boyfriend if that's what happens. Yesh.)

The Grave of a Coward said...

(SPEAK NOT, DUGGLYN, YOU DO NOT KNOW OF WHAT YOU SPEAK.
*claps hand over Dugglyn's mouth*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Clarente?)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*nods*
No such ship exists. It is merely a delusion.)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

There are fireworks going off right now XD



Mfh!
*struggles*

The Grave of a Coward said...

(There is no ship.
It is all an illusion.
A fantasy, born of twisted minds.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Of convoluted disillusion.)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Mhmm. I ship it.
God I'm like Rhydian. I ship everything.)

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Innumerable poetical sonnets could be written about how much Clarente does not exist.)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

(I, luckily, do not swing either way. My pendulum sits firmly still, and I do not feel compelled into puny mortal relationships. So I must agree with you there, don't fancy a boyfriend myself, really.)

John said...

(Don't get yourself scared over what happened to Chione and I, Aria... Just don't get too attached to any one person.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Spinsters tell tales around camp fires of the ship that doth not sail.)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Fangirls: there is a ship!
It's the best one ever! And totally real, see how they're denying it?!
*squeals*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*THROWS PAPERCLIPS AND SEEDS AT THE FANGIRLS*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(*Nods* But that's what I said about family, John. I mean it.)

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Clarente is like a majestic beast that brave fangirls devote their lives to seeking, only to discover that it was only myth and legend, and no such half-vampire girl and half-posh girl creature exists.)

Emerald Melody said...

It's not always that bad, relationships.

It's just people change, develop different needs and sometimes the relationship just can't survive it.
It happens, but nothing to worry over or let consume.
You grieve what you once had, accept it was a part of you and make peace so you can both live the life that doesn't think you're ready to settle down yet.

As I said, it happens and sometimes its not all that bad.

John said...

(You must have a really great family...)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*pauses and nods*
Clara's simile wins.)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

(Yes Em, my sister likes to say "Don't write off romance" and then I say "Um, I don't think you get it." But whatever, she's happy.)

The Grave of a Coward said...

(*curtsies with a flourish, if that is possible*
Thank-you-kindly.
*departs*
*for real, this time*)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Farethewell Clara dearest. Until next time.)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

(Blip, on the other hand is closer to a duck billed platypus: peculiar, but perfectly real.)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(*sighs* They're alright. They do piss me off some times. I sat and watched divergent with my parents. My brother and I watched Turbo. I should spend more time with him too. He's always upstairs on his games console and I never come out of my room.
I just wish he would grow up sooner...so we can become closer...he's too immature right now and doesn't notice when I try and be sentimental...
*Shrugs* Siblings are like that. Especially younger ones.)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

(Goodbye!)

Emerald Melody said...

I was lucky enough to find someone after I lost Chase.
I thought I wouldn't love again but I did.

But as Trip said, Blake and Chione, even though there are bitter, love feelings. You guys were friends before you became a couple and that friendship, no matter what else happens, is far more important to maintain than anything else.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Bought it Em!!! I can't wait!!

John said...

(BLIP IS NOT REAL. IT'S NEVER BEEN REAL. IT'S NEVER GONNA BE REAL.)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Younger siblings -_-

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

BLIP IS THE BEST!!! ALL HAIL BLIP!!!!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I have an older brother and a younger one. At least my younger one was planned...my parents were lonely after my older brother left the house.
