1. HAHAHA WE WON!! Well okay it's not really a surprise but still this is my club's fourth consecutive victory, if we win it next year, we get to keep this beauty and they'll get a new one done! (anyway we did a mark on it with keys hehe)
This would mean my sensei would be able to use it as his official codpiece for the rest of his life!
Right where it belongs, with all of us, at the pub and someone's packet of tabacco in the background!
I can't believe we ended up at the pub on sunday night in London...
2. There was something like 700 people, very awesome...
Sit-up extravaganza!
3. I had the best time ever and I think I've entered a new sphere of Jitsu, I actually got up to train on sunday moning after the massive party! The day before that I was practicing some throws which I'm not supposed to know with a higher belt who is supposed to know them and a dan (those are the top dudes) sent someone to tell the guy with who I was trainning to stop humiliating himself!
4. My two senseis told me respectively that I went "apeshit" during my fights and "turned into a complete psychopath". Nothing could make me happier than them saying that to me. Simply because while I fought, there wasn't an inch of my body not involved in the fight, I fought till the last second and my only thoughts were destroy (well, almost). Someone could have torn my arm off or fired a gun, I think I would have kept on fighting. Haha this girl from my club came to tell me I was making unearthly noises! Clearly it must have been arousing to watch!
5.So I had two fights which lasted the full time and had to be decided on referee's decision. This rocks because I only lost by "kits" both times which I don't really consider loosing because it's basically who pretty much had the advantage and no official holds were put on me... Anyway all I really wanted to do was fight so I'm quite happy!
Pictures of my epic final battle:
Jesus, didn't think they'd be so feisty in the lowest weight category there...
6.What really blowed though was having to fight one of my best friends from my club for the first match, we are a complete match when it comes to strength and it was a really hard fight... It's just not the same as fighting someone you don't care to hurt.
7.Someone got cement poisonning in front of our hotel saturday night though which was kind of a weird feeling... Not really pleasant to see blood everywhere in front of the entrance...
8.The party themed on Heroes and Villains was very cool though two of us were meant to dress up as vampires and the super cool fangs we bought didn't stick...mmmm. It was pretty cool though to see 40 year old black belts dressed up as ninja turtles and stuff like that... This awesome black belt from London was dressed up as batman, it was hilarious!
Me with his costume and my cool friend whom I fought!
9.One of my clubs on the mat
and off the mat
10.Watching the top people in the hierarchy fight, that, was a lot more impressive than our pouncing around...
11.I have now upped the number of bruises on my body to about 15, a special shoutout to all who contributed!
12.The people I'll be adressing my thanks to for my fantastic weekend in Birmingham (in no particular order) even if they most likely won't be reading them:
*Shanka (for giving/lending me the means to come here)
*Lea (for rocking and getting the gold)
*Hayzel (for helping me sleep elsewhere than the pavement and being awesome in general)
*Suraj (for organizing all this)
*Konrad (for teaching that cool green belt stuff to me)
*Alex (for being a dude and my main "daddy")
*Adrien (for that sweetass trainning on the udi garame)
*The whole UCL and QM crew for kicking some major asses!
*James (for being THE dude, surviving your insane saturday night and hearing my music and stuff)
*Martin (for letting me iriminage and tsui komi goshi you so many times)
*Diane(because she's awesome)
*Adam (because I claim posession of you!)
*Fiona (for trainning and refusing to blend in with me haha)
*Sean (for having this special nipple bond with me)
*Superman James (for being a pleasurable person to have in front of me at dinner)
*Emily (because you rock, have the carmex and had a great elevator anecdote)
*Andie (for the awesome Xena costume)
*The fantastic breakfest at the hotel (I stuffed my face endlessly)
*Whoever the hell was dressed in that full body Winnie the pooh suit...
*Matt from archway for trying to pick up three (or more?) of us in the space of 3 hours (or less?)
*The senseis for being such fantastic teachers
*The sho-dan (or whatever) for being inaudible
*Everyone who lined up on both days and made me think "waaaahhh" oh so many people...
**VERY special thanks go out to Dan and Liene for having James go around desperately looking for someone to call you guys to ask you to stop shagging each other senseless before competing and having him say: "One does have hobbies but..."
*Tons of other people for making my weekend pleasurable...
Things I will NOT thank:
*The lighting in the dojo which gave way to the worst pictures I've ever taken.
*The mats that scalped my feet and forced me to stay home for the next few days
*The expensive vampire teeth which didn't stick
*The high heels which killed my feet
*The cold Birmingham night
*The guy who threw himself off the roof
*The people who stepped on my feet repeatedly on saturday night
*The Indian food for taking so long to arrive
*Everyone at QM for NOT following the vampire theme and showing up with no costume whatsoever
*The girl who repeatedly bitchslapped me during trainning on sunday morning for the enter the dragon stuff
PS: I will be answering all your awesome comments on my previous entry tomorrow! thanks!

I love it. I'm adopting that as my quote of the day.
BTW, I love your tattoo idea - I love Barbara Hepworth. I suggested on your hip, with your hip dimple being the space in the middle. Now your question has me inspired to work on more tattoo designs. Thx!
