What? Did not, you just need to be patient, all good things come with time.
And hopefully over and over again :)[/quote]
multiples multiple times. is that redundant?
nasty on the bug crap. Hope that blows over soon.
As for flirting with everyone - I’m French; we are born that way. If you learn proper boundaries it makes people feel good. If someone looks particularly tasty I say it in my mind because it will reflect on my face and gestures. A smile, a look a hand placed on the arm. Its very sublte but effective.
Of course you could go the Jersey route:
How ya doin wink wink ass grab
Hoola Patches! Hey you should get one of the glowey ones in the dark with some psytrance music, make a vid for us.
Maybe I will follow you around and attempt to flirt with all the dudes you’ve warmed up with your flirting skillzz
Felt way better by last night! After the meeting I went out to drinks with guys from work. It was nice, hocky and atwater vanilla porter. Who doesn’t love a dark beer and elegant violence?

It did, maybe it was just something I ate, I felt better by the evening. Thanks!
Oh, I bet you’re a great flirt. Am I crossing boundaries? I’m way dirtier than on here then I’d ever actually be (well with strangers, I’m bad with friends). I prefer your method in real life, a lot of times, when I want someone to approach I just think about sex and look at them. It usually works. I’m much more subtle in real life, there’s just no body language on the interwebz. I just haven’t felt sexy in a while, and the subtle stems from that. Here’s I’m just stoking the fire, which you’re more then welcome to come help with. thinking about sexy time, looking at frenchie ass

I don’t think you need me to warm them up, you’ll do fine on your own, but you’re welcome to come double team anyone I visit.
Man am I late to the party. Not even fashionably, i’m afraid!
Beer looks nom! You look nom!
Glad your’e feeling better!
Yay multiquoting! Is impressed… My new phone has me posting like half a retard lately.
*pic related
Instead of hitting the gym yesterday I shoveled my parents driveway. We got about a foot of snow, and it made more sense to shovel then go to the gym and do cardio. Shoveling may be the best ab work out there.
Today…
I ROLLED!!
So much fun. I’ll break it down tomorrow in more detail, but it’s just what I needed. It knocked the blue right out of me. Squeezed maybe? I left elated, and now am exhausted and bruised and whole.

As long as it takes pictures, it’s a-ok.
Hey Patches. Ok I know I have lots of making up to do, so here’s a start…
Ya know I’ve been out of it, didn’t even realise this was a brand new log
Sunday: BJJ!!! Holy Long Post Batman!
I’ve been off lately, and so I sought out some mat based therapy. I’m so glad I did. I found a Clark Gracie school just over an hour away. Granted the instructor is a blue belt, but he kicked my ass, and the guys were great so I think I’ll stick to it. I can manage an hour drive on Sundays. Once a week isn’t going to do anything stellar for my game, but at least it’ll keep stuff fresh in my mind. And you know smashing and being smashed feels great.
There were probably 15 guys there. There were two guys in charge, both blue belts. I was the only other blue, but they had a few 4 stripe white belts. One of the blue belts ran the warm up. We ran, did all the normal running drills, high knees, skipping, etc. Then we ran a few laps backwards, which was a bit new. I sometimes do 2 min backward on the treadmill for the ankle, but this was the first time I’ve seen it in a warm up. Then some mat based warm up drills. We did some shrimping, reverse shrimp, the wiggly ab one that Saulo loves and is so hard, then a new one to me. It’s was sideways rolling over your shoulder, so to mimic an inverted guard. I didn’t get it at first. I rolled over my face! Such a newb mistake. I asked the instructor to break it down though, and I got it. He was really cool about it, which I loved!
We only did two moves in class. I think Sunday classes everywhere are low key. First foot sweeps. Damn. I wanted to be all impressive as the only blue belt and they start with stand up, something I totally suck at? We mostly just worked on recognizing when to take it, and where and how to hit the foot/ankle. It was actually pretty awkward, but I didn’t realize it was awkward because of me until the end of drilling it. I went with one of the blue belt instructors, because you know I’m a girl and have cooties.
He’d sweep me and it would get weird, until I realized it was because I was being a girl rather than a BJJ player. He’d sweep and was kinda doing a weird dip thing. Perfectly normal if a guy dips you when you’re dancing, really weird if he’s doing a BJJ takedown. Lol. He didn’t say anything though, and I didn’t get it until I tried to make it harder and not let him take me down.
Next we did a weird gi lapel choke/ neck crank. I’m not about to incorporate neck cranks into my game, not cool bro, so I drilled it, but didn’t absorb it. It’s good to know what other people could do to you, so I paid attention, but I didn’t absorb details.
Then we rolled! Five 5 min rounds. Fucking awesome! My first roll was with the blue belt that lead warm ups. I just closed my eyes and it went so smoothly it was like I had never left. He’s a strong guy, but didn’t muscle anything, pure technique and easy movement. We rolled the whole 5 min at a pretty fast pace. It was awesome, neither one of us gave up anything, but we didn’t just lay there stagnant. I will drive and hour on Sundays just to roll with this kid.
Rolled with the blue belt instructor next. He was like trying to stay on one of the swiss balls. I stayed on top for the first 2 min, and he just kept trying to elevate and sweep me. It was all just getting the right part of me heavy so he couldn’t sweep. Felt good. Then I kinda spaced and he swept and I ended up on bottom with him standing. And I blanked. Tried a bit of de la riva, but that’s not really something I got to work on that much.
I kinda just wanted to stand, but then it would have been weird. I need to work on not getting passed when he’s standing over me. I also did some weird stuff in the bottom of side control. I don’t know what was going on, I almost let him have my arm. But then I did get the gullitione position. I didn’t take it though, it’s weird to tap the instrucor on the first day. He may also have just been giving it to me.
Next I rolled with a 4 stripe white belt. I was feeling a little more me. We started on the knees, I did a bit of an arm drag he turtled, so I just took his back. I worked on getting an RNC for a while, but after a minute he couldn’t get me off his back, and I wasn’t going to tap him (more first day weirdness) so I let go. Well I let go into a Bow choke, I put enough pressure to let him know I could tap him if I wanted to, I couldn’t roll with no soul crushing at all!
Then let go of the loop choke and let him recover guard. I spent some time getting used to being in closed guard again, but before I could think about opening him he did on his own. I keep doing something odd with my right shin and people are hooking it so I can’t pass. I ended up on top of him in half guard for a while. Then time was up. Bro was impressed, it felt good.
Then two brand new white belt matches. I just played, let them do shit. One did catch me snoozing though, I left my arm by his neck in side control and so he just picked it up and did a simple hold my forearm push on my elbow arm bar. It’s what I get for underestimating a newb.
I was wiped by then so spent the last two rolls just watching kids. I think I have a handle on who to avoid an who to roll with now. I’m going back for sure next week if schedule allows. Yippee!!
I’m super bruised today. I’ve gotten soft! Drilling the foot sweep he kept grabbing my shoulder and weighting it so I’ve got a lovely bruise.

Your contribution has been noted. Thank you.
Apparently it’s new log time? I just found you in O35. Just don’t forget us over here!
Totally forgot to finish my oversharing saga. Tax guy sent me a text on Saturday, this is after not hearing from him all week: “Hey, I don’t really think dating will work out for us, but do you want to be my training buddy? I think we’d lift well together then we can play racquetball.”
So, I’ve been friend zoned! Having an occasional spotter and someone to teach me racquetball isn’t too bad. Though I am going to crush his soul in the weight room and on the courts.
hilarious bjj story LMFAO. Big tough fighter bois… Gentle with our peaches.
Shouldn’t a dip always be followed by a kiss? Meh, what do I know… Not much about bjj ORdancing.
Here is a chart semi relevant to tax guy.
New log!? How did I miss this? I’m following, BAMF!
ps love the relationship diagram ^ zat is perfect!
I didn’t understand a lot of the BJJ story, but I’m happy to hear you’ll be starting that up again, sounds like an awesome time!! And you seem to come alive talking about it, so it’s obviously a good thing.
And AH! Tax guy. Maybe he’ll have hot-non douchey-tax friends.
LOL, i didn’t understand much of it either, but it sure sounds like you were busy and enjoyed yourself! Good job!
Tax guy, PFFT, weren’t you going to friend zone him anyway? I thought the majority of us voted against him…
I wouldn’t mind a non douchey gym buddy to spot me and such, that sounds like a good deal actually.
Nice place you have here Peach … all you need is some good beer and you’re all set haha
Sorry I’m late! In for da flirtz!
M:
AM
Oh man, I forgot how much BJJ hurts the next day. My arms are sore from trying to keep people from stealing them and my ribs kill just from the pressure. Feels good man. So this morning I just did a bit of incline walking, nothing major. Then I stretched and rolled and spent quality time with my LX ball.
PM:
CW D3
Warm up
1 mile run - I could not find a jump rope! So I ran, same difference right?
BSS 15lb KB 5x6 reps each leg
Push ups off Bench - 4x6 1x6
Why the weird break? When I walked back to the bench after my in between laps, there was a group of guys waiting. Oh fun, I put on a face displaying the number of fucks I give and go to do my push ups. As I start I get a tap on the shoulder and …
Dude: What’s your native language?
Me: English
Dude: No I mean what do you speak?
Me: Dude, English
Dude: But you look so exotic (whole time his friends are standing there smiling at how sucky his game is)
Me: Bro, I was born here, I speak English.
Dude: But where do you come from?
Me: Look dude, I was born here, I grew up in Michigan. My parents are originally from India.
Dude: But you look so exotic
At this point his friends start making airplane crashing noises, and actually laughing. Which made him finally see that this was going poorly and an approach based on me being ‘exotic’ wasn’t going to work. He said some other words and his friends tried to save face, but finally they wandered away. It was the weirdest open I’ve encountered in a while. I’ve gotten “What are you?” before, but they usually walk away when they see it’s not working. Dude had a lot of trouble getting that I spoke English, even though I sound super white and called him Bro a bunch. smh
RDLs 145x5x6
I find that I keep shrugging and resetting at the top mis set. I think I just have to find a grove still. What’s the ideal foot width?
Raises at various angles 2 lbs x4x25
Overall, felt good, Bro’s made it weird for a bit but I decided to not give a fuck so that passed quickly.
