I’m post-whoring my own log tonight…
She’s been bugging me for a few weeks about what I want for Christmas (she’s not supporting the PL by purchasing my belt or shoes… biatch…) and I kept saying I didn’t know. So out of nowhere, I tell her I want a pearl necklace (they looked super cute in the flyer). She replies “Courtney, that is something I cannot personally give to you, nor would I want to. Find a boyfriend and ask him if you really want one. But never, ever, tell me about your sexual escapades again.”
[/quote]
Jesus. It took me a minute but when I dialed it in I spit on my monitor. My mom wouldn’t even know what a pearl necklace is. I could do with one myself.
I’m not sure what it is about the Christmas season, but every year around this time I get a little more violent and want to punch people and/or run away and hide in a dark hole.
Case in point: my kitchenette at work has a stereo going with Christmas carols on. While warming up my lunch today I got the overwhelming urge to start throwing everything on the floor and start breaking things. It actually made me really anxious and kind of scared. Weird, I know.
Hahaha that is so funny Courtney! I am not sure if my Mom is that up to date or not… but she is definitely not afraid to talk about sex with me which freaks me out! I said something about getting a massage one time and feeling a muscle release and she was like, “Really? Was it like… an orgasm?”
“Umm… MOM! I don’t EVER want to imagine that you even KNOW what an ORGASM is!!! Thank you… end of discussion!” Oh yeah, she said it in front of my bf too… he thought it was hilarious!
Oh yeah, and my Dad told my sister she needed to get laid to “loosen up a bit”… he meant to stop being so uptight… but either way it’s just GROSS!

I blame it on the fact that I have 18 and 19 year old brothers who are very open to us about anything sex related. Most of it is just talk (or at least I hope it is). As a result my mom and I know more than I think either of us would if they weren’t around…
Edit: As an example, about 2 years ago I was in the car with my mom, the older of the two boys and my now ex-bf. My brother was talking about how he didn’t like condoms, but my mother told him to wrap it or it would turn green and fall off. My brother then said to my bf “I guess she doesn’t know that if you put rubbing alcohol on it after it kills everything anyways”. (he was kidding for the record)
That is a conversation I wish I was never a part of and I think my ex will remember for the rest of his life.

I think Court has heard that a few times!
In fact, I think I told her the other day![/quote]
Yeah I’m a bit uptight and yeah I need to get laid. Thanks for pointing it out Todd…you’re the bestest friend a girl could ever ask for.
PS. Nice avatar. It really brings out the distortions in your face well

That’s what friends are for. They really have your best interests at heart. Now a true blue friend would send the guy-for-hire to your door so you don’t have to go out trolling.
Is that really Todd in his avatar? If so, impressive.

She loves trolling. She does quite a bit of it at the gym when she’s not giving evil death glares to the mass huddle of post-pubescent boys trying to get HYOOOGE and JACKED and RIPPED and SHREDDED (all at the same on a steady diet of Mr.Sub and Molson Canadian).
I am impressed. However, you have to tell us about the camouflage. Is that for when you go on semi-naked maneuvers? I really can’t see you blending into the scenery in it unless you held a twig or something in one hand.

No twigs. Just a branch.
In all seriousness, the event was a Halloween themed event so my routine was to a mix of Kanye West’s ‘Jesus Walks’ and the Killers ‘All these things that I have done’. Both songs have soldier overtones, thus the camouflage.
I also wear the same outfit when doing curls in the squat rack so Courtney can’t see me.
So it was a quick and quiet session today. Ouroboro was around for bench, then it was just me and two of the guys. I’m 7 weeks out, so I was talking to my coach today about my plan for that time. I’m backing off my bench which means i won’t get to hit 110 on Sunday lol
Squat I’m just going to have fun while I’m away in Cali next week and likely just do Bartl’s leg day with him. Other option is to do some light 3 sets of 5. And deadlift I’m just doing 3x5s as well trying to get back up after not really being able to DL for a few weeks.
I guess this is the boring part of PL… going from heavy to light as hell…oh well, I will suck it up.
Funny story for the evening: While the last young kid was finishing up (he’s 16), he was talking about how he used to work at Zellers and on his second shift he was in the women’s bra and panty section. I asked a few questions about whether or not he tried them on and which style he liked best. He blushed hahaha.

With that awesome haircut he’s sporting maybe he had them on his head.
Did everyone miss us? I find it sometimes easier to focus with fewer people but not as good in a way. When you have a mix that you are used to, it’s noticeable when someone isn’t there to fill their role. I don’t mean role as in Pete dresses us. I mean personality role in the group.

Yeah last night was definitely weird. It was super quiet and everyone was squatting light and wanted to get out of there so we did our shit and left. Case in point: I was home by 8:15.
No offence to you or the kid, but I’ve found that Pete is really the ‘glue guy’ in the group. You and I always have fun since we share equipment, but Pete is really the guy that bridges the gap between our bench/squat rack and the boys’ bench/rack. Last night Matt was still quiet and awkward and, well, new haircut boy is/was just a little weird lol.
I don’t think it helped that when Bill and I were talking I was getting cranky at how much he wants me to pull back. Bartl gave me shit after and basically told me to suck it up, so suck it up I have!

PS. What do I need to bring for Ottawa?[/quote]
I know that Pete is the glue guy. I wonder if he knows that. I’m never sure where to stand or what to do when he’s away. I’m so glad he’s coming to Ottawa too.
Matt takes a while to warm up but I find him funny as hell. He is so quiet and polite and then he’ll say something totally fucked up like when he was talking about throwing Snickers bars in front of a bus to kill some guy he hates.
For Ottawa, I’m bringing all my gear plus food and overnight clothes. As gay as it sounds, I’m making sure I have enough to eat because I don’t know what will be at the meet. I would just make sure you have comfortable clothes and food.
I got an email, we can check our weight the night before. It’s not an official weigh in but for anyone that wants to, the official scale will be there.
I’m at the hotel in Ottawa with Ouroboro. After driving for 5.5 hours, my legs felt like complete junk. So, I decided to get some feeling in them (temporarily) and do a BW routine in the shit-tastic ‘fitness center’ at the hotel.
8 per leg of:
Forward lunge w/ hamstring stretch
Lateral lunge w/ drop step lunge
Reverse lunge w/ reach around
Single leg glute bridges - 20 per leg
2 minutes each of:
Mountain climbers
Pushup/plank variations (by the end it was essentially just a plank hold haha)
1 minute each leg of:
Bulgarian Split Squats (back leg elevated)
Lunges
Then to get the breathing up even more:
24 BW Squats
24 BW Lunges
24 BW Jump Lunges
12 BW Jump Squats
I didn’t get the last squats 12 in. My legs actually gave out on me and I sat on my ass for a few minutes. By the time I got back to our room after only 30 minutes I was panting like crazy and fell onto my bed. O didn’t seem concerned that I might die…
Nice early wake up tomorrow, so bedtime for now. Her weigh-in is at 7 so I plan on dropping her off at the location then hitting up a Tim Horton’s for some caffeine.

I’m watching her type this as I watch Dazed and Confused on Much Music while I lie in bed
I guess I wasn’t all that concerned about her dying. We were kind of concerned about whether she’d find her missing knife in her bed.
I had a really weird, kind of up, very down day at the gym today. I realized afterwards that I probably lifted a few thousand pounds yesterday with all the loading and unloading I did in the warm up room yesterday.
Anyways, I benched and hit a new PR then started to squat and fucked up my back pretty bad.
As I was pushing up on my fourth rep I felt someting give in my back. It didn’t feel good at all. In fact I felt like puking. I did some walking around after but now I’m still in pain. I already had an early morning appt with my chiro/ART god tomorrow so despite the fact I feel like shit, I plan on being fixed before 8:30am tomorrow.
I leave for California on Wednesday morning and am training Fri, Sat, Mon with Bartl so my back HAS to feel better.

Congratulations on the bench PR. That’s good news.
You’re right about all the lifting you did yesterday. Nevermind hanging off buddies back getting his shirt on for him.
I’m sure Aras will get you sorted out very quickly. He’s a magician.[/quote]
My fingers hurt from random dude’s shirt. I actually feel worse for his nipples cuz I’m pretty sure I scratched him a few times.
I just checked the list for Niagara and it’s pretty much guaranteed that we’ll have a full flight of women which will be awesome. There are only 6 spots left, Diana’s entry clearly hasn’t reached them yet but I expect it should be there Monday. Once Diana’s gets in there will be 10 women. The lowest weight class of men has 4 lifters, so it makes sense that they would throw all the women into one.
With the exception of the 48kg class (Sue) and the 75kg class (the woman that was helping Lisa from Defining Strength), each class will have at least 2 women (with O’s class having 4). It should be a good, fun meet.
I hope it’s nothing serious with your back Court. You still have lots of time to before the meet to heal.
I sent my entry express mail, so it should be cleared today. It’s nice to see a few M1 lifters and it looks like it will be a great meet.
Have fun in Cali!
lol
