Fight Night

I just had to write and say how thankful i am for the free 1 year pass to the new Throwdown gym on state street. Apx...you really got me.
Today was opening day, and I am an official member now. Tresa and I went to watch the Affliction fight, and i signed up for 15$/month so i can get a one-on-one training session with the teacher of my choice. The girl who sold me said, "there are a few cute ones..." and she winked at me. i said, "are they cute and single?" she nodded. "done" was my last word, and i handed her my card. Soooo not only am i going to finally learn submission wrestling, i am going to learn it from a single, good-looking fighter. wow.
As for the fight, i finally got to see andrei arvloski, who tore up! and of course the Fedor/Sylvia fight was amazing!! basically the russians took over and spanked america tonight. (I don't want to give away anything just in case someone reading this plans on catching up with those fights later.) i am so impressed with the gym, and at one point, a guy came over, introduced himself, and was like, "umm...are you girls here by yourselves?" tresa answered, "yeah...she's the one who loves it. i just come with her," and he laughed. he was like, "wow, that's awesome - get more girls in here!" turns out he is the owner of the gym. I think i'm going to work out a deal where if i get some friends to come, i could get more free classes. :)

Afterwards, we went to chili's because we were both starving. as we were leaving, this boy was like, "hey, what are you guys doing right now?" i was a little leary as he was wearing sunglasses at 11 pm, but tresa answered, "we're going to see the rest of the silva fight" (there were 2 live fights on - affliction and ufc fight night) and he was like, "wow, i am so impressed...we're going to watch it at our house right now...will you 2 do us the honor of following us home and joining us?" so we did. and i'm glad because they had an awesome couch and a huge screen tv with good sound. boys know how to live it up with the entertainment centers, that's for sure. (Silva also tore up tonight, fyi).
Unfortunately...3 out of the 4 guys were drunk that we knew of, and absolute idiots. the one that kept hitting on tresa was funny at least, and gave me tons of tips about motorcycles. if he weren't drunk, we would have ridden his bullet bike i found in the garage...dang it. stupid stupid stupid.
Funny story for sure. I haven't gone home with a stranger before, but at age 21 i figured it was about time. the one kid slid down the banister, and then almost cried because of how painful it was. the other kid went upstairs and passed out on his bed, and i think the 4th kid was actually wearing his G's and went to his room. (he was also the driver. that's why i'm not sure he was all bad.)

Also, i am proud to say that most of my time at work today was spent playing dodgeball and "helping" my team lead Emily with some of her work so i didn't have to take calls. i love my job. love it.

so to wrap it up, tonight i was reminded of why i hate drunk people, love fighting, and LOVE Apx for giving me that membership. AWESOME.

And this picture (gotta have one per post, right?) is a reminder of why i want to move. this was at the singles dance we went to. some nerd got in our picture when we weren't looking, lol. oh well.
ps. notice ben's "it's morphan time" pose. i will miss him.
