The much anticipated Halloween Party 2014 took place last Friday. I freakin LOVE Halloween as it's a good chance to get dressed up in something weird and outrageous and decorate the flat in awesome, gory tat. This year I went for a classic Beetlejuice and I have to say I think I did a good job on the ol' makeup. :-) A good night was had by all, although it finished fairly early due to a lot of people driving and/or working the next day. The only downside was being very poorly that night thanks to someone untrained in the art of making whiskey mixers virtually poisoning me with a quadruple strength Southern Comfort and Coke. And maybe me for drinking it... but that's by the by.
The last two days of this week have been spent on some Personal Safety Training and I have to say, after my partner and I getting recognition for being the best two students of the course, it's given me a hankering to get back to the gym and build up more strength. I thoroughly loved my course and have hopefully picked up some safety tips should I ever get attacked both in and out of my job. I love that size doesn't come into it, and that you can quite easily defend yourself no matter how teeny you are. It makes me want to box, and get stronger so I can really take people by surprise. Comments of the day today were: "God you are really quite strong" and "You're really aggressive for a tiddly person". Yeah man. That is all I want... to be stronger than I actually appear. I'm never going to be really strong and I don't have the commitment and dedication to be super fit either, but as long as I can be stronger than I appear... I'm happy.
All in all, a brilliant two days. I did get a liiiiiiiittle bit of a crush on one of the trainers, who was a trained fighter. I just love the spikey movements and the speed of their skills. I'm a sucker for it.
It's done me good. I went straight to the gym after my course finished today so chuffed with that too. I'm going to try my best to go at least 2/3 times a week and get back into the swing of it, as the last few weeks have been pretty slack due to being totally shattered from work and a few other stressful situations which I don't have the energy to go into now. I feel better tonight than I have this week... before today I felt drained, tired and fed up so beating the shit out of people seems to be a really good pick me up. :)
