Jeepers

18 April 2007 by kristarella

Not so big 21

11 April 2007 by kristarella

So, yesterday was my 21st birthday. I’m not really sure what to say about it. It was a non-event, moderately disappointing, it’s lucky that I was looking forward to my party on Saturday and not the actual day of my birthday. I suppose it was partly my fault because I forgot to do my Proteins […]

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
