No, I’m Not Training FOR THE OLYMPICS – The Story of Registering for an Olympic Lifting Meet…
About DokiDara, Olympic Lifting, Real Life, Workout

Recently I’ve been kind of slinking around emotionally in my Olympic Lifting (oly) classes because my coach and I discussed me trying out an USAW meet in February of this year.

January 2014 Check-In
About DokiDara, Real Life, Workout

  Where to even begin with this check-in… It’s close to on time? That’s about the best thing I can say today. I took snaps of my scale yesterday and I haven’t even looked at the numbers yet. I honestly don’t want to. They’re sitting on my phone next to me and I’m dreading them. […]

November Check-In

I know. Epic fail. I missed a month AND this one is late. I’m so bad at this. In a way, I kind of wonder if that means that these numbers aren’t as important to me anymore? …that also might just be a slight excuse for not wanting to post them. ANYHOW Here we are […]

NekoLARP – Whaaat is that and WHY?!
About DokiDara, Real Life

I know, I know, it’s been a while. I’m sorry! October is always completely crazy for me because we’re gearing up hardcore for Nekocon. In the event that you’re somehow unfamiliar, Nekocon is the anime convention in Hampton Roads, VA, that I’ve been attending and staffing at for the past EIGHT YEARS. (o.m.g.) Yeah, that’s […]
