Haha :ghi5: girly Hi5 for being a schizoid like me. I also have this super masculine aggressive personality, love sports cars and soccer and beer, but I also love bows, pink, dresses, frills and bling! I must be a gay man born in a woman's body :laugh:


I know right? I hate that.
haha I do like being a walking oxymoron because my "look" is girly so whenever I'm on a date or been seeing someone for a few weeks i'll let it slip that I do martial arts...and that ahem...i'm a black belt.

the reactions guys give me is anything from wow! can you show me a kick!? to ummm I just remembered...I need to leave now... LOL
 
Wow, that's a beautiful ring! I love the setting and the stone is just gorgeous!
thanks nc.girl :D


Wow, were we separated at birth? LOL...I'm the same way; rather tomboyish with my hobbies but still love hair/makeup/clothes/etc.

The purple spinel is a gorgeous shade! Congrats!
thanks Pond it's keeping me entertained, but distracted! its always changing with the lighting
 
^^ tee hee, I'm the same way. I may look girly, and fragile, but I've done Ironmans & have always worked in male dominated fields. I think this is why we like the girly things - it's the yin to our yang :yes:

:laugh: For real? Like guys walked away because you like martial arts? My dream is to learn Kendo one day! I just love to hit ppl with sticks!:smile1:

Yes I believe it is a balance, yin to yang. It makes sense.


How is the Spinel's cut called?

oh ya! it's happened more then once lol. for example I was out with some friends at a UFC fight in toronto a few weeks back. my friend brought along some of his friends. so the once friend was trying to "teach" me all about UFC as we are watching the fight. I didn't say a thing at first about me doing karate or anything else. as soon as I mentioned the fact that I'm trained he literally got up and walked away!! :laugh: i'm used to it and find it very entertaining! obviously I need a guy who is very secure, he obviously was not!

Favorite quote of the day "I just like to hit people with sticks" LMAO!!
I also do weapons in karate and jung fu- tonfa, sai, nunchuku, bo, jo, sword :D if you like hitting people with sticks you should try tonfa!

i'm not sure what the cut is, It's not a great cut because its native cut which is done this way to hold as much weight as possible and the stone is a tiny bit shallow its dimensions are 10.5 x 10mm with a depth of 5.3mm. stone is also what I call a roval its not quite round and a touch oval. if this cut was on a diamond it would look horrible but the colour of the spinel hides any of the cutting issues i think....

What a story! Honestly what made him think that at some point you'd have to you use your karate abilities on him? Chicken.

Tonfa looks interesting, but I also like the outfit that comes with kendo :laugh:.



The gem looks fantastic, i bet it gives different shades of purple and pink depending on the light...:tup:

haha the kendo outfits are nice, actually they wear pants like a karate gi under their skirts, those skirts slip on over top and are used because it hides your legs and confuses your opponents for which direction and throw you are going for. and they're just fabulous of course :p
I do okinawan goju karate and its not very fancy in the outfit department its a white gi ( outfit) and a cotton belt, until you get to black belt then you get a nice silk black belt with gold writing all over it- thats the only fancy part of my outfit lol. have you seen kung fu outfits? those are fun! bright silk outfits, almost like pjs!
