Great news! You know how I said I planned to get involved in one of these fighting rings like Marshall's in order to gain money for the new bedroom? Well, I've finally got signed up for one!
The person in charge of the arena is this woman named Xtreme (well, that's her stage name - I bet her real name's something like Ethel or Mildred or Gladys), and she's got this goth biker vibe to herself. Loads of black makeup and tattoos and piercings all over her skin. Odd codename and edgy sense of fashion aside, she was surprisingly friendly when I turned up to sign up for the upcoming fights today. She praised my own outfit and said how awesome it was that I was willing to sign up with such enthusiasm. Apparently, most people who take part see it as just something to do when waiting for a "better deal" (whatever that means).
She gave me a good tour of the place too. Sure, it's nowhere near as big as Marshall's arena, but it's still pretty flash and it has all of these different settings and traps that can be applied to mix things up if the fight's going stale. I'm always up for a bit of a challenge myself so I'm A-okay with sawblades and flame guns if it makes things more interesting. Oh, and for bonus points, Xtreme gave me a bag of popcorn once we finished the tour. Talk about a prize! You'd think at this point, it wouldn't matter.
My first match is expected to start at the end of this month, so I'm crossing my fingers that it goes well!
As if this wasn't good enough news, my friends and I have come to an agreement, and we're going to start a milkshake business together! I'll be in charge obviously, but the others can help make the milkshakes and sell them to people on the street. Lottie could be an influencer of some sort - she's always into promoting stuff on her vlogs so maybe she can do the same here?
I haven't told my parents about any of this yet. I'm sure they won't mind though. And I'm sure Grandma will also be cool with it. The fighting ring part that is. I mean, fighting runs in our family, so it makes sense that I'm going this route. Wonder if any of them will turn up to watch me though?
