John Shaft has some 'splaining to do!!!

funkyfemme · 10-07-2011, 08:11 AM

Someone once called me a funky chick and I kinda liked it. I'm kinda rough around the edges and have a potty mouth....not really a lady in any way. LOL I have spikey hair and have an age inappropriate love of Chucks (I have all the colors they make).

Anyhoo.....that's how I became FunkyFemme.

Scrappy L'il Southpaw · 10-07-2011, 09:17 AM

It was my first time in a Women's Boxing Fitness class (huminahumina). I'm a very quiet person, low key person until I'm comfortable around you. Plus, people meet me and seem to think I'm some kind of soft, weak, pushover. Until they try to push me in a way I am not going to go.

This is a true boxing class, not aerobic choreographed kick boxing. We jumped rope, did all the drills on the mat, and punched bags before we climbed into the boxing ring. Then the instructor gave us punch patterns and called us into the center randomly one by one. She'd change it up sometimes when you got there and you just followed. After my first time in she was already calling me southpaw, which didn't bother me. It's true. I consistently had strong solid punches. But once, I threw a hook that had her shaking her hand, she started calling me Scrappy Little Southpaw (I was also one of the shorter women in the class). I LOVED it. I use Scrappy on my softball shirt as well.

I think it fits me well!

Stupid crank shafts anyway.

Back when I had a car, the crank shaft broke in HALF randomly one day.

I'm happy to say mine's never broken.

Now you're just talking dirty.

little_ms_sunshyne · 10-07-2011, 11:20 AM

I smile all the time...if Im sick, mad, sad, tired Im smiling anyway. When I have a bad day, you will find me cheering someone else up. I bake goodies to make people smile! So one day, this lady we will call her "negative nelly" was annoyed by my good mood and sarcastically said "Well arent you Little Miss Sunshine" it cracked me up so I took it!

Kätzchen is German for "Kitten"

It's a nick name a dear friend in Berlin gave to me years ago.

I'm not very creative when it comes to screen names. Cara is my given name. It's a family name and I adore it. I'm a seventh generation Cara. In Irish it means, "friend" and in Italian it means, "beloved." I've chosen to not capitalize my name because I identify as submissive. Sometimes I also get lazy and don't use capitols. Especially when I'm reading/typing from my phone.

A slang term from the Jersey Shore.

CockyDude · 10-16-2011, 05:44 PM

Cocky comes from confidence, strength, and vast understanding of that wonderful creature known as Her, Woman, Babygirl, Lover. She is to be protected, supported, led, taught, indulged and fulfilled to capacity. Her smiles, be them from pleasure or pain, are our responsibility. Not everyone can handle that; it takes a certain attitude, posture, dynamic. Those that don't possess those traits don't deserve that type of woman & she'd never be happy with less.

moxie · 10-16-2011, 10:13 PM

Mine came from the riot grrrl movement of the early 90s. I DJ'ed at the college radio station and we played a lot of the music. I am a quiet,shy and reserved person and my friends joked that I was the total opposite of all our friends and colleagues, plus I was straight edge, so they called me puregrrl and it stuck.

EmpressM · 10-16-2011, 11:34 PM

Mine is actually a wink at my given name, which means lady of royalty and begins with M. It's also a very unique name that many often struggle to pronounce. I once had a supervisor that couldn't pronounce it, so he nicknamed me Empress and it just stuck and evolved. leFemme because I am very much a lady and a girly-girl!

Dominique · 10-17-2011, 09:46 AM

Yellow band= LiveSTRONG. It's about the promise I made to myself a decade ago, to clean up the way I was going through life. I wear the yellow band, with the words liveSTRONG facing towards me, to remind me,
that is a forever promise!
