Pink belt

In class today I had to wear the special belt reserved for people who forget their belts at home. It's pink with two embroidered flowers, with "I forgot my belt" written on it in black marker.

I have never been prouder to wear a belt. Seriously. I'm considering "forgetting" my belt all the time now, just so I can wear the pink belt. The only problem is, there's another guy who wants to wear the pink belt, too, so we're in competition for it. But the other guy volunteered to dye one of his old white belts pink, so it may work out afterall.

I make that belt look good.

  • But if he doesn't embroider flowers on it, it won't be the same.

    Or you could dye a belt and embroider, oh, say--squids on it, or something....

  • I don't think squids would quite cut it. The important thing is to embrace that which is seen as girly. One of the best martial artists I ever sparred was a 13-year-old girl white belt who was able to kick me in the head repeatedly with little effort.

    Maybe butterflies or unicorns ...
