Love at first Spike.

Hey there sports fans! I'm Rileigh Spencer and I really love playing Volleyball whether it its outdoors or indoors, I really don't care as long as I'm playing.

If you're anything like me, you understand the adrenaline rush that comes with the perfect spike in a game of volleyball. That rush is exactly what inspired me to start my journey in this sport, and why I believe in the concept of love at first spike.

I first started playing volleyball in elementary school, when I stumbled upon a pickup game on the beach in Anda. The players were all laughing and having a great time, diving for balls and smashing spikes over the net. I was instantly drawn to the fast pace of the game and the challenges it presented. Of course, at the time I had no idea just how much this sport would change my life.

It wasn't long before I joined a local club team, practicing several times a week and playing in weekend tournaments. I spent hours perfecting my serve, learning how to jump higher, and working on my reaction time. But beyond the technical skills, what really kept me coming back to the court was the sense of camaraderie I found with my teammates. We all had one goal in mind: to play our best and support each other along the way.

As I continued to play, I discovered a whole new level of mental toughness. Volleyball is a game of constant decision-making, and just one mistake can cost your team the point. The pressure can be intense, but it's also incredibly rewarding to dig deep and come out on top.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, I truly believe that anyone can fall in love with this sport. There's a reason it's so popular around the world- it's fast-paced, challenging, and oh so satisfying when you land that perfect spike. So get out there and give it a shot- who knows, you might just fall in love at first spike too!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer questions

Favorite female character :

Willow ! She clearly have one of the best character developement. She's cute, witty, though, a VERY powerful wicca and she's fruity 👀. I always loved her cute personality but became obsessed when I watched season 4 !

Favorite male character :

Spike. He's just the best vampire EVER ! With or without a soul, he's funny, cute, sexy, nice. He has been iconic since the first episode he appeared on and i've been obsessed from this time on. He has a really great storyline and is clearly one of the best characters.

Favorite season :

Season 3 ! I watched an insane amount of times. It comforts me so much, i always like the "last year of high school season" it's always so nice. There's plenty of amazing episodes and the final is so great !

Favorite episode :

Three are battling to have this place : Doppelgangland, Tabula Rasa and Once More with feeling. I'm a Willow stan so I obviously really enjoy Doppelgangland, i know all the dialogues by heart and LOVE vampire Willow. Tabula Rasa is combinaison of really sad and really funny and I just think it's one of the best episodes. Once More with feeling is just too iconic to not be here ! I love the songs so bad !!!

Favorite member of cast :

Charisma Carpenter and Tom Lenk are just the cutest. They always interract with their fans I love it !! (Yes i've been noticed by Charisma and by Tom recently so i'm screaming)

Favorite ship :

Tillow and Spuffy are on a tie tbh. Tillow was my first favorite sapphic couple, they're just too cute together, I wish Tara is not dead because they deserve happiness together. Spuffy grew on me because of my moots. I'm totally #TeamSpike !! They make such a powerful couple together I wish we'd had more cute moments like in season 5 and 7.

A character I'd die defending :

Cordelia and Dawn. Cordelia is so misunderstood, she's hilarious and really wants to be loved more than anything. That's why I love her so much in ATS (before the season 4 disaster) because we get to see how kind she is and not just the dumb popular mean girl ! I don't get the hate Dawn gets. She's a teenager acting like a normal teenager like Buffy did sometimes back in the first seasons. She's so adorable and as strong as her sister or any Scooby and I'd like people to stop hating on her.

A character I can't sympathize with :

Riley. I'm sorry but Riley was boring and kinda misogynist. He didn't really care about Buffy that much and was playing the victim "yeah but i'm not as special as you" ughhh

A character I grew up to love :

Faith, thanks to ATS. She was just so annoying back in season 3 but got better when she came back. She was honestly better as a villain in season 3 than as an ally. Also Angel, he was way nicer in ATS than in BTVS.

My anti-OTP :

Aside from Biley where clearly neither of them truly loved the other, I would say Fuffy. I'm gonna get hit by fans but I find Fuffy toxic if they were a real couple. I see the sexual tension, I clearly do, but they wouldn't have made a great couple. Oh yeah and obviously Kennedy and Willow, they weren't made for each other.

Spike: Knock knock, robot boy. Need you to look at my chip. Jonathan: Is that, like, British slang or something? Cause we're not- Spike: In my head, the chip in my head.

A comienzos de este año empecé a ver Cowboy Bebop . Recuerdo haber visto alguna escena haciendo zapping cuando era chica pero nada más que eso. No sé por qué se me dio por ver esta serie de sólo una temporada.

La sinopsis es simple y sencilla.Transcurre el año 2071. La tripulación de la nave Bebop, inicialmente compuesta por Spike Spiegel y Jet Black, que viaja por todo el sistema solar en busca de recompensas. A lo largo de sus aventuras se incorporan tres nuevos personajes: Faye Valentine, Ed y, la mascota, Ein.

Las referencias a peliculas y series de antaño,la musicalización impecable,las críticas a la sociedad y la visión de futuro de ese momento me llegaron mucho.

Ojalá la puedan ver. De verdad me pareció de esas joyitas que no tienen tanta promoción y son perfectas.

P.D: #TeamSpike

@garyspikeosullivan ・・・ I've said yes to fights with @danieljacobstko, @canelo and @gggboxing in the past few months, but none have come off for one reason or another. I believe that I'm with the best promoters in the world in @goldenboyboxing, and that with @packie.collins and @murphysboxing I have the best team in the buisness behind me. I have no doubt that I will become world champion. ☘👊 #CelticWarrior #teamspike 📸
