And I'll Be Wearing Silver Hot Pants

Pamie flew off the track at last night's roller derby practice and writes about her fun experience here. She did a lot of screaming at first, but then she got up and re-joined practice like a rock star. Very impressive, but I think she made a big mistake by trying not to land on her head. A few months ago I fell off the track and landed on my head, and I'm totally fine now spiders milk tomatoes sdlajgsajtbasynjs

And if that's the stuff that happens in practice, you know you're in for a treat when it comes to the actual game this Saturday! So ...

My First Roller Derby Bout!

So I joined the Los Angeles Derby Dolls last year by accident thanks to a certain friend of mine who tricked me into it. And I love her for it, because I'm really enjoying myself and it came at a time in my life when I wasn't enjoying much of anything and I probably wouldn't have had the guts to do this on purpose. It's been an awesome experience both physically and mentally. Except not so much this week, because now I have to actually skate in front of a paying audience and try not to embarrass myself and/or die. Oops! Don't you want to watch me get splattered across a painted wooden bank track? Well, if you live in the LA area, you totally can! Pam did a much better job with all the details than I ever could, so head on over to her site for all the info.

If you do come, be sure to cheer for #1952. Or just watch the above video for some of the greatest hits from last week's scrimmage. I'm pretty sure that's me at 0:28 sliding down the track on my face. Good times!
