Rollin'
Plans for the upcoming weekend were looking somewhat lackluster. I had made peace with the fact that I would probably spend it doing errands and taking naps.
Then I got invited to a roller derby. Woot!
Saturday night we will watch some tough roller tramps elbow and scratch each other in their quest to get round the rink. We will partake of cheap beer in plastic cups- no bottles, thank goodness, because we might feel the urge to throw the heavy glass projectiles at the ladies in our cheering frenzy- and we will root for our favorite tattoos until our throats are scratchy.

Jealous much?

Ha, that's great! Throw your beer anyway, it'll make things more interesting inside the rink.

Gone are the days when we could gather at the rink and do the limbo on skates. Sad.

Oh damn, when I first started reading, I thought YOU were going to be IN the derby. That's a wonderful image to get me through the day.
p.s. You would KICK ASS in a roller derby...give it some thought.

Meg- I would kick ass, wouldn't I? Unfortunately, I haven't skated since middle school and I'm afraid that a) I'd be rubbish, and b) I'd break my ankle. Or wrist. Or neck.
