New Years' P.S.S.

See Dick drink.
See Dick drive.
See Dick die.

New Year.....New Blogger?

How many of you have made the switch over to the NEW and supposedly improved Blogger? I was leery while it was in beta and I know of at least one blogger that had a bad experience.....I'm talkin' to you, Dog Faced Boy. Is it okay to take the plunge? How many of you have done it?

New Years Resolutions....

I usually think those things are crap. Why wait to designate a specific time to make changes that affect your life positively? Why not just do it when you thought of the change that would make your life better? Like roller derby, for instance. I wanted to do it, so I did. I didn't wait til I dropped the pounds like I wanted to do...I was horribly self conscious and considered not going until I was in better shape. Then I got to thinking. How stupid. Getting in shape, for something that will get me in shape. Thats like losing a few pounds before signing up for a gym membership. Thats fat girl thinking for you.

I did make a promise to blog more and to read more blogs. But that actually isn't a New Years' Resolution....it just happened to fall within the time frame, so thats what I called it.

I suppose if I have to make a resolution, it would be not to make resolutions. Like the Nike ad says....

Just. Do. It.
Whether it be on January 1st, or any other day.

My fingers are the only thing that don't hurt....

So...
I can blog...and I will
I have neglected this blog for long enough. I am committed to keeping it going, despite my busy new life. It is one of my New Years' Resolutions to blog more...that includes reading them too, as that has definitely, regrettably fallen to the wayside. I hope all of you are doing well and enjoying the season.

When I'm not here, I've over at The Darkside...yes, you guessed it...FG has a Myspace. It was started just to keep an eye on the kid, then evolved into a home for my new derby family. If you have a Myspace, add me. Gawd, "add me"....I feel like such a Myspace whore.

MERRY, MERRY, EVERYBODY!!!!

...Maybe she's skating

Freddie hit the nail on the head.

I had a really bitchin' post in the works, with tons of derby links and updates...stupid me didn't press save at any time during typing and I lost it all when the power went out. We were without power for 3½ days. NOT. FUN. AT. ALL.

The power finally came on late Sunday. We are some of the lucky ones. Some of the derby girls live out in the Key Peninsula area and were told, yesterday, they'd be lucky to have power by xmas. Holy shit.

I've been uber busy with derby stuff. This starting a league crap is really time consuming. But fun. And so worth it. I'm having the time of my life!

We practice three times a week now. And we've been doing tons of fundraisers.

The league from Olympia, The Oly Rollers, came up last week and showed us what real bouting was like. We have tons of work to do. They were so fucking FAST. But the experience was a great one, even if they did wipe the rink with us.

We practice bout all the time...knocking each other around is fun, but its all about learning techniques and honing skills. Thats why I was more than a little suprised to find out just how satisfying it was for me to knock a perfect stranger on her ass. I would venture to say that roller derby is just as much a high as any drug I have ever done. And man, its potent!

Last night was a grueling workout.I made a rather nasty boob plant(think face plant, only lower), my right tit is entirely blue and purple. Good thing it's mine, or I'd have be in the ER with a ruptured implant. I hit the floor so hard that it split the seam on the cup of my bra. I even took pictures! Don't get all excited, there's no nipple action.


THIS IS YOUR BOOB.
THIS IS YOUR BOOB ON ROLLER DERBY...

And NO, Hubs, you CANNOT rub it to make it feel better.
