The longer I stay here, the harder it is getting to leave 
Last weekend derby debauchery was amazing! Followed up by Gogol Bordello on Monday, an artshow at Avalon II in San Diego last night and meet up with a few wonderful SG friends. I got to meet Terry Ribera who I hope will be doing my next tattoo, but he's booked until May, which...

I have been around here lately, checking blogs and what not but have been kind of in the shadows, not because there is anything wrong, I've just been so incredibly busy I don't even know where to begin.
Tomorrow, one...

Well if it's any consolation I won't be in Chicago either. Cop (one of the JRs on my crew from westerns) is getting married and I'm a groomsman. Have fun tomorrow, I wish I could be there!

congratz on the blood sugar
All I have to say is:
Fuck
This
HEAT!!!
It was 107 on the coast today, 119 in LA (record highs).
I'm going to find a restaurant with a/c and frozen margaritas!
In further news, I found a roommate, he moves in Oct 1, the move to Colorado is still being planned, but has been prolonged. However this weather makes me miss the cool crisp...

Hello my lovely. How are yous?
Hello my lovely. How are yous?This weekend was amazing.
Friday I sent out with a handful of girl from my league on a bar crawl and did some recruiting (though I sometimes wonder how effective that is...usually I think it's just an excuse to dress up and drink a lot haha).
Saturday was a rough early morning practice,and then I headed up to Burbank to NSO for Angel City Derby...

WOOHOO!!!!! Congratulations for getting right back up on your skates, as it were. Fear can suck it. You are a derby girl, and you cannot be sidelined. 
And agreed about the letting go.

So my modem died on Thursday morning. No internet except for at work and on my phone. I cancelled my satellite a few months back to cut costs. Same with netflix.
It looks like my labor day weekend will be spent reading painting and packing.
Not a bad thing, but I think it's kind of funny when I consider how reliant I have become on...

You gotta hit me up, so we can hang out!

You sound as though you have an industrious long weekend happening which could be the essence of Labor Day. I hope the move back to CO continues to be a step in a better directions *other positive platitudes*. Seriously, though, may the best possible things happen.
I resisted the same digital realms for a long time. While I cannot imagine not having them now, I miss the peace of being entirely unavailable.

As many of you know I have been involved with Roller Derby over the past 8 or 9 months. One of our league's goals is to get involved with other non-profits organizations outside of our own and do what we can to support other nonprofits organizations. One of the things we decided to do was Komen Orange County Race for the Cure on September 26,...

You are AWESOME! I am supporting some local folks here and unfortunately low on funds, but I totally support your spirit of giving. That is a great quote as well!
ribbonsundone:
Thanks, m'dear. Why don't the dbs of the world have more self-esteem issues? Lack of reflexivity I suppose.
Having a strong female community around you sounds incredible. To build those ties in a relatively short amount of time is really powerful. Go all of you!

I've been on a really mellow-ish music kick lately. I suppose it's due to the fact that I may very well be moving soon. Maybe to Colorado, maybe to Panama (possible job transfer/promotion, I'll explain that one in a later blog).
times like these always kind of force me to look closer at me. You know, I don't regret any of the places I've lived,...

If you were to go to Colorado, you would be able to compete in your sport. I do not think they have RD in Panama.
pascipio:
Not a bad idea. Once you have enough skaters, you can play whatever position you like. Also, you can make up the rules as you go along. How many people in Panama have been to a bout?
Actaully, how many people here have been to a few bouts and still do not understand the rules?

sweet! ...thanks for the heads-up
stcyr:
Thanks. That is a lovely quote, & I'm glad to hear you're reclaiming your joy. I'm really not as morose as that may make it seem (and I tried to end on a happy -or at least typically goofy - note).

neat. I dated a whitesmith before, I'd never have the patience for it.
Tomorrow night I am going to roller derby new skater orientation/training!!!!!!
Since I had ankle surgery I may not compete straight away, since I still have to wear a brace when I go to the gym. But I am soooooo excited!! It's something I have wanted to do for a couple of years now and I'm finally doing it. The best part is I don't...
