Sounds like the still before the storm is settleing in your direct vacinity.
Skating is something that definately takes practice to get comfortable with. The best thing to do is try to relax your body and muscles. Especially when falling over, if you are already rigid, your muscles work against you instead of crumpling to the ground, you kinda snap to the ground, if that makes sense. Try to feel your centre of gravity as low and seperate your legs moving from your upper body. This way your upper balance and lower movements should balance each other individually. In the end its like riding a bike, once you feel the 'groove' it only gets easier until you move like water, smoothly and with fluid motion.
Good luck with the Roller Derby. Remember never accept defeat and just keep on getting back up if you hit the ground.
Hope the whole house thing goes well, im sure you have some memories tied to that place having lived their for almost 10 years but I think change is always good, especially in a home.

Yeah, Zany used to strip the tinsel and just leave wire on the tree!
We'll be doing web design, we've already started doing a couple of sites for businesses around town, but just haven't set up the business side properly yet.
There isn't much of a choice for kittens here, there are only three in town that I know of, and I rang everywhere from the local vets to the RSPCA! I even checked every message board in town!
I was gonna suggest how about his thursday for the simpsons movie. You have intrigued me to go and use my parks membership card even though this girl is taken. If i get served by her i will certainly name drop. And i do want to go mini golfing some time, maybe trewin can come along. I think i just decided where my birthday party for this year will be. Glenelg, dinner followed by mini golf session at the beachhouse.
