And so a Derby girl was born

things that don't fit...trips through the woods and a new way to get up..

Soo...the next day after my little break down, full of new resolution, nerves of steel and a double dose of meds...i send out a message to see if anyone would like to join me for an outdoor skate date.  Dii Mented and Pixil Ninja show some interest, and whilst deciding where we might partake we decide to go out to the out door arena in St. Paul.  Dii Mented and Pixil Ninja pick me up and away we go!!!!!!!

After driving for 3 days, communing with nature and a slight u turn we arrive at the arena.  We meet up with Lady Isa Hella and T.  Thanks to Laday Isa Hella and T for the sweeping of the floor...Rockstars! Both of you!

We all gear up, apply copious amounts of bug spray and start to roll......I decided that i was gonna give the pilons a rest for the day...yes i was medicated but wasn't sure if i could stave off the murderous urges that the pilons bring out in me so i thought it was better to focus on other things that night.

Dii Mented worked with me for a few minutes, helping me get that damn foot in front of me for a good a fucking proper turn.  Well, colour me surprised!! i did it!! i'd jump for joy but well, being on wheels lets not push my luck! but i certainly did have that shite eatin grin on my face.  I went around the arena over and over..., doing the proper turn...knees bent...leading foot in front of me...other foot actually following along. Now thats an adult turn right there kiddies!

My feet had been a little crampy but really not all that bad....but the cramp in the shin area was back...still shocks the fuck outta me that you can cramp there....seriously..who knew???
Dii Mented rolled on over whilst i was clutching the side boards for dear life...i very calmly asked her (and by calm i mean with desperation and a high pitched voice) if she knew of any stretches that would help the shin cramp...she showed me a very wonderful one, it did take some of the pressure off and then she asked Pixel Ninja if perhaps, since i was steadier that i had been if my trucks needed to be loosened again.  Pixel says sure, and says come on over....cause i know you can...lmao.  As he is loosening them up, he says hey! this is gonna be just like when i loosened your wheels!! (picture evil grin here).....i groan and say wonderful! lmao

Now im adjusted.....well adjusted i can imagine.....and i give it a roll....wow, can definatly feel the difference! way more give! i kinda like it! makes it easier, and less painful....but at the same time, noticably wobbly lmao

Off i go to do a little wobbling around the arena floor again........wayy better with the adjustment......i decide im gonna practice a few falls...double knee falls to be exact, i haven't had much practice with these since i was holding off doing them until i had a mouth guard.....i mean, seriously...have you met me??? gracefull i am not! i do some of these, and then some falls while moving...damn i love doing these, the whole sliding thing...yeah fucking fun as hell!! (WEEEEEE!!!!!!, come on now say it with me...WEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!) shite eatin grin still slapped across my face.

I ask Dii Mented if she can show me how it is she gets back to her feet after a fall, she has a way of doing it that seems that it would be easier than the way i have been doing it, which is one legged and kind of throws your balance off for a few seconds, she explains it, shows me and walks me through it....everyone was watching, and cheered me on while i tried it and ..... WINNING!! i did it.  i practiced a few more times...well shite, found some new muscles, yet again, that i didn't know i had...apparently, under all that flab...yeah...angry angry muscles!! lol

So now its time to go home....back through the woods....past grandmother's house and a short visit with the wolf........

Good night....good night indeedy~!........and remember...Bend yer fucking knees!
