wednesday night...derby night

soooo....its wednesday once again, and you all know what that means...DERBY!!

Alise T Kill has informed me that our gaskets have arrived, yayyy....have i mentioned that i love derby?? lol

Off to practice i go...unfortunatly i know im not going to be able to stay for the entire practice, i have to work...BOOO URNSSSS! but at least i will be able to make it for at least part of the practice, and hopefully i'll have time to have a shower before going into work. lmao

when i arrive to practice, im greeted by some of my fellow derby girls...and a big hug from Cherry Dread! aww shucks! these girls certainly now how to make a girl feel loved! DERBY LOVE!! they had read my blog, the post from Monday night practice. I know i have mentioned it before, but i think i'll keep fucking saying it...One of the best parts to being apart of DRD is the encouragement, comraderee and all around great bunch of people that i have found and surrounded myself with. They are supportive, fun, and are more than willing to light a fire under your ass when you need it...GROUP HUG!!! ( too bad guys, i'll be hugin', just can't help it...and i do bite :))

so off i go to get geared up, and Alise T Kill is there with my gaskets! yayy, can't wait to try these suckers out, i wanna feel the clouds under my knees! Little worried that i won't be able to get them on, i mean, my legs are a little on the larger side...i have men's legs lmao...but i was assured they would fit, so i sit my arse down, take them out of the package and begin pulling them on. Holy hell they are a tight fit! they are supposed to fit tight, would defeat the purpose if they were loose. so i huff n puff and pull the damn things on...broke a sweat, and was now ready for a nap...

i finished gearing up, i traded wheels with Id Hit That, wanted to try the Flatouts, told they were what i should be using, and they look more stable to me, i mean i know i was probably deluding myself...but hey, there's a reason im medicated....so trade we did...and off to the arena floor.

Wheels felt a little off, with the help of Dii Mented and Pixil Ninja i fixed them up and off i wobbled!...strange how it takes a few turns to get used to using different wheels....flatouts aren't any wider than the ones i had borrowed from Broken Kitty...but they seemed to have a better grip on them for the newly wobbling.

We did some warm ups, followed by whistle drills....while trying to use the new way i learned to get back to my feet, i seemed to have tweaked my left knee...i have bad knee..always have.surgerys, broken knees (three times) .i'm pretty sure it goes back to when i was five years old and had been hit by a car....sad sad day that was..my poor doll's head fell off and rolled down the hill...but i digest, thats a story for another day....i skated for a few more rounds and then decided that perhaps i better sit for a few minutes....as they say, when your body is telling you to fuck off...you should probably listen...

i sat for a few minutes, and tried to participate in the drill again...made it around about three more times and decided nope, not gonna work tonight...i wobbled over to the bench and sat for a bit...watching the tortu........er.......drills from the side lines....

now it was time for me to go, off to work i must go...knees is angry, but what ya gonna do.


So i arrive to work, talk to the staff i was releiving at the time and proceeded to go out the back door for a smoke...step out the door and my knee says fuck you bitch and down i go...yep, fell out the door...very graceful...almost totally worth the look on the faces of the people that saw it happen, lmao

so now im at work, a little more hurting, a little more bruised, but hey...
Remember to BEND YER FUCKING KNEES!
