Whip It Good!

There is a part of me that really wants to be a roller girl. The part of me that likes to hurt people AND roller skate. The two go together like PB&J...kinda. I mean who didn't toy with the idea after seeing Whip It?!? That movie was roller derby awesomeness! Here's what's holding me back though.
1) I can't seem to find the perfect roller girl name. Here are a couple I've been toying with: Smackajewea, Punky Bruiser, The PunisHer, Avra Cadavera, Hot Fuzz, ManaTease (that one is for Scott)...none seem to fit just right though.
2) I would have to fork out over $100 bones for new skates, padding, and a helmet.
3) I would have to commit 3 nights a week to it for practice and bouts. That's the part that's really holding me up. I'm in softball one night a week and that annoys me. I feel like I already have a job that I have to be at 8 hours a day/5 days a week and church for 3 hours every Sunday that nothing else should demand a set amount of time from me.
...Ahhhh, what to do!? I'm torn...knocking people to ground sure would be awesome!

Going Gaga

It appears I'm going to have to eat my words that I wrote in my hate post about Lady Gaga. Scott you better stop reading now cause I know of your aversion to her...that we once shared. I admit it now...I like her. Ever since Glee (which is one of the best show's on TV) did Lady Gaga day, she's been slowly seeping into my like category. It started with me buying the Glee versions of her songs from I-Tunes and loving them. So then the next step of course was to borrow a CD from my pal Nicole (the one I actually gave her for her birthday) and copy it. It's one of my favorite CD's to listen to now. I still think Lady Gaga is a dirty freak, but she's gritty and raw and knows how to spin a beat. The girl has a gift for songs that just hook me.
