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!
Well tryouts aren't for another month so you have time think about it. I think once you join the right name will be made clear to you through a concision induced vision. I say go for it!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Do it. DO IT!
ReplyDeleteDerby girls don't want half-assed commitments. These girls are in it for the BLOOD and glory and for the designation "Derby Girl." Can you hack it Sister??!! CAN YOU!??!??! I think you can. Now... go find yourself a hard-assed name and do the damn thing. (This post compelled me to use my week's quota of swears... prove to me it wasn't a waste).
