I’m A Derby Girl
Posted: November 9, 2009 at 12:10 pmI have picked up a new addiction. I have decided to become a roller derby girl. I attended a bout 6 months or so ago and it was just beautiful to watch. Women in all different sizes moving there beautiful bodies in fast and rugged ways. I was mesmerized. It struck me as one of those taboo things that I am always so attracted too.
Its not “proper” IM IN!
It’s not “lady like” IM IN!
It’s not safe IM IN!
It’s rude and crude IM IN!
It can be painful IM IN!
I have never been on a team before nor have I ever had a slight desire to be on one. Until seeing this spectacular sport. It just fits me. Its raw and rough and real.
This is the reason I have not been taking time to blog or even get on the computer much. Being a part of this team is a huge commitment. I’m putting off several things I wanted to do for this. I consider it a life adventure, an experience to give me more passion and more stories to write about.
I have sat and watched several practices and in 3 days I will be able to start actually practicing with the rest of the “fresh meat”. We have a kick ass coach who seems to have the desire,passion and drive I hope to acquire for the sport.
