not in the cards...
so rat city tryouts came and went. the 6 week derby camp was an amazing experience and I am sooo glad to have done it. it was a great learning experience and I have come a long way since Feb. who knew way back when that i would have made it sooo far!! and also a BIG thanks to the people that helped Helena and I get there!!! and i know, i know, i need to send my thank you gifts...
last night we skated our hearts out and I was priveledged enough to get a call back to return the next day for interviews. I interviewed with Grave Danger and Throttle Rockets. They both went really well and I was torn on which I would like better but either way, i know it would have been the right fit and I would have been happy. In the end, i was one of the few that didnt get picked up. there just werent enough slots and unfortunately everyone was just so damn good!!! so it is back to PFM for me and i'll keep at it and see what happens come June! and I am looking forward to helping all my PFM gals to be better skaters too! it of course sucks to be rejected but I know everything happens for a reason and right now is just not my time. and it is almost a relief in a way as derby is such a HUGE committment and very time consuming. so i am VERY excited for my gals that made it (12 total) this time around and I commiserate with my fellow skaters that didnt make it. i guess that tattoo will have to wait.. lol! :)
fyi, Rat City is for sure playing at the KEY ARENA next season. thanks sonics for leaving!!! :) the first bout is Feb 7th! be there or be square!!!!!!!!!
