hi monkey!!!
So I'm actually writing a post now because it turns out my buddy Kristin lurks in my livejournal to find out what i'm up to. Other people are free to read and post as well though.
Hi Mrs. Marriedgrownup!
Roller derby is finally coming along. we're getting really aggressive and practices are looking really good and.........we'll be playing our first bout sometime between September and October. I'm really excited!!!
We divided into teams and Mo and I are on opposite teams but that's perfect because now we can fight each other all the time and it'll make sense. My team has a convict theme and we'll be wearing black and white striped prison costumes. My skate name is Dahmernatrix #17. That way I can still use it if we decide to go with a cannibal team later.
What else?
I'm starting trapeze classes this Saturday. I've been thinking about it for years but 2 weeks ago I saw a show with burlesque on trapeze and decided some vital part of me was going to explode if I didn't stop putting it on the bottom of my priorities list and learn it now! So I made some calls and start on Saturday.
I also finally started practicing taxidermy, but am not good at it. I've only tried it once and am very discouraged. If I don't get good at it and start making contructive things soon I'm going to be playing with dead things for no good reason and that can't be.
I also have a puppy and she's adorable. Her name is Katie KaBoom and she tries to sit on my lap even though she's too big (pit mix).
I went to Sarah and Bryan's wedding reception. All the while before it I was grumbling, "I hate weddings I hate wedding I hate weddings..." but I actuially got choked up when I saw them walk across the floor together, all wedding-gussied-up. Also when Bryan danced with him mom and Sarah her dad. It was sweet.
I trust from reading Mo's journal you know about our ill-fated eggplant parmesan? After inviting everyone over to our new house for dinner (a Tucson derbygirl was in town so we decided to make an occasion of it after practice) we went to the store to buy groceries and realized we hadn't had the gas turned on in our house yet. We got home and found that, yes, our stove is indeed gas powered. Fuck! Hey, but we do have a neat little firepit in the back yard... So I started the fire and broke up wood for it and we cooked eggplant parmesan over the open fire, with s'mores for dinner. And yes, I managed to both sear the skin on 4 fingers and set fire to the spaghetti before the night was through.
But it was a good time. Bill went to the store to get me gauze and burn cream so I wouldn't have to stick my hands in a tub of butter or ice all night. I'll send you pictures of me drinking PBR with my thumbs and palms since my fingers are all bandaged.
And that's about it.
you?
