Like that episode of Brady Bunch where Jan gets her nose all smashed...

The first blood spilled on the rink was mine, today, this morning, while Fox 29 News cameraman filmed it. Gori Amos was jamming; Annie Christ was pivot; Mo Pain, Josephine (can't remember her rollername) and myself were blocking. Gori got knocked out of bounds and came back in, so I blocked her at the edge. She fell and then rolled on top of me, pushing my face into the rink... Minutes later blood started pouring out of my nose and I had a fat lip but everything else is fine. A few hours after it happened, the swelling has gone down quite a lot and it's not so bad as it was. I'm getting a doctor to look at it this afternoon; didn't want to go to the emergency room since it wasn't hurting that bad and after the blood stopped I could breathe okay. We don't think it's broken but I'll find out for sure. Everyone was saying really funny shit to make me laugh, but for some reason when people ask "Are you okay" it's like when you just broke up and are mostly fine, except when people ask that, and then you get all weird like, uh... and a tear comes out of your eye and you're like, yeah, I'm fine, and then when they look away another tear comes out of your eye or three and you cough to cover up the sniffle and wipe your eye all slyly.

So we were on Fox 29's Good Day Philadelphia this morning, from a little after 6am until 9am. We got some face time, and to do some fun stuff... Hope someone taped it. All my stuff is currently in boxes and disorganized so I couldn't. I thought I was going to skip our big meeting tonight but I'm feeling a lot better now and I might go anyway.
