Skates

Dammit, I really want some roller skates! I'm clearly watching too many movies about Roller Derby. I'm kind of obsessed. Not that I have any aspirations for joining. No thank you. I'm not aggressive enough. Plus...  I don't know how well I'd take a hit. I'd either go down and be a total baby about it or flip the hell out and try and tear the other girl's hair out. Wait. What happened to not being aggressive? Hmmm. Maybe I could be a part of this sport! Well for the time being I think I'll just stick with watching movies about this. Two of my favorites are Whip It and Blood on the Flat Track. Whip It is an actual movie starring Ellen Page and Drew Barrymore and it is awesome. Blood on the Flat Track is a documentary about the sport and about the Rat City Rollergirls. It is also awesome. So if you have any interest in seeing girls beating the hell out of each other or if you just want to see some bad ass ladies, Derby is for you. We have a team here in town, I gotta get to see them play! Dang I need some skates!
