My Roller Derby Debut...

...oh how I wish that were actually true!  Really, the only sport that I've truly excelled at in life has been roller skating.  Growing up in Southern California, it's just what we did year round.  Extra-wide endless sidewalks were abundant, the weather was pleasant year round, and we could get anywhere we needed to, in particular, the Seven-Eleven where we would indulge in a "suicide" Slurpee and some $.05 Bazooka Joe gum.  It was the 80's and accompanied with my faithful collection of fanny packs in neon colors, we rocked the elementary afterschool scene! 

Sunday night I once again found myself rocking the elementary rollerskating scene at my nephew's 8th birthday party!  The wind from the centrifugal force blowing in my face, rounding corners at death defying angles, and fully utilizing the carpeted rink walls to stop my high speed and possibly wreckless skating.  It's been ten years since roller skates have coddled these feet but it was quite the welcomed reunion.  I felt like a real bad ass out there last night...untill I saw the pictures in which I look totally normal...LAME!  Maybe it was all in my head but RollerTowne has not seen the last of me and as those Roller Derby girls took to the rink I could only mutter and shake my fist in the air while quoting our great Governator, "I'll be back!"

...errr, that must have been my warm-up lap because I felt like I was skating at the speed of light!

My wannabe Roller Derby name is...BabySkin, since I would be the only one without a tattoo marked body.  It only seemed appropriate!
