boston derby dames - skate clinic #1

[aslant]

i just got home from the boston derby dames' skate clinic!
everyone told me to take it easy and rest this weekend after the food
poisoning, but i think i was fine. i skated for nearly two hours and
i'm feeling okay. i only fell once! and i learned how to stop, finally,
some rudimentary dragging toe stops. still no crossovers, though.

tonight we are going to the small press talk & discussion at feed your
head bookstore. (edit, apparently it was at 5! we missed the whole thing! we said hello to roxi but i felt so embarassed for having missed it. but we did walk around town and see a very nice comic book store. we will have to visit feed your head another time, so cute.) & tomorrow is liz's birthday party to watch the sox game.

i have a dandelion in my hair.

this, then is the logical progression of things-
can it be that you were meant to be a roller derby queen all along?
I'm excited to find out what your derby name will be-- do they cover that in the clinic? How about J. "Crusher" C.? (no, too mundane. Hmm. Guess it bears some thought.) Jen and I will make the drive to see you skate if you make the squad!

the jury is still out! if i can't master a crossover (or at least a fumbling attempt at one) in the next couple weeks, it's not going to happen this year, that's for sure!

i've thought endlessly about possible derby names. but neither my first nor last name lends itself to any obvious derby words...

i'll definitely post if i make the league, never fear!
