My life is all about roller derby

I've just been having so much fun. I can't even tell you how great this is... the girls, the game... pretty much all of it.
Every time I go I love it more. It's easy to get sucked in to the derby life, and easy to understand why the sport is growing like crazy all over North America again. It's aggressive, fun and so friggen sassy :) I love the sassy-ness of it all. The derby names, the derby clothes (I don't know how I lived so long without fishnet in my wardrobe. I friggen love it)... the bruises, the posturing and 'friendly' rivalries.
I love that my crazy personality is an asset instead of something that nearly gets me arrested...
I have a new derby name thanks to an awesome, awesome crazy derby doll named 'Bella Bomb'. My new name??? 'Nita Bang' :) Bahahahahaaaa I love it. My other name was too close to another one in the name registry, so she came up with this one. I think it fits my personality better anyway.

I'd really encourage anyone who's interested to check it out (that would be YOU Carolyn!!!). Do a search and find somewhere close by that you can check out. It's worth it... fo shizz.
Don't be afraid of the skating, falling and hitting. It's not nearly as bad as you think. Trust me... ;)
Now, I'm going to leave you with an image of my awesome skates (well, except mine have naughty things written on the laces). Feel free to touch your screen and wish they were yours.
And if you're ever wondering what to get me for Christmas??? You can never go wrong with fishnet :)

Hurt so good...

So many exciting things have happened or are happening. I haven't had the time or desire to update lately, but it's probably time for a quickie...

Vacation was awesome. Seeing friends, family and all the great people that make up my happy place :) Got another tattoo in Smithers (its awesome.. really awesome. I'll post some pics soon).
Looked for land but didn't find anything suitable. One place smelled like horse. NOT just normal horse, but a stinky mcnasty horseishness that trailed with us well after the visit. Even at dinner we were all reeking like horse's ass. I'm used to being a horse's ass, but not used to smelling like one. NASTY! (that's not why it wasn't suitable... it sucked for other reasons too).
I'll be making another trip soon to check things out.

Lots of other stuff... but I'm skipping to my new awesome news that makes me so excited I'm jumping around like a kid on sugar. I joined roller derby.

A lot of people think I'm crazy, but for the record, let me tell you it's awesome! I'm very excited about this... ok, I'm beyond excited I'm freaking crazy about it.
I know I won't be here for very long, but I'm going to learn and play as much as possible and then start a league in Smithers when we move. Terrace already has a league, as does PG, so prepare for some serious ass whoopin!
I know you're wondering about one of the most important parts of derby... my derby name :)
I am now, and evermore to be known as the Irish BombHer. yeah baby ;)
I have my funky gear ordered and now I'm ready to rock and roll (hahahaha get it?? roll, cuz its on skates???)

Bryan Adams was AMAZING. I love that man... Kelsey and I had a great time at the concert. I almost made it on stage... I didn't throw my undies at him or end up in jail for any inappropriate conduct (sooo proud of myself). Seriously, he is so unbelievably talented. Sigh...

You know what's really weird?? Someone told me I'm going to hell... :) I just thought I should share cuz it was a really bizarre experience. I'm in favor of dialing down the crazy...

Ok, thanks for the quickie, now I've gotta jet homies.

Hope you're all enjoying the last days of summer :)
