Things To Do Before I Die #43

I'm random. I know this about myself. I do weird and unusual things because 1. I'm single 2. I can and 3. Why not? Years from now I don't want to be married with kids and ever look back wishing I had done "this", or "that" or not taken the time to do things I had always wanted to do while I was single, living the life. So far, I've done almost everything I've ever wanted to do or try. There are of course a few things on the list but those are in the works. One for example is my love for roller skating. As a kid I would skate around the basement listening to the Xanadu soundtrack and doing the ending Skate scene, that I may or may not have memorized. If you want a good laugh, watch the above link-random I know but awesome!
My sister and I have wanted to Skate-A-State. We decide Rhode Island will work because it's only the smallest state and we can do it in just a few hours, piece of cake.
Along with my love to roller skate, I thought it would be SO RAD to do Roller Derby. I mean after all, I do have a distant cousin who was a Roller Derby Champion back in '72 before the sport died. But ladies and gentleman, IT'S BACK!

Let me give you a little preview of what it actually is in case you didn't already know.




Yea, I know I may look sweet and innocent. A little too nice and even a bit skinny and frail. But if you cross me or piss me off, I can-WILL-unleash the demons and kick some serious trash!

Well this past weekend was the Championship Game in SLC so, of course, some friends and I went. D was in town from San Francisco so we met up and the enjoyment started. We couldn't get enough of it, starting from the first sign we saw as we walked in......




As Melinda and I are sitting there doing what we do best (people watching) we notice one of the players skating by while holding her daughter. The conversation between M and I went a little something like this:
K: Um, I don't think that's the smartest thing- carrying a little girl while on skates.
M: I don't think it's the smartest thing having your two year old dress like that. They're starting early in raising her to be a Dirty Pirate Hooker
------Turns out, her mom's name on the roster is Dirty Pirate Hooker. We had no idea! Here they are in their little DPH attire.


We ended up sitting with the family of the Sisters of No Mercy which were GREAT seats. All we had to do was hold up their signs and cheer. DONE AND DONE. Plus, with a sign like this, why not?


So if you are all as stoked about this as I am, maybe you should just go ahead and join me,........
