Stupid travel team

In my Rose City Rollers skating career, I must’ve set some kind of record for number of times trying out for travel team without making it. Four? Five? Enough to have lost track. This time, I had very low expectations. I seriously considered taking my name off the tryout list a few times, just to [...]

Once again, I tried out for travel team, and once again, I didn’t make it. For the most part, I’m disappointed, annoyed, hurt, and embarrassed. And a little panicky, thinking how good the chance is that I’ll never make it. All that with a good layer of just plain sad. I feel kind of like slipping a note to [...]

All of the sudden it’s Thursday, and I haven’t written here since before the WFTDA Championship game. It’s tough to wrap your brain around expressing your experiences in a weekend like that, which was so bittersweet, crazy, maddening, and inspiring. I don’t think we need to go over the bittersweet part. My team lost, but [...]

Posted my recap on the Rose City Rollers blog during lunch today. Here’s my favorite picture (OF ME) from this weekend. You ain’t going nowhere, Boise girl.
The difficulty of having a doppelganger

When Mike Chexx’s mom told me last night that she thinks I’m “so cute” on the track, I had to wonder if she was thinking of Honey Hellfire. Note: I will never complain about getting mixed up with a gorgeous woman and a great skater who’s significantly younger than me. I’ve just learned to take [...]
