Derby Girl Does NaNoWriMo!

I'm participating in National Novel Writing Month 2009! I'll be attempting to spew 50,000 words of roller derby in 30 days. Support my quest by making a donation. All funds go to support the Young Writer's Program. My goal is $250 by November 30.

I played soccer until college. The game has apparently changed.
Holy shit. I was always told to “watch the elbows” in high school. Which led me to master the art of giving someone the shoulder. You can put all of your weight into the other player as well as fly under the ref’s radar. It serves you well at bars too. I have seen and experienced (and probably given my fare share of) some shit on a soccer field, but I’ve never seen that level of dirty play. Yet, she only got a yellow card.

LOLOL. this is hilarious.
Let us not forget Charm City’s own Mr. Pistol, Yosemite Slam, Lance Harmstrong and Chairman Meow.
We’ve been teasing Jonathan R, captain of the NYSE, also known as Flying Squirrel, manager of the Queens of pain ever since this article came out.
It doesn’t stop with coaches … some of the refs and dude derby skaters are pretty hot (looking at you, brendanmc!)
This penalty timer is freaking awesome.
Getting really serious about getting a tattoo of my skates. This is when they were new … they’re definitely a little worse for the wear after a season of Pissahs, a season of B Party, and a summer of outdoor practices.
“She is not Donna Summer. Clearly, she is Dianna Ross from the RCA years. Why can’t daddy see that?”
“How could I forget Cher? That’s embarassing…”
“THAT’S embarassing?”
