_____I CAME TO BRING THE PAIN

So this is the most glorious of glorious days, I must say (if you don't watch old skool SNL you won't get that). Moving on. The Slam has been moved up to scrimmaging with the hopes of playing on the Calamity Janes this fall. Excitement is not even the word to describe this feeling. The thought that I will probably be bouting this fall is so amazing. I know that I will have to step up my endurance, focus and overall game. I am so ready to get the shit kicked out of me. Speaking of that, we were playing Queen of the Rink Yesterday. I love this game. What happens is everyone skates and tries to hit people out of bounds. If you fall or go out of bounds you're out. The last one standing is "Queen of the Rink". So our league recently decided to have our refs participate in drills. They cannot hit us but we can hit them (hahahaha). So I'm skating along hitting people and I come up to one of the refs, who is super tall, and hit him. His arms go flailing trying to steady himself so he doesn't fall. Now a derby girl knows the golden rule is "arms in". We try our best and of course the refs just started doing contact, I get all that. But anywho, when I hit him his arm flew into my face and smashed my nose. OUCH!! I fell to the ground holding my nose in pain. I have never really been hit in the nose so I didn't know how much it smarts. It is not too swollen but still hurts wicked bad. Lesson learned. Don't hit the refs. HAHAHA! How often do you get to hit a boy though? Argghh! A girls arm to the grill does not hurt half as much. So this Saturday is my first scrimmage and I think I might poop my pants. Stay tuned for more.

THE BEST OF TIMES ARE OVER

This picture just about sums up why I love Heath Ledger. FUCK YOU TO THE WORLD!!

CUT THE F---- OFF. DAMN!!

So I had a short stint of MySpace addiction and now the powers that be have cut me , and presumably everyone else, off. That so sucks ass!! It was so cool to actually talk to people that I haven't talked to in days - and to see their pics and friends and all that fucking crap that's been cut off from me. CALM DOWN NICOLE. Deep breath in. Slow breath out. Well, now that my MySpace stint is over it is back to blogging. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. Who the hell cares what I have to say? If you do than you're an idiot. Just kidding. LOVE YOU. God, I feel like I'm talking to my husband.





What's new lately? I still have not come to terms with the death of Heath Ledger. GOD, it's so unreal. I know he's not a family member or anything but I loved him. Not in a psycho way but in a he's so fucking cool and doesn't give a shit about Hollywood way. I love the above pic of him and Michelle standing by their pool flicking off the paparazzi and Heath holding the Fuck Off sign. He lived in Brooklyn too, not LA or Malibu or some crap. He lived in Park Slope. Now I use to live in the next neighborhood over, which is Sunset Park, and I can tell you that it is not the best off areas to live. Point in case, I had to move after getting robbed. Mostly though I feel sad for his daughter, Matilda, and Michelle. Growing up without parents I know how much it sucks!



The pic above is Heath from Lords of Dogtown. I friggin' loved him in that movie. But I am a total skate betty so I would've loved it anyway. I thought he was Val Kilmer at first.

SLAM GETS SENTIMENTAL

Snow, snow, snow EVERYWHERE!! It has snowed like basically every day. Yesterday I had to shovel the path to the house twice. I am not sure how much snow we have exactly, but to give you an idea I can only see the very top of the handlebars on my son’s bike. I actually think that it is pretty awesome. We have not had much snow the past couple of years so it is nice to have snow taking over. It also helps that our friend is plowing our driveway for us. In previous years we were too poor to afford plowing all the time so we would get stuck in the driveway 24/7. At nighttime Gideon and I go sledding on this cool path we made that goes from the side of the house to the back. It is downhill and all twisty and turny. I take my round sled and start going down backwards and twirl all around. It is a blast. Christmas will soon be here and I look forward to it. When I was younger I use to dread Christmas because I was in California and my family was in Maine. Christmas alone sucks. Although, I did have a blast the year I went to Tahoe with Nicole and chilled with her fam. That was a friggin’ blast. That year I was working for FAO Schwartz and I gave her brother a huge stuffed teddy bear about as big as him, and an oversized bouncy Balzac Ball. Now that was definitely a white Christmas filled with elves dancing in the street. Anywho, this Christmas will be quite a different one. My son is now old enough to get super excited about presents. He tears through them like crazy. I like presents too, so I bought myself one just in case I don’t get anything good. I ordered this sweet ass jacket thingy from this store called Dog Funk. If you haven’t been there before check out the website: http://www.dogfunk.com/. Killer skate and snowboard gear. So, my friends, I will leave you with my Christmas present to you. These are the lyrics to the new title of my blog. You didn't think I made up that brilliance on my own did you? The group is The Blow and the song is Come On Petunia. I love these guys.

Every little thing she does is magic. every thing she does just turns me on. even though my life before was tragic, now i know my love for her goes on."come on petunia", you thought in your head, "it would all be so easy if you could be led to the cave where i hide you in linens and frames, and in new combinations i've made of our names. it's a tiny hole, yeah, but you'd fit if i sliced you up wee itty bitty, i'd sliver and splice you and then you could be many, and i'd be the one who was privy to love you and show you the fun."Jamie stood on his stoop, and he challenged his homies to go get some girlfriends and locate their yonis. the waters were parting and times getting heated. the boys needed friendship, the beat needed meeted. unh unh. her dress was a ship at sail. unh. her knees were the water pail. this was survival and she was the kit. you could die of thirst if the girls won't give you sips.You're all jenny and lindsey and fine and i'm underwater, shedding my mind. and i'm pretty sure baby if you'd hold my head i could live like i've wished for and undo my dread, because, i see candygrams up in the ceiling tiles, witty postcards sent off from the sandwich isles. in these towns where vacations will lead us, i'll hold out my treasures and their wealth will feed us. but, oh, she does as she wishes, and no, she won't be your missus. you kingdom it widens and you're there alone with all that love, and the void on your throne.

WINTER BLUES

It is not even Winter yet and I already have the blues. I feel like I've been cut off from society ever since I started working from home. This 2 month break from Derby is killing me. I am about to become one with my chair since my butt has not moved in days. For those of you without children: Enjoy it while you can. You will never have time to yourself again. At least not until your child starts school anyway. I miss getting drunk during the day and wishing I had something to do. I miss burning the Thanksgiving Turkey because my friends and I were so high we forgot about it. Don't get me wrong, I LOOOOOVE being a Mom, it is the most awesome gift I have ever been given. I am just saying, enjoy your freedom now my friends. I wish I could afford a Nannie. I would be like, "I'm going shopping now Nannie, see you in two hours" or "We're going out with our friends Nannie, see you in the morning". All the Moms feel me on this, I know it. For some reason we ended up with parents who never want to babysit. DAMMIT!!

At least we actually have snow outside this year. It will be a white Christmas after all. I hate it when it's cold but there is no snow. What a drag. Well my friends, I have to get to my crappy job. LOVE YOU ALL AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS......yada, yada, yada.

LOOK WHAT I CAN DO..BE AN IDIOT..

GOOD TIMES......

Hello My Friends,

I am sooooo sorry that I have not posted in forever. Both of my boys had birthdays and I have been busy with that stuff. In case ya'll wonder why I hardly talk about my fam, it's because I don't want Web psychos knowing shit about them. That means you!! Just kidding. But for realz. Anyone can access this so I'd rather email those updates and pics. But don't worry, I have PLENTY to talk about.

I went to a Halloween party at my girl Hannah's house and it was a blast. I hadn't been to a really killer house party in a minute. I ran into some folks I hadn't seen in a while and met some new crazy people. Above is a pic of these two loced out dudes. One looks like Reno 911 short shorts guy and the other looks like a white ODB. Who the hell knows. Guys were hitting on me all night even though I repeatedly mentioned by Husband in conversation. It was kinda cool to know I still got it but you know, I'm a good wifey.

For the Hubby's B-Day we went to Boston to see the Wicked Pissas' Derby Girls play. My team rented a bus nicknamed "the drunk bus" because we could drink on it. DUH!! The bus left at 3:30pm and after that all hell broke loose. Everyone was drinking before we even left the lot. By the time we got to Boston I was drunk and didn't even know it. I have to say I felt like a teenager skipping school. I was so friggin excited. Mom Bomb had a minnie keg, Punchy had a bottle of McGillicuties, A-Block had a huge Dunkin Donuts cup filled with Vodka, and I had champagne. Somehow I ended up the most wasted of everyone and ended up rolling on the floor. Mom Bomb had to tell Gideon to take me outside because I almost knocked over the DJ's turntables at the afterparty. After that I sent myself to the drunk bus because I that's were I belonged. It's all good though because I really did have so much fun!! I know it seems like I must party a lot but really, I don't usually, at least not now anyway. We have a two month break from Roller Derby and I think I have a little bit of steam to blow off. Come January I'm gonna have to simma down and start skating my ass off again. Anyone who knows me knows how I do.

I love you all!!
