is it so wrong that i wish i could take my puppies everywhere with me? i really hate how dog-unfriendly oklahoma is my dogs are better behaved than most children, and those overgrown fetuses are welcome EVERYWHERE. sooo not fair :/

i'm back! and better than ever... some kind soul renewed my subscription, so i'll be around for at least three months my life is much less full of derby, but much more full of beasties! i'm an 'uber-foster'... i don't know the exact definition, but 20+ kittens at a time qualifies, i think... what's new with everyone around here? how 'bout that summer heat?

i've had a bit of a creative burst lately...

i had an entire day to just do whatever i wanted (god bless random bank holidays) and i have to say i've been inspired. i started reading the archives of wil wheaton's blog and it's not at all what i expected, but it's made me realize how much i miss writing and creating and playing guitar. sooo, i've done a bit of all three today and it's been lovely. i realize how much i've become separated from my artsy side, and it's a little frightening. dogs and derby pretty much dominated my life, which isn't necessarily bad, but there's a disconnect in there. so i'm going to try and pair up old and new jessica and see what happens. i think i'm going to try and at least write a bit each day. it's easy to do with the interwebs, i'll just make sure and blog on here or myspace or some such...

thoughts?

the things we do...

it's bizarre how i can go from being so painfully bored and lonely, to having not enough time in a week to squeeze in all the things i want/need to to. i have two (count 'em TWO) dates this week, so that'll be interesting at least. i'm back in action and skating again, so practice fills up at least two nights a week. and my 'friend' is coming into town this weekend, soooo, yeah, i'll be a busy, busy girl!
thanks to everyone that commented on that last blog, it helps to know people are thinking about me when i'm feeling all weird and emotional. things appear to have settled down on the hormonal front, which is always a good thing.
i'm just now fully recovered from almost a week of some bubonic plague-like sickness. it was brutal and sooo frustrating for someone who's never sick for more than a day, and even then doesn't miss work because of it.
i picked up max brooks' zombie survival guide thingie at the good old b & n the other day, so far it's been an interesting read...

and that's all for now, kids!

*sigh* you know, sometimes i forget how lonely i can get. i don't know if it's the new birth control, the heat or a combination of the two, but i've just been kind of down lately. it's times like this that i almost wonder... meh, all i know is i feel way too hormonal about the fact that i just checked all my places and i didn't have any new messages. boo for being a girl, sometimes...

woo! my derby team had our first two banked track bouts in austin this weekend at the battle for the banked track 2. LA got to pop our cherry, and then we showed hurricane alley what was what. i'm so revved for our first home bout on the 11th!

austin was just wow, i so wish i could have spent more time there, or that okc was just a little less small-town...

my poor white pit mix has the worst allergies! i've been trying to avoid steroid shots this summer, but he's just scratching himself all to bits, so i think i'll have to give in :/

i just picked up two jaqueline carey books that aren't from the kushiel series and i'm excited to get into them...

i've been dabbling on a free online dating site, mostly just to see if there are any like-minded people out there looking for someone cool to hang out with... so far i've chatted with a few decent guys, but i haven't actually met any of them yet.

i am so tired, and the weekend hasn't even started, yet! our derby team is pretty much booked solid with events from now until after austin. we officially scheduled our first bout for july 11th, and it is going to kick so much ass

had a blast last night! our derby team went to watch one of the local flat track leagues duke it out with txrg, the best flat track team in the nation. it was no banked track derby, but it sure was cool to watch such a good flat track team then, we headed over to the warehouse where we practice and skated around on 'the beast' while getting tipsy, wheee, skates and alcohol! now i'm going to spend the rest of the day recovering, cleaning house and bathing dogs, who wants to help?

wow

alrighty then...

i somehow ended up with two sg accounts. the other one's been deactivated, sooo, i'm back on this one!

life's a trip these days, what with the being single, working tons, having a bazillion dogs and doing roller derby, but it's definitely not boring!

i'm excited! my friend's birthday is tonight and there should be some good music and, of course, plenty of alchohol! i never really get out much these days, besides the derby practices... i'm always so busy with dog related stuff- not that that's a bad thing, just kind of tends to narrow one's social life once we're actually bouting, i'm hoping more fun things to do will pop up, after parties and such... so what's new with you?
