You know that feeling, after life has been kicking the shit out of you over and over again, and you finally get a break; It may not be much of a break, and it may not mean anything in the long run, but just those few moments of happiness that make you feel like everything is going to be okay.
I got that this weekend. I smiled for the first time in what feels like weeks, I cooked my first actual meal since before Christmas, and I got my appetite back!
Started my weekend out with a fantastic metal show at the Army Navy club here in Guelph with Baptized in Blood who are really great. That's saying a lot since I'm a huge metal snob and usually hate everything that's not from Scandinavia. Who knew good metal could come out of my former shit-hole of residence, London, ON (No offense to any friends that still live there, but I hated it)
Spent some quality time with the roommate on Saturday. That doesn't happen all that often. It's probably better that way....but it was nice still. My ears buzzed all day long from the concert the previous night, and it took me hours to realize the reason my neck was so sore all day....oh yeah! metal show!
Sunday brought the strangest yoga class I've ever been to. As I entered the hot yoga studio the yogi explained how we would be holding extremely uncomfortable postures for 5-7 minutes each for the next 75 minutes (in a hot room, listening to gong music). I have to admit though, it was kind of great. I felt extremely grounded, and although uncomfortable most of the time, the release afterwards was unbelievable. I had this feeling of post-orgasmic glow for hours after the class.
Finally this brings us to my first intermediate roller derby practice! So great to be back on my skates again. It was tough, and slippery (I think the floors were newly waxed) and exhausting, but definitely the highlight of my week. We did our first (sort of) scrimmages. It was an unbelievable feeling of power wearing that gold star on my helmet jamming for my team. I can't wait until I'm actually skilled enough to play in bouts. I have a long way to go but it's honestly the best thing I have in my life right now and I'm holding on so tight...
I love how it makes me feel strong and badass and like I can do anything, though I have to admit, one of my favourite parts are the tights and booty shorts.
ok so derby girl halloween costume...a cop out... i know... and helmet hair is not attractive... I also know that.
but that's what you get until shit becomes real.

oh yeah...and if anyone knows anything about promoting things online i'd love some tips. I'm going to be the online promoter for Guelph's pride festivities this year...

I thought the first single the new Van Halen album was terrible, but I've listened to three other songs (trying to hold out until the release ), and they sound great! They actually re-recorded "Big Trouble," which was one of my favorite songs.
Never had a post-orgasmic glow for hours. That sounds very tantalizing. Always wanted to try it, but I'm not very limber. I know people like to tie-in Yoga with astral projection and the like. It does sound very relaxing, esp when you said "melt into the mat." That's kind of appealing.
Death's Leprosy creeped the fuck out of me as a child. It just sounds like the heebie-jeebies, lol. It made me paranoid that I might contract leprosy or necrotizing fasciitis. Ha.
