I recently had a friend tell me how difficult Thanksgiving and the Holidays were for her. So post-thanksgiving, I guess I kind of find myself thinking about "the holidays" and what that means...
As someone who has spent several holidays away from home and "family" (by family I mean the ones we're born into, not the ones we choose).
I'm not good with traditions.
Perhaps...

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. Lately I have been so hit and miss on here, I apologize. Lots going on (as always). More on that later, but I've joined the crew in LA, i'm working a big tournament in Eugene OR in February, I'll be working several tournaments next year I hope. I'm jumping and...

Hi sweetpea...
So I finally figured out how to download a video on here! Thank you Leib_!!!
Here's my contribution to the accent video craze and I kinda dig vlog-ing (but I hate that word)
Anyway, hopefully you enjoy it. For anyone interested, the book I read a passage out of is seriously amazing. Like "I want to sit and read it to you" amazing. It...

I love being Head Ref but honestly part of me just wants to throw in the towel and be an official that's it. No head. No dealing with other people's bullshit.
I am learning that despite someone's potential, it's not my...

I love the passion and committment and drive you have for derby. All the other shit aside, I only have that kind of passion for writing. And even that gets pushed aside most days.
Thank you for your sweet words.
Your opinion matters a lot.
And...
It makes me feel successful at SOMETHING.
(p.s. video montages most welcome - we need to go back top those old SG days of tape mix swaps)

Ennui is the flavor of the day. Supply-side ennui.
And, thank you. You rock.
And, thank you. You rock.
I love long weekends!
Wish I had more of them.
Wish I had a job that would allow me to spend as much time as I'd like doing derby related schtuff.
Wait this was supposed to be a non derby related blog...

That seems nearly impossible these days.
As much as I love it. I'm glad the season is coming to a close. I...

LOL my pops just had surgery on his eye, you have a much cooler patch 
d_day:
Well I certainly didn't mean to cause any upset. Had I even the slightest inkling something like that would happen, I'd never have said anything.
Eye Surgery is tomorrow.
And yes I still need a rollercon blog. And all kinds of other updates.
Kinda freaked about getting my eye cut open and drained
but not as much as i feel like i should be oddly enough.
Then again I may just be too exhausted for it to matter
Perhaps y'all will get a pain-killer induced blog tomorrow, that could be...

Was going to do a long post about our last bout which was from an officiating standpoint, not a success in my opinion, but, i'm not "ove ir" over it, but over it enough to look at it and take it as a learning opportunity for all of us.
Just got back from Rollercon, I'm effing exhausted. It was a lot of fun, took a...

the last time I was in Vegas was nearly thirty years ago ...it was weird then and can only imagine how much more weird it is now
Work is indeed a pain in the ass even as it's a blessing to pay my bills, have food to eat and a place to hang my hat ...but I gotta get some fun going or I'll lose it ...whiteaker block party tomorrow (a raucous Eugene freak-fest) ...my chance to be saved ...wish me luck

With our league being so new, there's not a wholewhole lot to volunteer for, but whenever there's anything, I'm there. Especially because I'm meat. I'm hoping the strain isn't too horrendous and I can skate soon. I've never had a sprain so I'm not entirely sure what to expect. They ask us to ref for scrimmages but they never teach us the rules, so who knows. Maybe this is more of a reason to learn the rules.
Bout Day tomorrow! I'm a happy girl who is managing chaos 
And I just wanted to change from my last blog
Despite that no good stuff, life is good

Have fun tomorrow.

Woot! ... Have fun!
I'm glad it was a good one for you. The best things often come from left field.
I found my best "family" dinners to be the ones I spent with the misfit toys we gathered along the way in a variety of foreign territories.
Nowadays, if we just pin down at least one traditional family dinner with relatives we can bow out of the rest claiming to be embracing the traditions we have created on our own and for our own. This diverts the rabid beasts, I mean relatives, and allows us the kind of family time we can enjoy.
