Valhalla, I am coming!

Slowly, the stomach ache I had all semester has been going away. All the spare time I figured I would have when the semester was over hasn't arrived yet though. I suppose that will happen when the roller derby season ends in July.

Not that I don't love playing so much, and want to be the best. I just miss my friends/family. Between working until 5 Monday-Friday, practicing 3 evenings a week, off-skates training 1 evening and 1 afternoon a week, team meetings, committee meetings, fundraisers, blah blah, etc, complain, I have very little time to see people who I don't skate with or work with. I pretty much have to skip something every time I want to go out with friends.

That's not to say that I am not extremely excited to be attending my first multi-day skating bootcamp this weekend, or playing the Eves of Destruction from Victoria two weeks after that. BECAUSE I REALLY AM. There are few things I enjoy more than playing derby. Actually there probably isn't anything I enjoy more. If only I could capitalize on playing the derb...

Saturday's championship bout was probably my last one as a Los Pistolita. WEIRD. I've been an LP since before I was actually an LP. I went to their meetings before I was even placed on the team. However...  I volunteered for the fourth team. This is not to say I will 100% be on this team but I think it's pretty safe to say I will be. I am looking forward to a fresh start and an opportunity to get to know some girls I haven't skated with much in the past.

One of the most exciting things about volunteering for the fourth team is creating a theme, team name and logo!! I have been pumping some girls up on the idea of a VIKING THEMED TEAM!!! I have some back up ideas in case I get shut down but I think I have a good number of girls stoked on the idea. We can be the "Daughters of Odin" and our theme song will be Led Zeppelin's the Immigrant Song. We will wear furry boot covers and our team cheer will be "FOR ASGARDR!!". Please let me have a mother fucking viking team, universe.

Movie Review

I went to see Kick ass the other night. If I had to describe it in two words they would be "ridiculously awesome". However, if I had to describe it one word it would be "ridiculous".


So so so ridiculous.

So Tyler and I have been in our new place for a few weeks now.

It's pretty fucking awesome. I'll never be able to live without an awesome view and like 4 extra closets ever again.

Last night we went on an adventure in our new front yard, the river valley. I ended up with mud all over my pants which is a clear indicator of a pretty great adventure. I also climbed on monkey bars and hung upside and did upside down sit ups. We walked up and down a million stairs. My ankles are sore today.

I've been catching up on my comic book reading since classes ended. I started reading Fables which is sooooo good. It might be my new favourite. If it had as much violence and T&A as the Boys it would for sure be my new favourite.

We'll have our internet set up on the 12th!! Yay! No internet is the worst. I can't even check the whether before I decide what to wear in the morning.

Almost on a boat...

I've just joined  Empire Avenue, which seems like a fun interesting way to kill more time at work!
EAVB_BBJGRGDDXCWe had a game in Toronto last weekend, so much fun! Went to my first major league baseball game, and the Blue Jays actually won!
I also got kicked off a boat (the Captain Matthew Flinders), went to a party full of girls in their underpants, spent too much money and WE WON OUR GAME!!

Getting back into getting back into getting back into you.

So I recently moved to a new office, which is awesome. I have windows and I don't have to smell the dirt dish water of the hospital cafeteria! The only downside is it's a long elevator ride and far away from the other parts of the hospital which I visit and work in frequently.

I am also moving to a new apartment!! I AM SO EXCITED. As fun as living in what is essentially a frat house is it's really hard to get anything school related done and I always feel confined to mine and Tyler's bedroom. It pretty much has never felt like my home so I'm really looking forward to having more of my own personal space, since the two of us are getting a two bedroom I will have somewhere to do homework in the middle of the nigth and bug Tyler.

I have so many games coming up! One on the 17th (a round robin with our 3 teams) and a game in TORONTO on May 1st, the championship after that, Victoria in June and RAT CITY in July. Very very exciting stuff!!

Classes are over but I have exams right up until the 27th! I have a fuckload of assignments to finish within the next week and a half. Aye aye aye aye....

Also might have to get a part-time serving job for a bit since moving and going to Toronto are so expensive..
