*blue balls not included.
I swear that I used to know how to do this. This, being the assurance that I won’t die because of lack of essential dietary requirements and/or hunger itself. And I’m pretty sure in my former life that all of this involved a microwave. And a bottle of Jack Daniels. I lived on my own for years… how in the hell did I make it this... 
Pittsburgh Roller Derby fans, we’re one month away from our season opener!
Steel Hurtin’ (my team, woot!) and Blitzburgh Bombers vs. Bleeding Heartland Roller Girls
March 17, 2012 @ Romp n’ Roll (Glenshaw)
Action starts at 6.30pm
In the SCDD’s 2012 Home Opener, the Steel Hurtin’ and Blitzburgh Bombers will take on Bleeding Heartlands’ Flatliners and Code Blue Assassins, respectively.... 
And my wine with my vodka. But not really, because I’M OLD AND CANNOT HANDLE THE HANGOVERS. Ahem.
the week: Valentine’s Day was this week… you know, that holiday that I poo-poo’d. We kept on the tradition I started last year of having fondue (celebrated on Sunday, since Tuesday was a practice night for me). It was delicious. And reaffirms all I need is him and cheese and bread and... 
Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your penis.

Some background listening music for you, while I concoct my Valentine’s dessert right before your very eyes.
This is the dessert you make when you no time or no talent for baking. Or a little bit of both.
Remember when society was so fucked up IN THE 90s, female students were still required to take a class that taught them about… COOKING? And sewing. Because we all know that learning German... 
the week: all three of my cats had vet appointments. I had my annual vag tune-up. Everything is furry, tested and in working condition. WAAAAAAIIIIIIITTTT A MINUTE…
I had a Friend Date for Billy Elliot this week, which started with drinks at Andy’s and dinner at Habitat (I give good date). The musical, I adored. Oh how I laughed and squeed! For most of the production, I was high in my seat with... 
My team, the Big Bad Bowling Bunch wants to raise $600 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Pittsburgh in the Bowl for Kids’ Sake campaign. That’s our goal — it’s TOTALLY doable, friends. And you can help.
As you might know, Big Brothers Big Sisters is an organization that CHANGES THE LIFE of kids. Through the program, a child’s life is impacted in so many ways for the better, and... 
Yeah, yeah. The boyfriend is traveling this week.
This is my dinner…
“Pittsburgh BBQ” aka: Isaly’s Chipped Chopped Ham BBQ (by the bowl; I wasn’t feeling another sandwich… I KNOW! I checked my temperature. I’m fine.) and cucumbers soaked in vinegar.
Meat and veggie. Sorta healthy, right?
Definitely not... 
the week: oh, that pesky Phil saw his shadow, which means SIX MORE WEEKS of this awesome winter weather. Glass half full, guys.
It’s Friday, so here’s a cute cat picture:
Curious, this one, about EVERYTHING.
Like I am about 30 WAYS & DAYS OF MAC N’ CHEESE. Every time I think there isn’t a God…
weekend: duh, derby! Come to the Sweetheart Valentine’s Bout & Open... 
Eh, Valentine’s Day. RANT TIME.
I don’t celebrate it — and not because I’m some anti-establishment, anti-greeting card company or anti-lovey-dovey holidays… um, person — but I guess I just don’t GET it. What’s to celebrate? Date Night. Blow jobs. Maybe a vase of flowers. All the stuff you should be experiencing as one-half (or one-third, I don’t... 
the week: do you know what it’s like to exercise for 3.5 hours straight? How about that length of time for continuous play of roller derby? I can already tell that my endurance is improving — one of my goals for the season. But if you see me limping around like an old lady, showing off arms-full of bruises, YOU KNOW WHY.
*sigh* And I love every minute of it.
Underwear Afternoons?
Have you heard... 
Chachi Plays is back for Year Two!
And the money raised by this year’s 24-hour video game playing marathon will benefit two local causes: Toonseum, to start an art program for at-risk youth; and the Father Ryan Art Center in McKees Rocks.
Chachi Plays for Kids will be also be held at the Toonseum (7pm-7pm, Friday, February 10 to Saturday, February 11) in downtown Pittsburgh. The full gaming schedule... 
DERBY IS BACK, PITTSBURGH!
Come out Sunday, February 5 (4-6:30pm) to see a roller derby battle of the heart (or lack thereof) — The Hopeless Romantics vs. The Blackhearts (ahem, that’s me) in the Sweetheart Roller Derby Valentine’s Day Intraleague Bout.
$5 admission for singles (are you ready to MINGLLLLLEEEEE?!); $8 for couples of all levels of happiness (or misery). And hey, there will... 
This blog is about pursuit: a transplanted Clevelander (me) in a new city (that's you, Pittsburgh!), pursuing the role of a self-employed copywriter, becoming a roller derby badass and somehow merging all my to-do items into one ever-growing Bucket List.
And of MY boyfriend. His blue balls started this mess.
