*blue balls not included.
No wRECk practice this week, as I had tickets to see David Sedaris in Akron. Thanks again to Cleveland Magazine!
I made up for it by heading to Pla-mor in Euclid on Thursday to watch the Burning River Roller Girls practice then stick around for a two-hour open skate. Whew, boy. Skating rink for open skate is certainly different. I couldn’t practice skills or falls…
You know how odd it feels with a rink full of “open skaters” to be fully dressed in protective gear? Hilar.
Especially when you fall.
All embarrassment and horrible memories of figure skating aside, it was a good time to work on my speed, endurance, sprinting (yes, in skates) and crossovers.
Also, I cannot skate backwards like everyone else in Euclid.

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.
