Blondie BackstabHer

I always find ways to make my parents and friends proud, and my latest endeavor is sure to have my loved ones beaming with pride. While not as controversial as my previous endeavor,  it is bound to raise some eyebrows among those with moral compasses. Or something. Or not.

ROLLER DERBY!

I originally toyed with the idea of trying out for it back in the fall but thought you needed skating experience and, obviously, I have none. On Tuesday night, however, I went to a friend’s house to watch a movie and some of her friends who were there are actually Atlanta Rollergirls. They informed me that you didn’t need experience because everything will be taught to you. And of course I got totally giddy. Have you seen the outfits they wear? We know how I feel about dressing up. Mainly, I just like the striped socks. I’m not kidding either.

Naturally, the first thing I thought about was what my name should be. I had previously thought of a name, Hellen Wheels, but apparently there are rules regarding names and another girl in Tuscon has the name Helen Wheels, and I’d have to get permission, blah blah blah. Too much work if you ask me. So I went on teh interwebs to find a roller derby name generator and typed in my real name. Out popped Blondie BackstabHer. No really. Thinking it was a coincidence, I tried again using my first name only. Blondie Affliction. My first name actually generates the name Blondie. WEIRD. Its like it was meant to be!

Of course I’ll have to pass the try out before I can really start thinking of a name. Luckily for me, they aren’t until September, so I’ll have plenty of time to strap on some skates and get my butt in shape.

In completely random news, has anyone visited the site www.modcloth.com? It’s my new favorite place. I heart.
