November pain

Gothenburg roller derby really impressed me during Saturday's bout! And what a game it was, I think pretty much the whole audience were standing up and screaming during that last jam. It was also really exciting to watch West Aros Hybridz as it was their first bout, since that is what my team is working for right now. All the teams did really well, so if any of you read this - well done! :)

It was great to spend a whole day with some of the girls on my team and nice to be surrounded by rolelr derby-nerds for a whole day. The ride home consisted McDonalds, of us laughing at roller derp and one by one exclaiming "That last jam!!!" "Gothenburg!" "That was amazing!" :)

Berlin Bombshells vs Stockholm Roller Derby

OMG. OMG! OH MY GOD!

What a bout! The last 15 minutes were insane and I was jumping up and down screaming in front of the tv. I was rooting for Sthlm so I'm sad they missed out on the final but also really happy for Berlin, and so so happy I watched that bout because it was the most exciting one I've ever seen!

Why do dudes keep ruining the fun?

Got kicked out of the amazing parking garage today by a really stern old man. Damnit. And I had just gotten started too! I'm practicing with a friend tomorrow, but I don't know where to go now... Hmm.

Spent the weekend in Stockholm with friends which was looovely and relaxing! Among other things I went to a bout, Cougar Sluts vs Brass Knuckle Harlots. It was great, pretty rough and a lot of fun to watch. The speakers were really excited, which is always nice, but the dude started off by really pissing us off. He went on about how roller derby was a nice sport to watch - especially for men since the players are often scantily clad.... Whaaaaaaat? Dude, you're were being so sexist and heteronormative that you made us all barf. He also said that the players were there for the audience's sake, and maybe just a little for their own sake. Seriously?! Oh man.
