Conscientiously Objectified

So I’m a Roller Girl Now

I’ve joined the local roller derby league.  Lady Scientist, self-proclaimed klutz, and hopeful terror of the rink.  I couldn’t find the end of the movie Dick, which is what I was going for, so I’ll settle for some Abba, which, I’m pretty sure, we’ve never played at a practice.  It isn’t exactly intimidating, unless I’m the one accidentally crashing into you.

I’m in my mid-forties and I’m playing roller derby.  I need to say that a few times so that I actually believe I’m doing this.  And it is the most empowering thing I’ve done in the last 10 or so years.

By the way.  That last post?  I’m all over that shit now.
