Ordered my skates! They’ll be here in about 5 days. I’m excited!
Naptown Roller Girls
More seriously thinking about trying out for roller derby. The skates are a bit pricy to buy, but my mom said she’s loan me most of the money.
I emailed the lady in charge and she gave me the dates of the pre-tryout practices. If I decide to go through with it and buy the skates and pads, I’m going to go to the February practice (and the others after that). And practice skating every...

i swear to god,
the girl sitting next to me in my gym lecture yesterday was drinking white wine out of a Nalgene bottle.
My kind of girl.
A belated new years/new life resolution:
Stay away from crazies.
Seriously. There are sweet, loyal, witty, intelligent, attractive, SANE ladies and dudes I could be gettin’ with (so to speak: dating, pursuing relationships with, etc). But I always choose the crazies.
So this is my resolution: no more crazies.

“When I was a girl, my life was music that was always getting louder. Everything moved me. A dog following a stranger. That made me feel so much. A calender that showed the wrong month. I could have cried over it. I did. Where the smoke from the chimney ended. How an overturned bottle rested at the edge of a table. I spent my life learning to...
swimnastic tastic!
One of the most exciting parts about my Swimnastics/water aerobics class is that afterwards, I get to use Suave Kids Chlorine Remover shampoo. They had no adult products for swimming, presumably since it’s January and no reasonable adult swims in January. It is bright orange and smells like my childhood summers. Also the scent name is “Flippin’ Citrus Squirt”, which sounds...
it's not you, it's me
Note to self: don’t join a church group, befriend a couple of members on facebook, then have a crisis of faith and stop going. They will politely harass the crap out of you to try to get you to come back.

Highlight of the day
Watching my roommate use a high heeled boot as a hammer to put together a bookshelf.
I absolutely love this article and recommend reading it to everyone, even though it’s a little long-winded.
It’s about one of the things that I hate the most, which is rape jokes, and when people use the word rape to describe something that is not rape. I.e.: that test raped me, dude!
Here is an excerpt.
For those of you who wonder why rape victims get all super sensitive about rape...
ranting and raving about faith
I’m at a weird place right now with faith.
I used to be deeply religious, but I am not anymore. Part of that came from the perceived rejection by the faith communities I was involved in when it became clear that I was a big old lesbian (or, at least, a big old technically bisexual mostly lesbian—that’s up for debate too). I could write volumes about the conflicts I feel, and...

My phone (currently functioning as an alarm clock) died in the middle of then night and I missed my first two classes of the semester. FUCK EVERYTHING.
Not a great start, but I’m determined to make this a good semester if it kills me!
A classmate of mine from the Academy, Jessica Wantz, died today in a sledding accident. I wasn’t close with her, but she was best friends with my ex-girlfriend’s roommate, so I was around her a lot. She was so hilarious and full of life. A classmate from Yorktown also died recently, Mitch Raper. It’s so sad and so scary when people my age die.
Life is so precious and so...

I want to be a Naptown Roller Girl so bad.
Don’t judge me. I could do it!! I’m going to get in shape, practice skating, and then try out over the summer.
