ever since i saw that movie Whip It i started thinking, i'd like to try roller derby. i know its the craziest thing ever! especially because i'm SUCH a wuss! but i always loved roller skating as a kid. these days i'm so heavy and have such bad balance its hard for me to do things like that. but i thought the girls in the movie were so cool and so bad ass. i'd love to be bad ass like that. i've always had an inner badass inside me just dying to get out. i don't know if i could handle all the roughness but it might be fun to try to toughen up a little.
anyway that would be a challenge for me. i would love to, once i lose enough weight and have the balance and the energy, i would love to just try the roller derby thing. its crazy right? but something tells me it would be fun. so...why not right? and no one, especially my husband, thinks i can do it. i'd love to prove everyone wrong.
if i could , i'd be there holding your hand! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Meli!!! Me too! I have been toying with the idea for the last year or so. There's these chikas here by where I live and I have them on myspace & facebook and they always post for their tryouts & practices and I have been dying to go check it out. BUT the weight keeps me from going. That is one thing I am def. doing as soon as I get me some weight off. How cool is that, another thing we have in common other than the band hehe!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to be all crazy like that. Oh I can just imagine me my in laws as it is say I am too crazy for my own good. I have always wanted to have my hair died all crazy colors and get more tattos lol. Meli we have to do this ok. :)
I loved that movie!!! and I think you can do anything that you put your mind to.... We are overcoming something that millions of people struggle with... obesity, so why not, roller derby? I just wanna watch it, do they have it near you? I will drive down to cheer you on... Go Meli!!! Or what will your derby name be? Think about the name while you lose the weight... *Maria*
ReplyDeleteI am right there with ya actually! I really want to do it, I looked up roller derby in my city and they have it, but their try out were last month, but I figure I will just wait til the next time they come around, get in even better shape and probably grow some balls and I will try out!!! I think it will be fun and a good work out, but its really dangerous too!!
ReplyDeletehaha you guys are soooo cute! thanks for the words of encouragement! its nice to know i'm not the only one who feels this way. i feel like i could go on MTV's MADE. lol. housewife wants to be made into a roller derby girl. lol.
ReplyDeletemaria they do have a league or whatever its called here. i knew a guy who's girlfriend did it. and you're right, i have to think of a good roller derby name. good thing i have time to think of a good one! it would be cool if we all started one together. :)
You should check out Neglected Foster Child's blog "Antithesis of Barbie." She is also into roller derby and could maybe answer any questions you have!
ReplyDeleteI freakin' LOVE roller derby! I go see the local team, the Gold Coast Derby Grrrls, as often as I can. So much fun!
