Stars- Your Ex Lover is Dead
I’m not sorry I met you
I’m not sorry it’s over
I love this song. And it is perfect for how I am currently feeling.
Two of my fav ladies ever ♥A little something to get you through our offseason
We special ordered them those hoodies (before WE even had the design for sale). They are cute…the girls and the hoodies :)
It's done.
We broke up.
I’m sad and upset and relieved and distraught and…just really sad. He is my best friend. I love him so much. But we can’t make it work. So that’s that.

A look at the changing athleticism aspect of roller derby.

I hear a lot of complaints about Oly upping the derby game … but I’m proud of that. Derby skaters have been complaining for a LONG TIME that people characterize derby as just fishnets and sex on wheels … we’re always yelling “BUT IT’S A SPORT! WE’RE ATHLETES!” And now Oly comes along and proves that derby excellence can be achieved without tattoos, fishnets, or crazy track antics. How can we complain about that?
We can’t talk out of both sides of our mouth here. I’m excited that Oly raised the level of competition. Next stop? Derby in the X Games.
When do you think that becomes more about conformity and loses the rebellious essence Roller Derby was reborn in? You can have athleticism with tattoos and fishnets and “antics”.
Oh, I definitely think there’s room for all that stuff. I’m just making the argument that they’re no less “derby” without them.
You can pry my fishnets out of my cold, dead hands.
My friend called me the day after she saw the Oly win and said “Derby is changing. Teams are going to start recruiting athletes.” Reading this made me realize how true it is. And it’s already happening in our league. The best new skaters are the ones who have been athletes for all their lives. This comes so easily to them (damn me for not playing sports as a child!), I am honestly jealous of how easily it comes. But, they still wear the fishnets, have the tattoos and love the after-parties :)

Facebook friend turns into Big Brother →
University of Wisconsin-La Crosse student Adam Bauer has nearly 400 friends on Facebook. He got an offer for a new one about a month ago. “She was a good-looking girl. I usually don’t accept friends I don’t know, but I randomly accepted this one for some reason,” the 19-year-old said.
He thinks that led to his invitation to come down to the La Crosse police station, where an officer laid out photos from Facebook of Bauer holding a beer — and then ticketed him for underage drinking.
The police report said Bauer admitted drinking, which he denies. But he did plead no contest in municipal court Wednesday and will pay a $227 fine.
He was among at least eight people who said Wednesday they had been cited for underage drinking based on photos on social networking sites.
Christ.
Jesus Luz.
This is why I refuse to accept friend requests from people that I don’t know. Not that I’m remotely underage, haha. But I don’t want people spying on me or my picture or my info. You never know what they are up to.
