Bad blogger

I knooow, I've been a bad blogger lately but I have been super busy. Between work an practice and coaching and bouting I've barely had enough time to sleep.

I didn't even have time to turn 30, cause I was bouting that day ;p

But I'm fine and happy and healed, part from some minor kinks from a kickback last scrimmage.

And I did celebrate my birthday the weekend after. My sister came down from Stockholm and had her first derby lesson! She was really good for her first time, the brat didn't even fall! (Insert painful flashbacks to my own first bambi-moments on skates where I tasted more than a fair ammount of asphalt)

Then we had the fresh meat kickoff and I got myself a new derby sister. Our family tree is fuckin fab! There was karaoke and I even got to see my fiancee sing Lady Marmalade with the other official boys.

As for this week I have already managed a killer workout at Viljan, TT training, gymming, skating to the train at 6 am and tonight we have B team meeting and then I'm gonna swing me some kettlebells before going to bed. Tomorrow there's an International day for Women's Rights demo, then practice with the Raging Ravens, Saturday = 3 hrs of Fresh Meat coaching and then scrimmage on Sunday.
Did I mention I barely have time to breathe?

Ill = getting shit done...?

Yeah so I've been down with the flu right after having popped my knee which has meat that I've been home sick from work. The first couple of hours I was dead bored, then I realized that I had some tasks for the website piled up. So I finally got around to it. Jay!
And I have had plenty of time to plan and organize my return to the center circle, as I am gonna be training the freshies this weekend! It's actually a more exiting feeling than I thought it would be. I guess once a coach, always a coach no matter what sport or level you're at. ;p

MOVED!!!

Jaaay so we have finally moved!
Krakel and I are now living in the southern metropolis of Crime City! I feels like it's been forever since we started looking for apartments here so to actually be sitting here in a mess of moving boxes is surreal.
Sorgenfri is my new hood and I couldn't be happier! I'm close to vegan pizza, night-open stores, bus stops Thorn and Friggy! ^__^

Helltown - fuck you and goodbye!

Night of the Rolling Dead!

Ok so the Night of the Rolling Dead Hallowheel-party was off the hook!

One bathroom flooded before 11, fire alarm after midnight and so much madness going on = awesome party! However I managed to slip and fall in my high heels and since I'm a well programmed derby girl - I shot my knee out under me. This is all fine and good if you're wearing pads, but with no pads on it means a swollen knee and one completely useless leg.
But at last I looked awesome doing it ;p

And everyone had such FANTASTIC costumes on!

Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter & Wonder Woman

Tussi, Hellena and I

Pre-bout jitters!

Misse and I are sitting here at our amazing host and drinking coffe and doing mental preparation for our bout this afternoon.
This is my first real bout ever, and I'm miles away from home. No fiancé, no family, none of my old friends are here to cheer me on. It's more than just a little scary I tell you...
But Ami and Kevin are gonna be cheering for me, and all the girls if Bestelaget are so sweet and supportive so I'm not alone in any sense. And I can't really do any more than my best.

Now we're off for dinner with the rest of the girls and then off to the venue we go.

T-6 hours!

Note to self

• Day before scrimmage - do NOT binge on fudge! Sugar hang-overs suck ass! Spiking blood sugar and crashing bad mid jam is NO GOOD.
• Padrash is teh suck. I should wear long sleeves. I get so whiney over padrash I feel like I 3 year old. I can be rammed by Pookie so hard my hip goes crunch, but one tiny velcro scratch and I whine for days. 
• Do more cardio, and don't do leg workouts day before scrimmages. Dumbass.

So this Sundays scrimmage was so much fun! The Barcelona gang scrimmed together, but our jammers were removed (to give us tougher competition). And I got to jam! Getting the lead jammer whistle and seing the jam ref pointing at you is such a rush! ^____^ And so is scoring! Counting those hips as you pass them makes you forget all about your spaghetti-legs!

I have got some amazing ladies on the team and I learn SO much every single time I get on the track! 

LOVE LOVE LOVE derby! <3

One thing thou... the faces you make in pictures are the worst. "Derbyfaces" makes me look like a sad, confused baby. I mean look at me! (yellow helmet). Well, at least I can laugh at myself. XD

Blues swept away

Aaaaand all my blues are swept away, 'cause I'm on the roster for Barcelona, baby!

Sun, Spain and DERBY! And I'm gonna be bouting with a whole bunch of my home-team-mates! *happydance*

October sixth - CCR is gonna crush Ingles de Acero!
