Check out my rockin’ hand bruise! Yay! I did three hours of skating today: regular practice and an hour of training with one of the vets before. And after I went out to dinner and margaritas with a friend visiting for 26 hours from Seattle and his school buddy. Hi Ian! And now I kinda wanna die. Yay!
Seriously. I’m so happy to be back skating. I wish this were a better post, but look. It’s 1am. I’m mostly just babbling out of blog-guilt anyway.
And no, I still haven’t gotten a camera yet. But I just ordered some outdoor wheels! Yay!

Buttersnatch Sundae: How’s it feeling?
Me (on my third lap around the track): It’s almost better than sex!
I’m back to (gently) skating. No words can describe how awesome it is.

Well hello there!
I haven’t had much to say since the knee incident. I’m healing up, although I got a little over-excited about how mobile I’ve become at the bout on Saturday and spent most of Sunday with my leg pearched delicately on a pillow. I am not trying out tomorrow. I am, deep down, okay with this. I could use the extra practice and have talked to one of the vets about some private training once I’m back to normal. In the meantime, I’ll be chilling with the Enforcers, the LADD reffing crew, hopefully kickin’ ass and takin’ stats.
To make up for the lack of content, please enjoy a photo from October. We got up at ass-crack o’clock one morning to head out to Topenga to try and get some photos of surfers at sunrise. I did get a few, but I really loved this sign across the street from the beach. Click the pic for a link to the set.

I, um, sprained my ankle and knee. Doing a t-stop. At a slow speed.
2-4 weeks of rest. That puts me back on skates past April 15th sub-pool tryouts.
Fuck.

I woke up in an amazing amount of pain around 4am, convinced that someone had put four very tiny elephants in my right elbow.
It’s still sore. It must be their pointy tusks.

Rick-rolling. (Look it up on Wikipedia if you need to. I’ll wait.)
It’s never funny.
Also, it may cause me to plan to slice your Achilles tendons in your sleep.
Thaaaanks.
