Yay for me! ...40 minutes...

Today I went to practice at 3:30 instead of 4:00 since I heard from the coach that I would have to sit through an airing of the grievances at 5:30....

So from 3:36 to 4:16 I went round and round...awesome..god I love to skate!

Once everyone arrived we did more cones, and scissors, and cannonballs....I really can't wait for the new skates..I adore my current skates...but with so few good bearings in the wheels I am doing all the work...We finished at 5:30.....AND THEN....the meeting...

I guess I haven't been on the team long enough to sense any tension - but boy I guess there has been some between certain girls...The grievances seem to have been about one girls wants others to help the other skaters and to act more like a team. Another grievance had to to with the team's myspace page...I guess some girls who are friends who joined had some issue with the graphic used on the myspace page...As it turns out the team voted on some sort of female skater logo which is going to be a logger...yes..a logger...I can't think of anything less related to roller derby and not sure why some girls jobs get to determine the logo..but hey like in America it was voted on and lame or not, it passed....Frankly this area was founded in gold mining and not logging...but whatever..I don't identify with that logo and I hope it doesn't impede my team spirit....

All in all I love skating so much that I just want to have fun and this 'clucking' as the coach called it is of little interest to me...

Roll.The. Fuck. On... :)
