Monday, June 12, 2006 Night Terrors Vs. Speed Regime
Pre-bout:
-Team breakfast at Golden West. Discussed strategy, had French toast.
-French toast included bananas.
-Nasty Trick and Mexican Fury handed out the scrolling LED belt buckles they'd picked up at Lexington Market.
-Went home and began athletic preparations such as gluing rhinestones to my face.
-Performed the ritual of askiing Tracy which stockings look better w/short-shorts.
-Performed ritual of getting freaked out in the ten minutes before leaving the house. We were going to be so late!
-Arrived at rink. Rolled down windows to let everyone know that Tracy was playing "Chariots of Fire" on his i-pod.
-Tracy has "Chariots of Fire" on his i-pod.
-Ivanna E. Chabrains came over to rolled-down window and asked "Are you for real?"
-Was first Night Terror at rink.
-When we were allowed inside, I decided to forgo the ritual of standing around waiting for somebody to tell me what to do and began doing things. Sadly, the thing that most needed doing was scraping giant death traps of gum off the rink.
-Scraped gum.
-Scraped gum.
-Saw [info]whiskeypoptart in hon drag with the Hampden Charm School Cheerleaders. Scraped gum.
-Gave up on gum.
-Went to Skateland ladies lounge and BOILED my hands.
-Stretched with team. Cheeta had to yell at a bunch of photographers who were trying to get butt and crotch shots.
Bout:
-Turned left.
-Blocked others.
-Was blocked.
-Berzerker blocked the Mexican Fury to the wall, and Fury sat out, concussed for the rest of the bout.
-Somewhere in there, I blocked Psycho78 way down low and in front, fell onto one knee, and kind of got pushed around with one skate out and one knee dragging.
-Psycho78 tackled me a little bit later--when she was the jammer!
-Everybody went wild, because our jammer could just score and score.
-Seconds later, our jammer Joy Collision (Joy will tear you apart--again) received her third penalty and had to sit out, so no one could score.
-Saw bosoms at halftime burlesque show. Later found out that the cops were trying to arrest Trixie Little. Rumor?
-Although we were close for a while, by the second half we couldn't find our asses until the Speed Regime handed them to us. They beat us by 41 points, which I beleive is the amount of points we scored in total in our first bout.
-Huuuuuuugs!
-Meanwhile, the Junkyard Dolls had won by two points on the Mods, in sudden-death overtime. CLOSE game. Definitely the most exciting of the season. People were going nuts.
-Also, the world's best people came out and cheered for the Night Terrors--again! I saw Kerry, Jeremy, Brian ("Friend of Frenzy"),Meredith, (D)amanda, Justine, Mike, Kisch, Joel, Angela, Ruby (and their lovely friends who I don't know), Claire, and the lady from the bar last time who had somebody take her picture with everybody (sporting a Night Terrors t-shirt, as were many others). I'm hesitant about writing names, because I don't want to forget anybody, but I am so glad that people are coming out to these bouts. My whole team is so happy to see everybody.
Post bout:
-Was bummed.
-Told self would give self something to cry about, and so pulled self together.
-Gave heartfelt interview to some lady. When I got around to asking what publication it was for, she became evasive.
-Went to Hubcap Inn.
-Huuuuuuugs!
-Psycho 78 came over to apologize for tackling me. I asked if she was on the amends step of derby.
-Stood under the big Confederate flag with Black Diamond and talked about how we wished the afterparty was elsewhere.
-Went within ten feet of Penaltina. "Who wants to do a shot. Yes, you do!"
-Minerva Vavoom, down all season so far with a broken leg, told me I skate funny. "You look like you're plow-stopping all the way around the rink, and it's slowing you down." The horror! She's right, though. How the hell am I ever going to unlearn that?
-Couldn't sleep all night. Gave up and got up at 5:30. posted by Frenz | 6/12/2006 01:12:00 PM
