Tug On This

Today was weird.

I woke up at like noon because I think Pat called me but I didn't get to the phone in time so I just wandered to take a shower then headed over to Wash U to bring Michi her lunch. I took my skates with me just because like Sulky has admitted, watching Rollergirls on A&E has gotten me into skating again. Actually it's really good because I've been trying to lose weight but I fucking hate exercise and I really hate running but skating? Skating is all good. I even managed to locate my fucking grey ghost skates which are so bad ass and totally great to skate with. I've been using them for outdoor skating and technically they're indoor speed skates. I'm debating on buying a pair of cheap outdoor skates to do my skating in the park and on the campus but I don't think I will. Grey ghost can deal. Here's the skates that I'm talking about:

See? Yeah, bad ass. Anyway, the stops on these skates are so fucking tiny. I've totally forgotten how to adjust the stops so I can put them lower down on the skates. I'll have to call my friends in LA who are still involved with Derby there and ask them about that. They'll fucking make fun of me for forgetting though. Bitches! lol. Whatever though. I guess I can ask their opinion on using those skates for outdoors or getting a cheap outdoor pair.

But I skated over to Wash U with Michi's lunch and I was surprised how easily I got back into the general skill level of skating. It's fun stuff. Have to stay low to the ground though. It was hilarious to roll into her department with a little basket of food. Her colleagues totally didn't know what to think. lol. I swear to god, I think Michi only wants me to get involved with Roller Derby just so she can invite her colleagues to bouts and freak them out. She's evil that way.

I did another phone interview with the Willows Way people who run a home for the developmentally disabled. I really want to get a job with them or the other place I interviewed with. We'll see how that goes. But while I was skating around and talking to them on my cell phone in the park I skated past this chick with dyed blue hair and I totally didn't pay attention to her but then seconds later I'm like, not jerked to a stop, but slowed down and I look back and the chick is holding onto my t-shirt. Vlad is jumping all over her and I'm still talking to the HR guy on the phone. Our phone call ends and I put my phone in my pocket and I'm staring at her and am like, "You tugged on my shirt."

Her response to that was to burst into laughter and she goes, "You don't recognize me."

More staring and me repeating, "You tugged on my shirt."

She shakes her head and exclaims, "Nic! It's Heather! We dated in Chicago for a month."

Yet more staring and me saying slowly, "Yeah..."

Haha. I'm an asshole, right? But I ended up remembering her eventually. I have no idea why we broke up but she seems to have a way better relationship memory than me. I think I block out stuff. But she hung out with me for the rest of the afternoon as I skated around and played with Vlad in the park. It was disturbing to have yet another ex-gf of mine show up and they remember me but I don't remember them. I wonder why that is? Huh.

I've seen episode five of the new L Word season and it's pretty good. Lard is done and over though. I was happy that it had good Helacious content. They're super adorable in this episode and while I'm not sure I like Helena with Dylan I do think Helena is cute with Dylan. She gives those huge ass happy grins when they're making out and I find myself charmed by that for some reason. Dana is just really sad in this episode, especially when she's crying during the Lard sex scene at the end of the episode. It's hard to read what's going on in that group scene at The Planet though. It's odd but the more I watch of the new season the more I think Danish will get back together and Dana won't end up dying. Which makes me wonder if I should change my fanfic plot for All The White Horses. Originally I was like, fuck no don't change it.

But now I'm wondering if I should. Just because I HATE not writing according to the series canon, you know? I think it's my residual self hatred from writing It Starts With Faith which is really alternate universe and me just not liking that series at all anymore and sort of resenting that's what most people know my fanfic from. Yeah, I have fucking mental issues. I hate my fanfic. lol. But I think all dykes are a tiny bit self loathing. Oh fuck that. All people are tiny bits self loathing. Or large bits self loathing.

Rollergirls new episode got delayed by the Flight 93 movie. Stupid depressing ass shit. The new episode amused me because Catalac wants to join the Rhinestone Cowgirls because supposedly they're a really supportive team and the Hellcats aren't and blah blah. So there's this great scene where Catalac is talking to Lux about this and Lux is like, "Yeah. The Rhinestone Cowgirls have a great team camaraderie and I don't think bringing you in would be good. I've seen you yell at your teammates when you're jamming and we don't really do that sort of thing. I think you would be bad for our team." And Catalac is all, "Are you sure you're not thinking of Luna?" And Lux is, "Nooo. It was you."

I was amused by it because Catalac is totally verbally abusive to the other people on her team and for as serious as she claims to take Roller Derby for her to want to switch teams because hers is having some issues? That's fucking lame as hell. So it was fucking cool for Lux to turn her down. lol. I was happy about that one. It was a decent episode but not the best but I probably only think that since it didn't involve the Holy Rollers who are my favorites on and off the track. I will say that Witch Baby is hilarious as fuck in the game. I was amused when she got put in the time out for a major penalty she immediately went over there. lol. Just like, "Yeah yeah. I know I had a foul."

Actually, Witch Baby is pretty hot too. Hmm. I only pay attention to the Holy Rollers so I never noticed that before. She gets tons of fouls and stuff in that bout though. A lot of the Rhinestone Cowgirls do, in fact. I guess the bout was good. Too much focus on Catalac's life though. I could care less about her.

ETA: I also found out that all of the local Suncoast locations are closing. Suck ass, right? I'm going to stop by to visit Gay Chris at the South County location tomorrow during his shift. I knew business wasn't doing that well but I didn't think all of the locations were closing down. It's a bummer.
