my very own theme song

My birthday was on September 6th. And for this occasion, my darling younger brother wrote me a theme song. It was composed specifically with the intent to pump me up pre-derby bout. The tune itself is massive epic. Here are the lyrics:

Once upon a time

There lived a human being

Made of pure sweet delicious power

And she lived to fight

Kick ass with all her might

And drink your blood like it was lemonade

Her brains are made of diamonds made of gold

Her brains are made of diamonds made of gold

She is going to eat your soul

C-A-T-R-A-Z, Cat Raz!

If you took a god

And mixed it with hot lava

Stuck it in a blender with a moose

Pourred it on the open breasts

Of a hundred virgin lepers

It wouldn't even be similar to her

Her brains are made of diamonds made of gold

Her brains are made of diamonds made of gold

She is going to eat your soul

C-A-T-R-A-Z, Cat Raz! (x4)

the journey continues

Well, the journey of this aspiring derby girl is moving forward. My derby-related social circle is expanding. And the further I plunge into the derby world, the more I love it.

Last night, I scrimmaged for the very first time. It was a total blur of nerves, excitement and chaos. There was one brief moment when something just clicked inside me and I knew what I had to do. I ended up blocked the opposing jammer quite successfully. Afterwards, she even complimented me on my block. The encouragement made me feel like a million bucks. I also fell on my ass a couple times, but I was able to get back up and return to play. It was exhillirating.

In other news, I've made the B travel team. Of course, that's not much of an accomplishment because the only requirements are that you've pass minimum skills (check), you are available the weekend of the 1st game (check), you are willing (check), and you raised your hand when asked if who'd like to be on the team (check.) Still, its very exciting. This means that I will not have to wait until the beginning of the season (which starts in April) to play my first ever bout. I'll be playing a real live out of town exhibition game in just over a month. Booya! I'm totally psyched and totally terrified. Its going to be awesome.
