the Sexpos are victorious

So my first game was AWESOME! The Montreal Sexpos kicked some serious ass. Tri-City Thunder put up a good fight, but we just fought harder. All the training and the double derby practice sundays really paid off. We played together very nicely.

We won 112 to 50. And of course, we won the after party. No one parties like Montreal derby girls. And the at the after after party, we definately left an impression...

t-shirt making madness

Stayed up late last night making Montreal Sexpos' t-shirts for a few of the people who will be coming to see the bout in Kitchener this weekend. I'm so very pleased with how well they turned out. I wish I'd made one for myself also. The detail work on the t-shirts caused my shoulders to tense up something fierce and today they hurt like a bitch. Lets hope the pain subsides by Saturday. Not that I'd sit the game out if my shoulders hurt a little. I like to think I'm a little more hardcore than that.

My level of excitement about this weekend is growing with every second. My uniform is tits. I even score some blue and red hockey tape to tape up my skates and pads.

first bout jitters

I've been practicing with the B-team these last few weeks. I'm starting to feel less lost when scrimaging. And this Saturday, I will be playing my very first bout. I'm super excited because I really don't want to wait until April (when the season starts up again) to play, but I'm absolutely terrified because Saturday is just so damn soon. I'm going to lose my roller derby virginity. Thinking about it too much sends shivers down my spine.

I'm feeling more and more like a real derby girl every day. I've got my crew of newbies who have now become really good friends. But I'm also getting to know a lot of the veterans much better. And the 7 or so hour drive to Kitchener with a couple of the girls from the B-team ought to help me get to know more people better. Its great to feel like I'm part of the league as opposed to being some shy little girl who's testing out the rollin' waters.

I'm also pretty pumped about the afterparty that will follow my very first bout. Win or lose, the montreal derby girls party like no one else.

I love my life.
