new things I am doing

[aphrodite_mine]

On livejournal:

--> intoabar: Pick a character who walks into a bar, get assigned a random character from a fandom of your listing who they meet. Write a fic about it. Gen, het, fem... whatever. Signups are open. (Also on DW)

--> femslash_planet: I'm on team sweeps. Having a stupid amount of fun so far and all I've done is plan a project and do a wordsearch.

RP:

Playing as Bianca from Degrassi. Love me some conflicted feelings, and hello powerplay. (Yes, I ship her with Adam, and yes, I'd probably ship her with anyone, given the screen time. But not Alli. Bleh.)

IRL:

::crickets:: OH YEAH WE PLAYED OUR FIRST BOUT. IT WAS AWESOME AND WE LOST SO HARD BUT IT WAS THE BEST DAY EVER.

i'm so glad it was the best day ever, despite your loss. but hey, it was your first bout! congrats to YOU for making it all happen in the first place! i'm going to check out my new roller girl team this weekend. the rubber city rollergirls, lol. we're playing my hometown of dayton, too so i'm totally excited.

also, i love your tag for degrassi. lol!

[aphrodite_mine]

Hah! That sounds sweet! A little far for our current "no-bus" budget, but still on the radar.

HI. I added you. I hope you don't mind :)

[theroyal_e]

well, if you guys at some point play cincinnati or dayton on a weekend, just let me know because i could more than likely drive down for that bout and root for you, despite you playing against my hometown. ;)

[aphrodite_mine]

No worries. Adding you back.

Ooh, that intoabar idea sounds kinda fab. Shall have to go have a look.

HERE'S HOPING YOUR NEXT BOUT IS EQUALLY AWESOME BUT FAR MORE SUCCESSFUL :D
(And LOL at them being called 'bouts'. It sounds so violent :D)

interjecting!

It sounds so violent

that's because they are, which is why they're so awesome! :D

Well, my only knowledge of roller derby comes from seeing the trailer of Whip It (which I shall have to see some time. It looks kinda fab). Derby's not a big thing in the UK. It looks a lot of fun though :D

[aphrodite-mine.livejournal.com]

As for the violence? Coming away from the first game, my league has had (and this is in 6 months):

- broken ankle
- broken wrist
- contused ass
- severe hematoma
- thought was broken but wasn't broken but needed crutches ankle
- nearly broken wrist
- sprained shoulder

And those are just the hospital visits :D

Whip it is a fun movie but they break nearly every rule in the game. You're better off watching games on derbynewsnetwork.com if you can get it to load on your computer.

I'm of the mind that winning and losing don't matter when you're KICKING ASS and knocking some bitches down.

I'd totes send the team a fruit basket or something but, you know. Kind of hard to know where to send something to a team.

Depending on your cable, the lesser ESPNs occasionally have derby stuff at, like, 2 am.

Just a little thing, but femslash_planet is the social comm. femslash_land is the main comm. :)

CONGRATS ON YOUR FIRST BOUT!! THAT SOUNDS AWESOME!! I want pics!

[aphrodite-mine.livejournal.com]

Oh blah blah, same thing.

What team are you on, traitor? :P

They are on facebook!

[aphrodite-mine.livejournal.com]

LOL. It would be like Piranha 3D up in there.

Re: interjecting!

[prunesquallormd.livejournal.com]

Cool. I'll have a looksee some time :)

Re: interjecting!

[prunesquallormd.livejournal.com]

I'm largely cable free! I mostly still only watch the 5 main UK channels, and lots of DVDs. I'm still very intrigued by derby though, so I'll have to track some channels down online :)

D: D: D:
That's a pretty scary list!
But still, I suppose the risk of broken bones kinda makes it more enjoyable :D
