After posting my week 1 spar in the Roller Girl diaries, I have received various messages from family members about Brynn.  She is getting so big and so incredibly rotten.

SO…

I took a few pictures this evening and thought I would post them for those family members who are missing out on LOTS of amazing, incredibly rotten moments.

We miss you all and love you TONS!!

Yesterday was such a glorious day, it has taken me all of today to soak it all in. Most of you that don’t already know, Wednesday I do a weekly podcast on BlogTalkRadio for AZoverload.  The show is basically for site news, local calendar, and we allow bands to call in and promote their shows - we also showcase local music.

I had an awesome NY band call in, The Gay Blades, who will be here for EdgeFest the end of the month, and the lovely Kamakazi Kiwi from the AZ Derby Dames called in.

This was an awesome chance for me to ask a few questions about the upcoming try-outs and see if I could make it as a new recruit.  If you get the chance click the link below and listen. 

AND…yes I did ask if tryouts were like fight club, and if it would be to my advantage to wear glasses.

***This post contains explicit language… mom don’t read it.***As part of my training to try out to be one of AZ’s Derby Dames I thought it would be appropriate to incorporate a weekly spar.  I have never got in a knock-down-drag-out, so this is going to be fun.  Most people who have met me would probably classify me as “one of the nicest people” they have ever met.  I can’t help it.

BUT….

Today I have shed that “nice girl” persona.  Today I picked a fight with a total stranger:

After I took big kids to school this morning, Brynn and I took a stroll around the neighborhood to see if we could find some fresh meat.

“Hey You!” I shouted to this very interesting looking woman

“I’m about to KICK… YOUR… ASS!” - I am such a badass I swear.

She was scared.  I could tell by the look on her face.  For a moment, I felt badly and couldn’t imagine doing such a horrid thing, but I got over it.  One incredibly amazing round house, and she was down.

That first blow was awesome, and my adrenaline was pumping.  I immediately starting wailing on her… kicking, pounding, and lots of noogies.She was spent, and my posse looked on with disgust.

Brynn didn’t approve.  Vaguely I remember hearing her scream “No! No! No!” but I was like a machine… just wailing away on this meager passer by… TOTALLY HARDCORE!

My partner lie smashed to hell, but who cares! I totally kicked her ass.

I beat you!  BITCH!!!

What do you think of me now?

That’s right!  Bad Ass moves and the attitude to match.  I am getting closer to my goal.2 months and 3 weeks to go.

*above sparring partner will make it into next week recycling for those of you environmentally conscious*
