I want to be a Roller Derby Girl

I am obsessed with roller derby girls. But, I have never gone to a roller derby. So why the obsession?

They are bold, bad-asses.

They aren’t afraid of being who they are and get to wear really cool outfits. They are unique and creative – just check out the Web site for our local team, the Windy City Rollers: www.windycityrollers.com. They are the world’s true feminist: no worry about being feminine, no fear of being aggressive and even violent. And not to mention athletic!!

I want to be a Roller Derby girl.

I met one a few weeks ago and I was in AWE. She was very laid back – but you could tell she could kick your ass. She was smart, cool, trendy – oh, and a lawyer. If a lawyer could be a roller girl – can’t a chick who works for the church?

After all, I have some pent-up anger I could really take out on the track. I’ve got bony elbows (thought I learned today you are not supposed to use elbows).  I am creative enough to come with with a bad-ass name. What about Crashing Cinderella? Bareback bad ass? notoriously neked? violent violet? vengeful vains?

And I really want the outfit.

Also, I want people to think I am bad ass. I want drive FEAR into the people at work – I want to be intimidating.

I know that people have thought that I am a woos my whole life, but I really can be pretty tough. My mom would vouch for that!

Maybe I should just start with going to a match and see what its all about…
