So while in NOLA we rented the movie Whip It, which I thought was just awesome. I bet I’d be great at roller derby. I wish they wore roller blades, not roller skates, but still. What a fantastic sport.
Anyway, watching that movie kind of rewoke all my old skate-yearning. Of course, I always played ice hockey, not inline, except for a bit during that first Fall that I knew Mike when we’d go all the time and play on the basketball court near his flat in Cambridge, but it’s close enough.
I miss playing ice hockey so much it hurts, when I think about it. Usually I just try not to think about it.
Anyway, there is a (roller) skating rink (actually, two) in the vicinity of Brisbane, and they both have both roller derby AND inline leagues! And I want to do it, so badly. The roller derby is a bit unrealistic since I don’t have roller skates etc. but it would be easy enough to pull my beloved inline skates out and dust them off… I want to skate again so badly I can taste it. I wish so much that Mike still would play with me, but he lost interest, years ago. I wish there were a court nearby like there was back in Cambridge. Only 11000 miles away now, or whatever it is.
The real problem is one of scheduling. It’s so hard to get an evening free, what with band, home group, and the like, especially now with a 3 month old baby! The games are Monday nights… maybe I could pull that, but I don’t know. Babysitting costs in Brisbane are obscene.
