bloody hell

so i was invited to participate in a nice skate around the lake this morning with my lovely captain ophelia pain, and my just as lovely teammate waylon anya. so first i overslept, then it took me forever to get the kids ready and rushed out the door at the exact time i was suppose to be showing up. then, when we try to change my wheels to the brand spanking new pink outdoors i purchased, my skate tool won't fit down inside to tighten the nut.

oh and it doesn't end there. my sunglasses broke right off of my face and then i forgot to put my knee pads on before i put my skates on. in a state of absolute frustration, i said f* it, i don't care let's just get this show on the road. we must have skated 3, maybe even 4 miles and then the last 100 yard before we reach the parking lot, i'm going down a hill and over a bridge. moving faster than i anticipate, the seam where the concrete sidewalk meets the bridge is glaring at me. my brain says "jump"! my feet say "nope"! and this is the result. note the gaping hole left by a sharp rock and the freakish resemblence the entire wound bears to a smiley face.

i love roller derby.
