A New Hobby

Recently I've been having a bout of high school nostalgia (although I can't really imagine why, high school sucked...). Mostly I think I miss playing sports. I've also come to realize I need more social interaction in my life beyond animals and Randy.
So I've decided to try Roller Derby.

Yup, roller derby!

But this isn't your average roller derby league... this is the Renegade Rollergirls of Tucson! A no rules, no wussies, no holds barred league. Established in Phoenix, the league has grown to 7 teams, half of which reside in California. Last Saturday Randy and I attended a bout (that's roller derby speak for "game") between Tucson and LA at rrot's practice rink. It was tamer than I expected, but looked like a blast none the less. I met with one of girls to get some more information on joining and on Friday attended my first practice. I'm looking at borrowing some gear from their loner selection to start, hopefully I'll be on skates giving it a try this Friday!

Wish me luck!
