I'm Sara: a Danzig, Morrissey, and cupcake-obsessed 26-year-old straight-edge vegan lady living in Brooklyn, NY. I am also a roller derby enthusiast and am training to hopefully become a member of the Gotham Girls league... at some point. Follow me as I post reflections on being a sober vegan athlete in this crazy competitive world, recipe successes & failures, and pictures of a shirtless Glenn Danzig. And I thought that getting into NYU was a challenge!

Why Cory Monteith Matters.

My back-from-the-dead post isn’t about derby, or baking, or being a vegan athlete. It’s about addiction.

See, Cory Monteith’s death this weekend shook me, just as Heath Ledger’s death did back in 2008. Most people laugh at celebrity overdoses, but they…

Okay, I Suck.

… at updating!

Life has been absolutely crazy over the past week, in the absolute best way. I started my new production job the Thursday before last, and I must say that I am really happy that I decided to stay in this insane world. While I don’t see…

Introduction.

Hi there! Gone are the days of sappy introductions. My name is Sara, and I am a Danzig-loving, cupcake-baking, derby-skating straight-edge vegan lady living in Brooklyn, NY. I’m currently in the processing of moving my content over from Tumblr, as I…

I Got Something To Say! (Or, Sara Rants About People Who Don't Show Initiative)

I Got Something To Say! (Or, Sara Rants About People Who Don’t Show Initiative)

I got home from training around noon last Saturday, March 9th, and I have to admit, I was feeling kind of frustrated. I can’t do the beginning of a crossover (or, as my coaches call it, “scrape the poo”) for my life. I know this will come with time, as…

Another Saturday, Another Practice.

Once I woke up after allowing Brody Dalle to scream in my ears during my 20-minute bus ride to the practice space (it is way too cold to bike, and I need to get my gears replaced anyway), today’s practice was great– probably the best so far. The majority…

Backward Skating: 1, Sara: 0

Coke bottles are the fucking worst.

The second hour of this morning’s practice was pretty much a review of all of the skills that we’ve learned since the first week. A lot of knee drops, controlled falls, crossovers, three-point falls, and toe-stop…

Morning Complaint, and Dehydration.

I believe that my hatred of mornings and inability to be a morning person has been pretty well-established on this here blog. Nothing could have planted this seed any deeper than my absolutely horrid night’s sleep last night; so horrid, in fact, that I…

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder.

I apologize for my absence! The past few days have been nothing short of very busy, yet exciting. I saw Nick Cave perform live at the Beacon Theatre (greatest performance ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkoVXFZyX1U), went to a Bad Religion show,…
