Tomorrow night, LCRG’s new B team, the Violet Riots are taking on the brand-new team from Yakima, the Wine Country Crushers.
Wine Country was in the neighborhood 2 weeks ago taking on Snake Pit’s Diamond Back Dolls in a runaway bout...
this should be a thing.
Yes, please?
1961 Holiday House Trailer
Looking for a way to keep his workers busy during the January to July “Off Season,” David Holmes, president of “Harry & David” (mail-order fruit baskets and gifts) decided to have them produce a new travel trailer with a modern design. Straying from the usual “canned ham” look of the day, the design was very progressive and “space age” with googie style elements. Though they were ultra-stylish and very well made, the trailers were priced higher than the competiton. Only 200 were produced beginning in 1959 with operations ending in 1962.
David Holmes was also known for building the 1960 Geographic Model X, “”Trailer For The Rich.”

Honestly, tumblr kills me. I need one of these.
I need one of these so I can travel for Derby bouts every weekend. <3
Moose caught in a forbidden love affair...
An Experiment in Social Network networking
Hello tumblr-verse. Many apologies for the hiatus. The last 11 months have been pretty tough. I didn't get the "Dream Job" and I kinda broke down after that. Then Fall and Winter happened and everything went to shit. It's not great now, but it's getting better. I hate my current job, but it's full time, so I'm slowly making my way towards getting out of Spokane.
One of the major things that has got me through was Roller Derby. I've been doing a ton more announcing this year, including jumping in as the head announcer for a big 20-team tournament here in Spokane. With as much stress as I was feeling, I had an amazing time and I kept my cool the whole time. Somehow the Anxiety Monster stayed the *f* away the entire weekend. It was rad. Then I got a request to go announce in Canada. Sadly, I couldn't go, but I was stoked that I was asked. I also got to announce at a big tournament, where I got to meet many of my future announcer family once I get to Portland/Vancouver. I really can't wait to be able to share the mic with seasoned mouths on a regular basis. Not to mention calling plays for one of the top teams in all of Roller Derby. **SQUEE**
Long and the short of it, I feel very strongly that Roller Derby has saved my life.
But I promise that with this return I will do my best to post about things other than just Roller Derby. But there WILL be Derby!
<3
One of the Jr Leagues I announce for made this for me. I have found that I can actually tolerate kids that are involved in Derby. ;)
Ok, now to post this and see if it posts to Twitter and then on to Facebook...
Fun with our Ref pictures
Long time, no blog...
Yeah, it's been a while. I often forget the therapeutic nature of emotional dump-age in a public forum. Then again, I'd be foolish to think that many people actually read this.
Since I've been out of school for a whole quarter now, I've been focusing on trying to find gainful employment. I've managed to add a second part-time job to my schedule, however, I'm rarely getting 20 hours a week total between the two jobs. I'm still waiting for word on the "Dream Job" as they let me know that they aren't making a decision until after the 4th. I feel like everything is up in the air 'til then. If I do get the job, that means *at least* one more year in Spokane, and I can quit the job at LaundroHell. If I don't get the job, I'm going to start making plans to move west by Fall. I hope to make this happen by ditching both PT jobs for Temp work till I have the funds to get the fuck out of Spokane.
I guess I just generally feel like I've overstayed my welcome here. Perhaps I'm being too sensitive, but I've realized that the vast majority of my friendships are terribly one-sided. Back before I ran out of money, and still felt reasonably social, I invested all kinds of time and energy in relationships with people that made very little to no effort in return. I'd invite people to all kinds of functions and many couldn't even bother responding to the invite, or worse, they'd say they were going, and then not show. Yet these were the very same people who wouldn't hesitate to let me know if they needed my help with something.
I guess some friendships you just *grow out* of. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the same person I was when I first moved over here. Some of that is due to my anxiety issues, but some is on account of being burned by people I once considered close friends. I've grown out of going out to bars several times a week. I can't afford it, and I frankly have no desire to put up with drunk strangers on a regular basis.
And don't get me wrong, there are a small handful of people in my life right now that I continue to adore with every ounce of my being. I will continue to drop everything for these people. And I am confident that they will continue to tolerate my particular brand of Crazy. And I love them for it. They get to be on my Apocalypse Survival Team. :)

C'mon Washington friends, let's make some calls and send some e-mails! Everyone should be allowed to make the biggest mistake of their lives! :D
Socks and Laundrodrama
It's financial aid check time again, and as per usual, there are a million things I want to buy. A mixer, a vaporizer, clothes, etc... Well, being that this will be the last financial aid check I get until at least next fall, I have come to the conclusion that I really need to make this check last me as long as possible. So I am trying really hard to limit myself to only the things that I *really* need. And to buy those things as frugally as possible. At least until after I get the pug to the vet.
A mixer is out of the question for me right now. I just have to hope that the Oster can hang on for a few more months.
I spent $120 on new bras and panties yesterday. I am down to one good bra, and Lane Bryant was having a sale, so I decided to stock up. I actually managed to save more $ than I spent there. Now I just have to wait for the bras to arrive via UPS. Grrrr...
Went to the new Ross up on the South Hill today, and managed to check 2 more things off the Need List.
1. Socks. 95% of the socks I've bought in the last 10 years have all been boring white socks. My ankle socks have gotten pretty worn, and I decided that I was tired of wearing boring socks every day. I found these in 6-packs for $5.99 a pack. Yay! Now my feet can be just as loud and obnoxious as the rest of me!
2. An Apron. It's not as fancy as some of the ones I was looking at online the other night, but it's still cute, does the job, and only cost $8.99. I And, as the embroidery reads, I really would cook for shoes. Or a mixer. Whatever.
So, here I am, making a conscious effort to save as much $$ as I can. I'm also going to try to actually work all the shifts I get scheduled for at work.
Speaking of work I still can't believe some of the people that come into the laundromat. I often get trapped into listening to crazy people while I fold sheets alone on Saturdays. I have a really hard time telling people that I'd rather watch college football than pretend to give a shit about their stories. I spend a lot of time smiling and nodding and not really paying attention when people talk to me. One of today's customers took things to an entirely new, extremely creepy level. This slimy guy told me that he had to get out of his house while his "porn star" wife was banging her boyfriend. Her boyfriend has I giant cock. Slimy guy even went so far as to show me a picture of her and the giant cock. WTF? What is wrong with this guy that he has this conversation with an attendant at the laundromat? And worse, what is wrong with me that I couldn't tell him that I was super uncomfortable with the conversation? I just wanted to finish folding the damn sheets so I could leave. I'm pretty sure at one point he offered to get me into the porn his friend is making. I have a hard time hearing everything when I'm only half paying attention and all the machines are running. Don't get me wrong. I am not judging anything that he's into, except the part where he assumed I wanted to hear about it. *shudders* Please pass the Brain Bleach.
Serious question for my kitchen-savy friends...
So, I'm looking at KitchenAid stand mixers online tonight, and I'm wondering which is better, the tilt-head ones, or the bowl-lift ones? And I found THIS tonight, and I can't tell you how almost PERFECT this color is, but $350 is A LOT to spend on a mixer, when I could get one for half the price (or less) on Craigslist and have custom vinyl stickers made for it. Decisions, decisions...
I love you, Bonnie, but it’s also not all for the skaters either.
Some of you might already know how I feel about the phrase “by the skaters, for the skaters.”
Brilliant!
Derby love for us little guys! <3
Or is it not enough? ;P

So long, 2011, and thanks for all the fish...
Well, I woke up on this last day of the year feeling like death on a stick. How appropriate for one of the toughest years I've had in a long time. Here's hoping that I'm just getting it all out of my system to start over fresh tomorrow.
2011 has been quite the roller coaster for me. And not the fun kind. The kind that leave you puking and swearing you'll never do THAT again. There's been family drama and friends lost. It wasn't ALL bad; there were friends that signed contracts to each other and many that managed to spawn this year. But most importantly, I was able to deepen my relationship with the love of my life: Roller Derby. <3
I started out last season with a day-long training camp to become a Non Skating Official (NSO) and have more recently been announcing solo for the Lilac City Roller Girls and the Snake Pit Derby Dames, as well as co-announcing for the Spokannibals.
Derby makes me crazy-happy! If it weren't for my Disk Disease, I would be out there kicking ass with some of the most amazing chicks I've ever met. But the next best thing is to get to talk about it to crowds of Derby fans and Derby newbs. My goal for 2012 is to work towards becoming a Certified Flat Track Derby Announcer. I'm getting a lot more comfortable speaking live, and learning more specific details about the sport is only going to help me reach that goal.
I have one more quarter left at The Falls. I'm not on staff at the paper anymore, which is both weird and AWESOME at the same time. But now it's time for me to move on, possibly to a new newsroom with it's own set of soul-sucking problems. I'm having a hard time nailing down a solid plan for the next part of my educational journey. I will likely take spring and summer off of school to work full-time. I will be applying to Universities soon, after I jump through the hoops to have my transcripts cleaned up. It's not looking like I'm going to make it to U of O, at least not in the next couple of years. I'm still going to apply though; with all the awards I won at the communicator, maybe they'll toss me some scholarship monies.
Maybe 2012 will be the year I figure out what I wanna be when I grow up. Please refrain from holding your breath.
I went out a lot less this last year. I'm just not that excited about the bar scene anymore, especially since I've apparently lost all desire to drink anymore. I'm hoping to figure out a way to spend time with my friends, without having to be surrounded by drunk people.
And now it's time for me to take a nap before things get under way tonight. Really, I promise I'm going to try to blog more next year. Again, please don't hold your breath. <3
Stay outta trouble tonight, friends. No one wants to spend tomorrow in Regret.

Stay tuned for an important message...
There will be an end-of-the-year wrap up today or tomorrow. This is more or less a test to see how this will forward to my twitter and facebook accounts. :)
