One of my biggest fears my entire life was roller skating.

I want to skate though so so so bad. I have a nice pair of bonts, but rarely use them because I'm so afraid.

Should I try posting progress vids here?

I'd love to find a little community

[zoelynmarie]

Let me just say that I have multiple family members who have broken their feet just by stepping off of a curb. I know someone who got seriously injured by a sewing machine. Insane things can happen all the time. Fear is healthy and good, but letting it stop you from doing something you really want to try isn't (Except for, like, capital crimes. Don't do those.)

For anybody who is scared of roller skating, get you some good protective gear, get thee to a rink, and get rolling! If you get out of control, stagger your feet and touch your knee pads. If you're scared of falling, practice falling. Everybody falls. Everybody. I learned to skate the second I could walk, and I eat shit every time I put wheels on my feet. It's part of the experience.

Someone at an old job asked why I wanted to write up the meeting minutes for our team and I said 'i wanna control the narrative' and they were like 'what' and I pointed out that no one was gonna remember what we said in six months and so my interpretation of the meeting would dictate the assumed reality of what happened

"none of you ever send corrections when I offer the draft so y'all have consented to my version"

"we don't read that shit"

"you must trust me implicitly to create our shared reality that's so sweet"

That's how several coworkers decided I was a supervillain and how I learned several coworkers didn't understand record keeping as like a CONCEPT

[zoelynmarie]

New career goal: convince everyone I work with that I'm a super villain. They already think I'm a weirdo, this is just the next step

One of my older cousins is actually a reformed snape wife and yesterday she walked in while me and her sister were watching your video laughing our asses off. She just stood there with a thousand yard stare and then silently went to the kitchen and started chugging vodka straight from the bottle.

Your cousin is???? Is she one of the people mentioned in the video?????????

[zoelynmarie]

I've been gone from Tumblr for too long what is... what?

[basketcasemp3]

sorry i cant stop watching this

[zoelynmarie]

I watched this at least twice and the whole time I thought about the time I was in a ballet version of the Three Little Pigs

[bantersnatch]

[zoelynmarie]

I guess I'm going to have to actually watch this one now.

[andorology]

brooding men who cannot communicate their feelings if their life depended on it are only hot when they're fictional. if i have to deal with one in real life i will curse him and pray for his downfall every night before i go to bed

[kestrel-tree]

It's because the writer communicates their feelings for them. If people wanna pull that off in real life they need to hire a guy to walk around behind them narrating.

[bananonbinary]

#can i be the guy#ill narrate SO incorrectly#theyll all learn how to talk for themselves just to shut me up (via @cirrus-grey)

i'm loving the implication that this isn't something they hired you for, but something you'd do as some sort of public service.

I found this under #roller derby and just want to share that these are not good skates for roller derby. Very nice aesthetic, but those cute little heart stoppers are gonna get TORN UP and so will your ankles RIP

So I had a hysterectomy today (hooray!) and I brought along my stuffed orca, Shamu, as a comfort object. And everyone i interacted with during my pre-op was like "Oh! Who's this?" so I was telling them all about him, how he's been with me since I was 9 and gone on every single vacation and road trip, and they were telling me about their own stuffed buddies (one lady said she still has hers after 40 years!) and all of this while I was signing consent forms and providing a list of the things I'd brought with me, you know, small talk.

So then a nurse comes over and goes "Okay, I've got some stickers I'll put on your things so we know they're yours" and I'm like "OK cool" so she puts a sticker on my coat and stickers on my bags of clothes and then she turns to Shamu and I'm like "oh I guess he gets a sticker too"

But no. She pulls out a hospital bracelet that's an exact copy of mine and slaps it on his tail, like so:

And i was delighted by this, so I took a picture to send to my friends, who were equally delighted, and were cracking me up with their reactions (like so:)

Anyway, they take me back and put me under, and when I awake groggily a few hours later it takes me a minute to get my bearings, so I don't notice Shamu at first. But then I realize he's tucked up next to me in the gurney, so I grab him, and my hand touches gauze.

And I'm like "huh?" so I look at him and I realize

They gave my fucking orca a hysterectomy

Reblog if you play roller derby and are still very clumsy.

I thought it would help but really, I’m now just clumsy at higher speeds.
