So I haven't been around here much. And thought I'd stop in and say hi. I showed up yesterday in a fury because ok it's a long story, but to make it short, my LJ, which maybe I link to from here, is completely anonymous. It's been at the same name for 8 years and I have probably mentioned my name and various identifying things at various points over those years-- I have been unwary at varying points of my life-- but the fact is, in and of itself, there are no identifiers on that blog. And yet it keeps persistently getting used as "evidence" in roller derby dramas.
I mean, I know for local stuff it's inevitable-- people on my LJ f-list are skaters too, so they're going to take what I write and go with it.
But yesterday someone from ANOTHER LEAGUE, who doesn't know me, doesn't know my name, doesn't know anything about me, protested about an observation (not even an opinion!) I'd made in a 4,000-word entry about a road trip to see another league skate. And they're threatening to withhold support from my whole league over it. And Jesus Christ-- it's an anonymous blog.
I used to do search engine optimization so I know how to be relatively invisible to search engines.
The only way to find that blog if you're looking for derby stuff in there is:
Type in the abbreviation for the league's name
Scroll through FOURTEEN PAGES of more relevant results
Find an old entry of mine talking about something banal
scroll through several years of posts
There's the 'controversial' entry where I talk about my road trip.
So...
Someone who reads that blog fairly regularly has to have sent the URL directly to the person who got offended. There's really no other way they'd have found it. Because I have 0 contacts in this league, and have nothing to do with them at all. None of them have any way to have known where my journal was.
Someone is using me to stir up shit. And this isn't the first time it has happened.
I've had that fucking journal for 8 years and it has my whole life in it. I have done all I can to anonymize it. I completely resent the shit out of having to constantly watch what I write, but I have been for over two years-- I *know* people read it.
I just am sick of the bullshit. I DON'T write anything offensive, and people still find ways to be offended. And I have no recourse, since they're using it as a lever against my whole league.
Which is why I need someone out of town to help me out and mail a whole huge box of undies with "big girl panties" stenciled on the ass to Washington D.C.
No no no. But it would be hilarious.

big girl pantiesI need a blog no one knows about so I can rant and rave about how I AM GOING TO BUY A BIG MULTI-PACK OF BIG GIRL PANTIES AND MAIL THEM TO A CERTAIN PERSON.
But I really can't, since someone might know who I am and tell this person and then OH NOES there would be MORE FUCKING DRAMA.
Which I need like I need an extra hole right in my forehead so I can POKE MYSELF IN THE BRAIN.
Neat party trick that'd be. Until someone tried to use the hole as a bottle opener and I DIED.

thundersnow- Pre-entry commercial break: TICKETS FOR THE FIRST ROLLER DERBY BOUT OF THE SEASON HAVE GONE ON SALE ONLINE
, ALONG WITH SEASON TICKETS FOR ALL OF THE BOUTS, AND YOU SHOULD BUY THEM BECAUSE I AM AWESOME AND SO ARE MY BITCHES. Thank you, and we now return to your regularly scheduled entry.***
I'm pissed at the thundersnow because the clap of thunder this morning (well, more a roll of thunder-- in my half-waking state I thought it was a basso profundo chord on a pipe organ) scared away Chita, who had been snuggling my face and purring and purring.
So sad.
I am going to be making Christmas cookies today, of at least two kinds. The cookies you roll and cut out have to have their dough refrigerated from anywhere between an hour to overnight. I have two kinds of roll-out cookie dough in the fridge now. One is the kind my mother always made, from Fanny Farmer's Butterscotch Cookies recipe. That dough is tastiest raw, and many happy childhood memories were made eating the scraps left over after cutting cookies out.
The other is Piparkukas, a traditional Latvian cookie that must be rolled out very, very thin so that it is crispy. The dough is very sticky-- there isn't much flour in it, or really much of anything except for spices. The ideal finished piparkuka (Is that the singular? I don't know Latvian) will be a whisper of crispy spiciness that melts into a sweet/savory suggestion in your mouth, and leaves a lingering spicy scent of Christmas about you.
Often when I make them they're too thick, though, because the dough is extremely hard to roll out. It's largely molasses and honey, and if it's warm enough to work, it is sticky and incorrigible. If it's cold enough not to stick, it is also the consistency of brick. I tried to cheat this year-- I spread the still-warm dough (the honey and molasses are boiled to start off with) out between two sheets of wax paper and have put it in the fridge to cool that way. Hopefully I'll be able to roll it out thinner if I start with a sheet instead of a brick.
I'm not too optimistic, however. I've been working out daily all month, because of the roller derby bout on the 3rd. I've missed probably three or four days all month. That's fine, that's good, that's OK-- I am dealing with sore muscles as I get them, and am enjoying the feeling of how strong my body is getting.
But shoveling snow makes for sore muscles. So my triceps are killing me on both sides, and yesterday while I was scrubbing the bathtub I noticed how much weaker I was than normal because I was so sore. It's not much better today.
(e:zobar) took a turn shoveling, so his arms are like noodles now.
And even (e:fi) shoveled a bit, and did something to one of her shoulders.
So of the three people in this house, none of us is really in much of a state to wrestle large quantities of obstreporous Latvian cookie dough into thin, meltingly-crispy submission.
Oh well. We're pretty much snowed in, so I haven't much else to do. Except oh yeah, maybe finish my Xmas cards.

snow is evil. especially when the plow driver drops an extra 3 feet of snow on your car.

Snow shoveling can be a lot more work then it looks like. I don't know how much stuff or area needed to be shoveled but I'll give a little advice from what I have learned.
1. Go out and shovel when it is snowing: The reason for this is that when snow is at 2 inches it is light and easy to do and you can open up everything and see where to toss the snow. It is easier to shovel shovel twice then to try to pick up wet heavy snow a foot at a time.
2. Don't do what a lot of people do and to one shovel width. you get two people heading towards each other boom. This goes back to when you open up every thing like in point one. if you do this then every time it snows and you toss snow that open area gets smaller if you have a drive way you won't be able to get out. This is also true when some ass hole parks across from your drive way.
3. This comment is so stupid not sure why I did it but I guess I'll keep it up. It is easy to think I'm tough and can shovel lots of snow but often what looks light becomes heavy so don't put to much snow on that shovel. I once broke a shovel doing so, I don't mean the plastic part I mean the handle.
4. Think of it as work and as fun: What I mean is, it is work, in that you don't want to do stuff that will make your work harder later. For example if you have a drive way you want to get all the snow all the way back if you put it on the sides then when you get 8 inches it will block the car door and get under the tires and you will get stuck. But also think of it as fun and a good way to get exercise. If you think negatively then it will never get done and you will be cursing and make the job that much harder.

queen city roller girls' 2009 seasonSo I'm starting off with awesome photos.
My team had our photos taken this past month and just got the results posted up on the inter-netz for us to look at. One of our team members' boyfriends is an avid photography hobbyist, and has been taking action shots of our bouts for a full season now. He's really quite good, and has gotten some awesome results.
He, on his own, came up with a concept/theme for this season's team photos. Last season, since we're called the Knockouts, we went with a boxing theme and got our photos taken in a boxing gym. It was kind of neat, OK, sure, cute.
Last season there were a lot of complaints that we were the most violent team, that we were thugs and we committed more penalties than other teams. The stats (and reviewing the footage) don't really back that up, but the reputation stands.
So this photographer fellow decided to take that theme and run with it. His concept was "P(r)etty Criminals", and he set up a shot with each of us doing some dastardly deed or other. (He did stipulate that there would be no conventional weapons-- I'm not sure why, but I do know our rivals' photos last season featured all of them holding weapons, so maybe it was in response to that. Or maybe he just thought it would be funnier.)
Anyway, here's mine.
OK, I've uploaded it three times and every time it says "Percent complete: 100" but doesn't put the code into the entry. I've manually put the code in in the past and it never works, so I'm just going to link to the site where the photo's hosted.
Hope that works!
If you page through, you can see everybody's photos. Mine is pretty funny, but I think my favorite one has to be Hyper Bean's. She really enjoyed her photo shoot. It's almost disturbing:
Am I scared of my own teammate?
Yes, a little bit.
I'm also fond of Liquid Courage's shot:
And Holly Lulu's is cute:
The infamous Sweet Pea:
Ah, they're all good; I shouldn't link to all twenty of them. Go and look.
Anyway, we will be playing vs. last season's champions, the Suicidal Saucies, on January 3rd. This will be huge-- we've had a rivalry with them since day one, three years ago now, and have never beaten them. Most seasons we get to face them twice, but this season we will only see them this first time unless both of us wind up in the final bout for the championship. So it's a really important bout.
The Knockouts will have a cheering section led by the Kockouts, a bunch of husbands of skaters and former skaters. Last season members of the Kockouts dressed up as characters from Star Wars. There have been air horns. There have been foam fingers. We're looking forward to seeing them again. Anyone interested in joining the Kockouts, definitely let me know.
The bouts are, as ever, at 7 pm at Rainbow Rink in North Tonawanda (101 Oliver St). I'm not actually positive, but I think we won't be raising ticket prices, which is pretty awesome given that we have regularly sold out in the past. If we do raise them, it wouldn't be by much. (Formerly, $10 advance/$15 door, available online until the day of the bout; we may close online sales earlier this year but I'm not sure. will have all the up-to-date info as well as tickets to buy.)
I do know that the venue has made a number of improvements to better accomodate the sellout crowds-- more restrooms (even if they're outdoors, they're under some cover now), more bleachers, better lighting. So that will be pretty awesome.
I hope to see some peeps there!!!! I am so excited for this season, I can't even stand it. We have a travel team! We have a fourth home team made up of rookies whose maiden bout will be vs. Rochester!! We have new skaters and old skaters and all kinds of awesome stuff!!
I am still hung over, but at least I can eat now. i'm going to bed. It wasn't a total waste of a day; I managed to make carrot ginger soup and address a bunch of Christmas cards. But it was nearly a waste-- I am going to have to not drink much anymore if I am to get all the shit done that I need to. Boo.

i was hung down drung down brung downi am just hung over. so so so hung over. so amazingly hung over. this is the worst hangover i have had since april. that was the worst hang over i ever had in my life. this one is less pukey, less dramatic, but bad nonetheless. on a day like this you have to wonder what you can possibly expect to do with yourself. I don't regret last night, of course, though i do wish I'd not hit my head on a table somehow. I had a lovely time and would not wish to change anything I did. I did make an attempt to drink a great deal of water, so I can't kick myself for forgetting-- I just didn't drink enough water, and wasn't persistent enough in continuing. I didn't actually drink allll that much booze either. Though the boxed wine was probably a mistake, after the um four Jack and Cokes and half a bottle of home-brewed mead.
I am almost ready to try eating food. Earlier I drank a lot lot lot of water, and took two Ibuprofin and chugged more water, and that was a mistake because I promptly upchucked the lot, but I am being more conservative now, and am thinking maybe, maybe maybe I can eat. (It was actually the least unpleasant upchuck ever because it was all just mostly pure water, still slightly colder than body temperature-- I basically just flushed out my tummy. It went out my nose and hardly even stung, the stomach acid was so dilute. Sorry if that's way TMI for some people, but the point I'm trying to make is how astonishingly not gross it was. Cuz believe me I know all about gross. See above re: April.)
So I'm thinking I could take a chance on, say, a bagel. I remember when I was little, if I'd thrown up anytime within the past day my mom wouldn't let me have any dairy products because she said my tummy had to re-grow the bacteria that digest milk, but is that even true? Because I want a little fat to soak up the acid my stomach's making now, and I want it to be cream cheese, but I don't want to make things worse. I have to be better by tomorrow because I have practice. ;)
Speaking of roller derby... of course that's who I was drinking with last night. It was a pretty crazy party. It might even have been crazier than an (e:strip) party. There certainly was a whole lot of lapdancing anyway. At one point, I was quite drunkenly watching a lap-dancing lesson being given; one of my new teammates had this move she does where she'll do a headstand supporting herself on the dance-ee's thighs, winding up with her legs wrapped around the person's neck. Another teammate was trying to learn it, but was having trouble; I think I fairly accurately assessed the difficulty's source: the teacher was a tiny slip of a thing, and the teachee was what I had formerly considered as such, but by comparison... well, let's just say the larger girl is about five-seven and a whopping one hundred and fifteen pounds. I used to think that a fairly small person, but this new teammate is... well, even smaller.
Our smallest team member now is four feet seven, I might add. She isn't the headstand one, though. The headstand one is probably five feet even and has thighs like my wrists. The four foot seven one is a Pilates instructor and recently survived a pileup in which I landed on her ass-first and rolled off her shoulder-first, crushing her the whole way; I landed really hard on my shoulder and lay there a second, then sat up shrieking "Oh my God, did I kill her?" but she had already bounced up and skated away. This is not a delicate little person, this girl.
Anyway.
I idly wondered, at one point, how someone learns such skills. I mean, how do you learn to give lapdances? Even among close close close friends I won't do it because I just feel too self-conscious that I don't know how. I dunno.
Anyway. I have decided that I need to spice up my look on the track just as much as I've improved my skating, so I'm buying a set of eyeshadows that include blue, black, and silver shades. It's going to be hot.
First bout is the most exciting-- January 3rd. Mark your calendar. It's going to be fucking awesome.

Wow sounds like a great party. I don't know how one would learn how to lap dance I'm guessing watching strippers or having a friend that is one or a room mate might help, or go to a Roller Girls party, ha. I don't know if this works or not but I have heard if you drink water before hand and take some kind of headache stuff that will help cut down on the hangover. I know that if you where at a bar you could eat the ice as a way to get water. From what I understand the dehydration is part of the hangover and the other part is from what ever happens after the lack of alcohol. Some people can cure that a bit by having one beer. I hate puking and have done some not so fun versions of it that I won't get to here. I think there are two kinds alcohol poisoning (had that once for sure that wasn't fun feeling my arm feel weird and knowing to go outside) and then when it isn't poising but your stomach can't hold anymore so up it comes. Yes it is good to have food in your stomach it will absorb some of the alcohol but to much and you may spew. I hate my body it doesn't all ways respond to alcohol the same and that is a bumber. Glad you had a good time hope you got better with out to much pain.

shudder. I am quite familiar with the so-bad-I-want-to-die hangover. Unfortunately, they usuall occur on nights when I all of the sudden realize "oh shit, must go to bed NOW" so there is no time for water-drinking. I am a fan of alka seltzer "morning relief", though it's probably just a placebo. after pharmacology and learning the mechanism of nausea and H2 blockers, I was so excited to think that benedryl (or dramamine) might help... alas, it does not.
I usually wake up, open one eye, and think "how do I feel?" Initial thought is usually "not too bad. thank god." I have to go eat RIGHT THEN, because inevitably as soon as I get up and start moving, the grossness sets in and I can't eat. Food is the only thing that makes it better, but usually I feel too gross to eat. Dry toast is often about all I can handle. Or plain cheerios.
ok, too much comment, but the point- oh sister I can sympathize. Feel better!

I don't use LJ so I don't know how it works and I don't know to much about how search engines work other then that there used to be close 10 major ones and they all worked differently. I think that sometimes things that we think don't have any details really do. I have never been to a derby bout but lets say I went to one and after the event I said something about "it was really fun but it wasn't what I was expecting I thought it would be like how it was on TV " (I really know you ladies use a flat track not banked and you don't get into fights for the camera or what ever the other differences are between the stuff we would see on TV Years ago) as I'm saying this I'm saying it to a group of people I'm with and maybe there are even some skaters. You know how girls talk. One person tells another and so on and so forth and before you know it everyone knows what I said. Now what if I write about the trip and and I use those exact words. Well it doesn't take much to figure out I was the guy in the crowd. There are a couple other things to think about. Remember people don't have to find your page if they all ready know where it is. Again word of mouth can spread that. What I think you should do is to write what ever you want and don't edit it, but here is what you do. You have a statement (yes like the TV stations do about infomericals or even some talk shows) on every blog that is allways the same. I don't know what wording you would want to use, but what it would say is that yes you skate on a team and are part of a Roller Derby league but that your ideas are not a represention of either the league or your team and that they are your own ideas and that you are representing your self. This would protect both you and your team and the league. The league might even want to come up with one of these statements for bloggers to use. Hey if you think the way one league runs their events or that the refs suck you should be able to say that. If they get mad then that team or league would be mad at your thoughts but then shouldn't be able to hold it against the league. Besides it might also be a good idea for that also for legal reasons.
I can't imagine trying to have a secret blog. Why not just make it password protected? Do they have that option?
I actually have a stencil already cut out that says "Big Girl Panties" and have stenciled it across the ass of a pair of shorts I wear to practice a lot. So anyone who wants actual big girl panties, I can make them easily.
