  • Get Up

    [I was asked to write a script for the Baby Doll Brawl trailer based on my “coming out” entry where all the skaters in the Baby Doll Brawl would share a monologue about why we skate. In the end, someone else had cut together the All-Star reel to use instead (and we’ve been so busy…

    [scripty] Dana Happy birthday, Allison. Pamie Yeah, happy birthday. That food was so good. Allison Thanks. I love this place. Scott and I come here all the time. It’s kind of ridiculous. One time last week, we came in for lunch and dinner. Dana You must come in here a lot, because when you were…

  • very soon now.

    …And then possibly I can go back to some non-derby-themed topics. Forgive me for being so one-note with this upcoming bout, but I’ve been pretty much living at the track for the past month, working on the continuing saga of “Do I Suck As Hard As I Think I Do? (Yes, I Do/No, I Don’t/Yes,…

  • Taken.

    About sixteen seconds after you finish your first derby practice you start to think about your derby name. It becomes pretty much an obsession. Every name you hear gets twisted into a violent and/or sexy pun. It might seem silly, but it becomes an all-consuming task, because you are essentially naming your alter ego. Your…

    Tales From Fresh Meat: the time I almost died in Historic Filipinotown.

    This is a reprint of an essay I sent to the Derby Dolls and Fresh Meat mailing lists back in early August. Back then, Helen Surly Frown didn’t have her awesome Derby name, so I’m putting it in here to protect the innocent. Allison? Well, she’s just stuck being outed with me. Razorslut posted many…

    This is how I roll.

    For almost four months now, I’ve been living a bit of a double life. It was a secret at first, mostly because I didn’t want to talk about it, I wanted to just do it. Plus, a lot of people weren’t going to understand. They were going to judge me. Not that I care about…

  • Why I haven’t been updating my blog often enough: good excuses.

    There’s no order of importance here, but in the last week or so I’ve had a package lost at the post office, a letter returned because it didn’t reach the recipient in time, my computer stolen, and my tailbone broken. I’m not sad or pissed off, but I am getting impatient with living my days…
