*OW*!!!

So it looks like this bad ass wannabe is a wimp. I did indeed go to the "Bloody Valentine" bout last night. Well, I didn't just watch roller derby, I experienced it. I have the swollen ankle and messed up right leg to show for it. I was sitting cross-legged right on the edge of the rink, pretty close I guess, too close obviously. I was accidentally body slammed by a roller girl. They were racing 'round the track fast, and someone pushed her, or tripped her, it happened so fast it was hard to say. All I know is suddenly someone was hurtling through the air toward me, and then before I even had a chance to move I had wheels slam down on my ankle and shin, and an excruciating pain shot through my body. Cartoon tweety birds were circling my shocked noggin I'm sure. I was stunned by the enormity of the pain for a few minutes, then I asked my friends to help me up. I went to go try to walk off the pain. I went to the women's room, and put the lid down and sat down to catch my breath. I put on some make-up, looking better always helps everything ;-> I hobbled around, the night wound down, and then my friends and I went to a diner. It was 15 degrees out, and the wind was whipping frigid.

I went home, and took it easy. It's a bit worse today. Tomorrow I may need X-Rays. Well, I guess that means I'm not trying out anytime soon. I'll go back, but with a spectator chair, and sit a safe distance away. Glad she didn't land on both my legs, or I wouldn't have even been able to walk around today, and I had a lot to do. In fact, I won't cover my day today, because it was just too busy, and I'm too tired for the recounting.

So, here I'll be, vegging out, putting up my achy swollen ankle, and my poor leg. Heh. Yea, I'm such a tough bitch. I should stick to contact sports involving nerf toys. :-)
