the bummer - we won't find out travel teams results until next weekend at the earliest.
the real bummer - my dad was taking Maverick out of town to visit Gnomeloaf and her family. About an hour left to go in their trip, my dad hit a deer. The car is totaled, but fortunately they are both ok.
the epiphany - I was helping out at the Lilac Festival, being generally goofy and dancing while holding my skate (we weren't allowed to wear them) and one of my leaguemates said something, I forget exactly what, that made me realize exactly *why* I joined roller derby lo those almost three years ago:
I needed an outlet for my weirdness.
And it's true! Back in '08 I didn't really have anything bizarre going on in my life. I had a job, I had a family, I had my knitting, but I didn't have anything weird. And then I found derby, and it gave me that outlet.
