The Battlescar Galactica take the track for the first time tonight.
It will also be my first bout.
I have been overwhelmed with thoughts of derby for the last two days. Oh, who am I kidding, I have been thinking about it constantly since I got drafted. The only difference is that the derby dreams are increasing, the obsession over what I should eat to properly fuel my body is beginning, I drink less, I sleep more, I *contemplate* becoming a non-smoker.
It's consuming me. I joke about the fact that derby is taking over my life. While it is no joke, I don't mind it. I am sure that my family and friends mind somewhat. There are incredibly supportive. I have some 20+ people coming tonight to cheer me on (perhaps a few of them swayed by the promise of cheap beer.)
I cannot WAIT for this. I am kind of nervous. I know, at this point, my skill level is what it is. I am not going to magically become a better skater before the bout tonight. My nerves are based more upon making the people coming to see me proud.
I can hardly think straight, much less sit still. I wish this day would go faster.
amErica RULES.
I have heartburn.
