Because having two names isn’t confusing enough when I’m trying to remember who I am to somebody. :)

Dawg asked us to write a post about a great weekend, a fantastic time, or an awesome experience that YOU have had”. For some reason, ever since he assigned this to us all, I’ve had an incredibly difficult time choosing the perfect thing to post here. But… I’m not really sure why I’m going for perfect. What’s going to happen if I don’t choose the perfect memory? Nothing. Because perfection is subjective and life isn’t about perfection unless you’re a crazy person. *cough* So, moving on.

Favorite times are always happening to me. My life is really just awesome, because I am in a place I want to be, in a career I want to be, am the person I want to be, and am surrounded both physically and emotionally by people and furry kids who I love and who love me back. I’ve asked my hard questions, got the answers I needed to hear, and have accepted their answers. I am so content that I’m surprised I haven’t Enlightened and disappeared. But today I had a brand new experience: I saw Whip It with Dawg. At the end of the film we had this brief dialog:

Poppy: *smacking the shit out of Dawg’s arm in the dark movie theater*
Dawg: Ow! Why are you hitting me?!
Poppy: I want to be a roller derby chick!!!!!!
Dawg: There’s a league in Manhattan, The Gotham Girls…
Poppy: Oh, I can’t be in a professional league, I need to go amateur first. I can’t stay upright in skates…
Dawg: Mmm…
Poppy: …and I haven’t broken a bone yet! I need to break a bone first.
Dawg: Well, I don’t know about THAT.

I toooootally wanna beat up chicks while I’m on skates. Like, real bad. And have people cheer my derby name…

That would be awesome.

  3. Come live in Queens for five minutes, we’ll cure you of that nasty apologizing habit. (I had it too when I moved here from VT, everyone laughed at me.)

  4. I totally understand how a movie can influence a person’s career or hobby choice.

    After coming home from the movie, yesterday, I wanted to start killing zombies. At amusement parks.

  6. Indeed you would be awesome!

    And, deep down, don’t we all want to beat up chicks while on roller skates?

    Oooh… it’s not nearly as cool when a guy says it, is it? :-)
