Skating memories... My dad loves to tell the story of the first time I ice skated. We were at the Omni in Atlanta and I was 4 or 5. I begged and begged to skate but he told me I was too little and it was too hard. I persisted and finally he relented. We put on skates and then, "She skated like she'd been doing it her whole life! I was falling all over the place and there that child was doing laps around the rink!" Ha!
I was way way into roller skating. I had my own white boot skates and skated in the basement (when we had one), in the garage, at roller rinks. I have a pair of Britney Sketchers skates that I bought for $20 a couple of years ago that I need to bust out. Yay for skating!
Frag & Post Update
I just popped into one of the warm-ups to ask who was who. This appears to be the roster for the evening -
The Players:
The Sengir - Pete, Husband of Jilli ------- Baaaazibub - Paul, Husband of Plei
Noise Design - Sean K ------- Noise Design (G) - Miracleman
Noise Design 2 - Drew ------- Noise Design 2 (G) - Omnis
Sonus x Machina - Himself ------- Sonus x Machina (G) - His brother
Pete, darling, is posting scores really necessary given that you and Sonus and Plei's DH have played a ton and everyone else hasn't? IJS. Perhaps just discussing the merry killing would do.

I'm doing it because people
asked
for a Frag & Post. Anyway, I'm posting links to matches I'm not even in yet. Also, the disparity in skill can be dulled by the handicap system. I fear Drew and crowd are not going to get the warm up they need tho', as it seems Sonus is a lot better than expected.
The funny thing is, yes I do get upset at my family, who we spend every holiday with, but when I was so far away from them, I missed them like whoa. Mostly in St. Andrew's (where M-i-L lives)... the emotional stuff was extra rough due to a) aforementioned issues and b) it was Christmas, a day teeming with significance whether I realized it or not. I kept trying to tell myself that it was "just a day." But, it wasn't.
Everything else was OK, but not good enough to emotionally sustain us at all after the heartbreak in St. Andrew's.

I just meant that a frag-and-post doesn't necessarily have to include actual score-posting. But never mind. I'm not even playing; I was just concerned. What do I know?
Ima go watch girlie movies with Aimee and eat pizza and drink wine.
Laura, I never got your email. (Long phone call.) Resend rawk info, anyone?
Thanks!
