Rollerblading Season is Here!!

Look out pedestrians but more importantly drivers I'm on the road with wheels on!!!

For any of you who have seen me Rollerblade before you know I'm no expert, for those who haven't I'm no expert ;-) . Well yesterday I got on my Rollerblades for my first time this year. The first time is always the hardest, but this year wasn't as bad as past years. I could attribute that to ice skating parties this winter, or it could be that I've hit my head so many times I don't actually realize how bad I am, either way I was out there and so far without incident. Well almost without incident. I ran into a fence, but it was by choice, it was either the fence or the Lake Shore off ramp. I think I made a wise choice. I scared a few pedestrians along the way as well, but no one was hurt.

I'm looking forward to perfecting my skills this year... maybe even learn a few tricks :-)

Snow Boarding Rocks!

Blue Mountain, Collingwood

So yesterday my friend Tall Drink (with me to the right) tried to teach me how to snow board. I met him up at Blue Mountain, but he was a bit late, so by the time he got there I'd had a few drinks... probably one too many. Regardless, I still wanted to try and board.

I got out there, and the hardest part was standing up, likely as I was hammered. Once I got on my feet it was down hill (literally) so a good thing. I went down, mostly on my ass, but I went down about 8 times. I F'n loved it. I was much better when I was holding on to Tall Drink (for dear life). I loved going fast and straight down the hill, turning one way was fine (I want to say heal edge), the other and I fell (toe edge?). Knocked Tall Drink on his butt quite a few times too.

Anyway, I am now a snowboarder (or at least someone who wants to be) so if anyone wants to go with me let me know! I'm up for it.



Oh and P.S. Happy Birthday Tall Drink!!!

New Sport

So my friend JR sent me to this site... Pillow Fight League ... recommending I join. Apparently I seem the type to beat other women with a pillow. I'm wondering if anyone else thinks I'd be good at this. I think I might be better at Mud Wrestling, but who knows.

I found the rules especially entertaining.

The Official PFL Rules

1. Women Fighters Only. No Exceptions.

2. Fights have a five minute time limit and are won via pinfall, surrender, or referee stoppage. If a fight ends at the time limit with no winner, a winner is declared by a three-judge committee

3. Punching, leg drops, clotheslines, submission holds, and other moves are allowed as long as a pillow is used to execute the attack.

4. Preventing an opponents' pillow strike by holding her pillow results in a warning from the referee. Judges may choose to include these warnings as part of their judging criteria if a fight goes the distance.

5. No eye-gouging, biting, scratching, hair pulling, or low blows.
   

6. No rude, lewd, or suggestive behavior.

7. Loading a pillow with a foreign object such as a brick is strictly forbidden

Number six I find interesting... no rude, lewd or 'suggestive' behaviour... I'm wondering how much more suggestive it could be. The girls are in skimpy clothes pillow fighting. I don't know about you but sounds like something straight out of a teenaged boys fantasy.
