Flik

Who is Flik? The first thing any roller girl hopeful thinks about is a derby name. I'm here to tell you first hand that it was way more complicated than one would think. Not only is it a name that will follow one through her entire derby career, but also, needs to be completely unique from ANY OTHER registered name. There are way around it...such as writing for permission to use the same or similar name...but who wants to do that? I tried on a lot of names before settling. I even made a name official, before scrapping it and going with something entirely different. Much thanks to Ferret Wrench for putting up with the endless "what about this name" and "what do you think about that name?" conversations. Once a name is settled on, then that is who one becomes. I'm that girl who is going to say the wrong thing sometimes. I'm that girl who likes things how they are supposed to be. That girl with the short line of patience. Who am I? I am Aries A. Fliktion- a girl who is seriously afflicted with being an Aries. And- that's ok with me.
