This was all so adorable that I can't even contain myself.
My teammate Manic Boom Bastic had this to say for her Facebook status today:
Mataea on her phone: so... That's why I won't be at practice tonight. Yup, talk to you later. Bye Spick. Me: Were you talking to Flik? Mataea: Well, yeah Spick.
....Mataea is 3 years old. I can count that, right? Give the girl some chalk to play with, and she's a fan for life. Isn't that the greatest?
This next part was GREAT but...Phew...painful. We had practice last night at Bernick's Arena, in preparation for our coming bout on 9/8. The important part about this news is that means we were on concrete. Which is like 99.99 percent better for roller derby. Except when you fall. I fell. HARD.
I got knocked clear off my skates, into the air, only to land on left entire left side AT THE SAME TIME. My left butt, back, shoulder and HEAD just BANG. I layer there in pain for a few minutes.
Even fetal positioned it for a spell. Wowzer. It was a good one. I clearly hit my head as I just wasn't RIGHT for awhile. Thankfully there was an eye doctor there who was able to confirm that I wasn't
in danger of concussion. It was just a hard core hurt.
But I'm better now...and the above referenced "fan" story makes it all worth it. :D
