Summer days

I think the sun is returning to Crime City. The rain and thunders seems to be gone and I might take a swim in the ocean later on. I love summer! Sad part is that my skin is as white as it was in December, good part is that I got loads of new freckles. :)

16 days left until the bout against London Rockin Rollers b-team and we have alot of practice coming up. Actually, we have a bootcamp this weekend with girls from Kallio, Copenhagen and Gothenburg so we're going to be on our skates all hours of the days. Thinking of that, I got to clean my flat since I'm going to have two girls staying there.

I don't have any pic of summer time or anything like that so here is a pic of my socks and a beer.

Home sweet home

It's sad to leave my boyfriend in London, and each time I do I try not to weep my eyes out. But I still got to say that it's pretty nice to be home again, and it's even nicer when mom has been here and left food, flowers and a bowl of strawberries to me :) So now it's right back to derby practices.

So Paris was grey and rainy and I'm not sure whether I liked it or not. London was at first just like Paris. Rainy, wet, humid. But the last days were so hot and there was honestly no oxygen in that fucking town! And I was sweating like a pig in the oven! And I could see all the icky London dirt getting stuck to my skin. Have I ever told you that that town is noicy as hell? The houses are built of papier-mache and the police, firedepartment and ambulances drive by every minute with their sirens on full blast.

I got to give huge kudos to my boyfriend for all the nice romantic things he does for me. <3

Bout in Paris, boyfriend in London

I'm leaving for Paris today to play a bout there tomorrow with my awesome travel team! I'm so nervous, I am afraid to forget something imortant, but I've checked and double checked everything. Even left a not to my parents how to water the flowers. This is going to be awesome!!!
And then after Paris I fly to London to hang out with my boyfriend.

Oh! And Crime City Rollers are going to skate under the Eiffel Tower! :D

Roller Derby for life!

School's out for summer! :D I'm free as a the firebird I am, and today I'll hang with my friends that I haven't had time to see during these last weeks.

There is alot of training going on at the moment. Last weekend was the Team Sweden Try Outs, and I have to say that it went really good! I felt in control of almost every move that I made. But I still don't know if I made it. I guess that I'll just have to wait and see. All the applying girls were awesome and I met some new cool people :) Sadly though, two of the girls were injured. One knee severely dislocated and one ankle broken in two places. The floor was really sticky! But they will both be back in a couple of months. All óur thoughts are with them!

Oh btw, the 18th of June we bout Paris in Paris! And after that I go to London to visit my bf and celebrate my birthday :) And maybe skate with some girls there. I guess you can call it vacation :)

UK invaded Crime City

UK invaded Crime City last weekend, and we had a mixed scrimmage bout with them. I was on the white team with amazing girls that really made my heart grow two sizes. So, how did it go? WE WON! 144 -99! I love the feeling of winning! Especially as a team. And not to forget the awesome girls in the black team, they really put up a game and was actually leading more thab halfway in to the bout.

Oh and we have an upcoming roadtrip to Stockholm in the end of May. It's the try outs to Team Sweden since we are sending a team to the world cup in Toronto in December. I don't even dare to hope to make it but I wish! Goddammit I wish! So me and some CCR girls are cramming into our cars and are wishing and hoping all our way to future fame and glory!

Btw... boyfriend left his xbox at my place, and now I can't study anymore.

Beautiful wednesday!

It was incredible weather today! I took my bike to work and back again, a trip of 13 km total :) Ok, maybe not all that far... but when I came home I changed my bike for my skates and went on a trip with Ninja, Smacky and Smärta. I can really feel the sun in my face, the skin is almost tender (yeah I got that all white skin and loads of freckles). It really felt like a summer day. I should have bought beer and had a picnic in the park.

So now it's easter and I'm free for a couple of days, even though I got to do homework. Best of all about the easter is not all the candy, but that my boyfriend is coming home! YEY! I miss him more than I can tell you!

Anyways, I don't have time to sit here and write, I got laundry time tomorrow morning. Night!

(Just got to post some more pics from the old books:)

CPH VS GGGRD

I had the most awesome weekend! I attended my first practice in 3 weeks due to injuries, so now I'm sore all over, but happy! Then on saturday we (Crime City Rollers and some girls from Stockholm Roller Derby) went over to see the bout between Copenhagen Roller Derby and GoGo Gent from Belgium. It was nerve-wracking but wonderful! Copenhagen won, and then we all celebrated the whole night through. The after-after party was at The Rock, a place I've never been to before BUT OH MY GOD I LOVE IT! I got to get back there! It was everything I love! Mad Sin played when we got there (one of my boyfriend's fav band). I came home at 7 am, after that Kitty Violent carried me fron The Rock to the main station. She truly a strong woman, 'cause I'm not a little light weight...

Anyway, I met a lot of old and new friends this weekend and I really can't wait until the next bout!

Roller Derby Cravings

Spring came! And then went away again? It's more autumn today than anything else, and all my beautiful dresses are still in the wardrobe. But I really can't keep myself away from them, I want spring now!

I hurt a meniscus in my knee and had to stay away from training this weekend :( So, since I had the worst cravings for roller derby I bought a new bag with a skate on it :D Well, there is a quadskate on the other side of it. I promise. And it was really cheap! Lagerhaus FTW! Yellow and black works mighty fine with Crime City Rollers colors: purple, yellow, black and white.

Oh btw, I was home at my parents place yesterday and found two gorgeous aprons so now I can bake more cupcakes with out making a mess of my clothes. I'm thinking of baking a big cake to my mom as a thank you. :) Can't sit here and write anymore, I got to work...

Bout and cupcakes = the best things in life!

Long time no see!
Well... WE WON THE BOUT!!! Crime City Rollers vs Stockholm Roller Derby: 132 - 88. That could have been the best day of my life! To win something in a team is awesome, you got to share your happiness with so many people :) Here's a really good video from the bout (I kiss throw kisses to the audience at 3:27)

I somehow managed to wreck my knee during the bout, but it feels better now. I got to start training for the next bout! We got so many awesome girls that I got to fight for my spot in the travel team.


To a whole other thing: I've started to bake cupcakes!!! And I love it! The only thing in the kitchen that I'm actually good at. Evidence:

This is apple + cinnamon and chocolate cupcakes. The best part of baking cupcakes is that you can share them with you friends and family :) Cupcakes makes everyone happy!

Friday I'm in love

Ohhh only 2 weeks until the big BOUT! I'm getting a bit nervous. And what should I wear?! I gotta find the perfect pair of hotpants. I still have some issues with my knee after my last flop but it's healing up and I keep smiling. I need a new helmet as well, the one I got is old and kind of broken... But hey, it's practice tonight :)

I found a treasure at my parents house yesterday. Two enormous book containing a full year of magazines from 1941. So I grabbed a camera and fired of. I'll show you the pictures later on. But now I got inspiration to start making my own clothes again!

I cut bangs. Well, I started at 10 pm, and thought it was an awesome idea. Two hours later I was tired and fed up with the scissor. This could have been one of my less great ideas... Turns out that I have a hair dresser near by, and now the bangs are looking just like I wanted them to.

Best thing so far this week? My boyfriend called and said that he's coming home next week :D I miss him like hell and it's dreadful to think that we havn't met since Januari 9th. My André is the best man in the world!

Exam < ROLLER DERBY

I got an exam that is due on Friday evening and I haven't even started it. Well, does it count if you actually opened the book and flipped through the pages? The book has illustrations that I'm sure are done in MsPaint.

Conflict in the group? I think that they are dancing.

Well, nice try to make the book more interesting, but it doesn't work. I fall asleep from just looking at the book cover.
I reaaaaaally want to go to London in April! There is a big bout event which I need to see. The line up is as follows:


Day 1 - Saturday 9th April
Montreal vs London Roller Girls
Steel City vs Charm City
Montreal vs Steel City

Day 2 - Sunday 10th April
London vs Charm City
Montreal vs Charm City
London vs Steel City


I probably should bring my derby gear with me, you never know when a derby moment appears :) I think that I can take a week of from stuff in Sweden to be in London instead, to spend time with my boyfriend <3


Where was I? Oh, exam... fuck. Study on..

Work, school, DERBY

Work work... well, works is better than exams in school. And sad enough that, I have an exam in school tomorrow. I guess that there is nothing better to than to show up and do my best.

We had a PR group meeting last night about Crime City Rollers oncomming bout against Stockholm Roller Derby :) It's Swedens first bout and I really look forward to it! To be on the travel team would rock my socks! The bout is on the 12th of March at Limhamn gymnasium in Malmö.
Soon there will be posters up about this and some days later the ticket release. I'm sure that we're gonna have an awesome time, but how many people will come and look?
