dancerjodiThe rules of this game: List five quirky facts about yourself (I'm not tagging anyone else, but feel free to post the same in your LJ)
1. I was born and married in the year of the rabbit, and have been in love with the little lagamorphs since birth.
2. I used to rollerskate a lot when I was a kid, so when the blading craze took off I had a difficult time getting used to a back brake. I finally bought myself some quad skates this morning on e-bay. They're the first ones I'll be wearing since the time of junior high trips to the Wallex (I wore an old pair of Mom's skates that were super fast due to their wheels made of some kind of stone, versus the rubbery plastic the cheapie mainstream newer skates were).
3. I hate to shop.
4. Two albums remind me of sitting in my room and working on research papers in my freshman year of college: The Smiths "Louder than Bombs" and the 10,000 Maniacs "In My Tribe".
5. Green is my favorite color, though I own a surprisingly small amount of green clothing.

skating
Date: 2006-03-24 02:42 pm (UTC)I'd love to join you sometime! I'm sure a bit rusty, but it will be nice to get rolling again.
Of course, my skates are probably weenie in comparison to yours :). I bought some Sketchers ones because I'm not planning on doing derby in them, I find the sneakers themselves pretty comfy, and I noticed some of the TXRD gals wear them when just skating around outside for workouts (so they can't be all that bad qualitywise). If its good enough for Sister Mary Jane, I think its fine for me just getting my butt moving around my neighborhood! :)
