Tomorrow I'm visiting Cambridge to referee a Cambridge Rollerbillies Vs Nottingham Roller Derby bout, immediately followed by playing in the rookie game.
I've got friends and family watching. I'll be playing with skaters from my league, and strangers! πΌ
This is my:
* 2nd rookie game as a skater.
* 1st away game as a skater.
* 2nd away game as a referee.
* 1st game in the "Front Inside Pack" refereeing position, calling pack definition.
I managed to get myself refereeing *and* playing roller derby at a double-header next month.
My friend and refereeing mentor said "you've been bitten by the bug" , and I have to agree.
Particularly as I am on the way to London today to spend likely far too much on a new pair of quads that actually fit properly.
I am photographing Dublin pride today.
Its another pride where I've cried behind the camera. The events in the US and Oslo probably contributed to me having a lot of *feelings* today.
Just in case anyone was unsure - we still need pride. Pride is a protest. We will fight together for the rights of LGBT people, women and people of colour until we're safe from those who seek to harm us.
I am going to EMF camp on Thursday.
I'm super excited, a little anxious that I have nothing exciting to bring or run there when it seems like everyone else does.
I shall be helping to run Nottinghack's bar robot, breakfast bar and workshop tent as well as other Nottinghack bits.
Really looking forward to seeing so many hackers in one place.
I'm going to see My Chemical Romance tomorrow night.
I am excited, and nervous.
This is my first gig in a long time, and it being; outdoors, a long way away, and a big band gives me some anxiety.
I was meant to see a few bands recently, but they've all fell through :(
Hopefully the event isnt *too* overwhelming.
I am really looking forward to seeing MCR live, a teenage dream right there.
