Christmas was a blast. Santa skipped my house and forgot to drop off my Riedell Wickeds, but I did get a great iPOD stereo/docking station from my husband, so it's all good. I caught a Christmas cold that hasn't gone away and have a bit of a sinus infection kicking around I think, but I'll be alright. We're off derby practices for the holidays so I can rest it off.

In other news, I'm busily working on some projects for MTLRD, so Derby Luv has been quiet. Sorry about that! I'm only one rollergirl, sadly, and I haven't figured out how to blog while I'm skating, or how to be in more than one place at a time yet. In good news, along with Georgia and I, we have Caitlin, a rookie rollergirl and Chet Wisconsin, ref in the UK, signing on to be bloggers. We'll stay tuned to see what they can add to our lovely little site here.

Talk to me, people, send your news, your announcements, games and parties, in a text and image format I can copy paste and I can bet I'll get some of them online within a day or two!

Later, skaters! Derby Luv and Happy New Year to you! Catch ya in 08!

Drew Barrymore is going to be directing a film about roller derby! According to Productioncharts.com the film is about, "a Midwestern, small-town, teenage girl discovers the high-energy world of roller derby and must decide if she’s willing to go against her parents and friends in order to pursue the sport she loves".

They better be filming this in Montreal! I think everyone could go for a GWT cameo. Everyone, aka my mom.

I also have some exciting announcements to make in the near future. Stay tuned!

This photo is for all of you that live in hot weather! This is a photo from my window looking down onto the street after a two-day long blizzard. Think of all of us here freezing our tushies off.

So in the past two weeks, I've been kinda quiet, I know. The kickoff to the holiday season has come with a bang. I enjoyed a drunkfest with my Contrabanditas teammates two weekends ago that left me hurtin on Saturday morning... I was hungover and seem to remember being made to make prank calls to friends, and stumbling down some stairs... hahah

This weeked I had a day job work party with an open bar that went well, I wasn't that drunk, but the cab I was in on the way home decided to pull out into traffic and get us hit right in front of my building, so that was fun... *yeah right*

In other news, I have Chet Wisconsin, a ref for the Central City Roller Derby in the UK, becoming a blogger for Derby Luv - this week will be his premiere! And a new Rollergirl piece on the Little Rock Derby Girls has been agreed upon so watch to meet some Little Rock rollergirls!

I am big on the dreams for Derby Luv, but need help. I am still looking for Canadian skaters that might want to play a game as a Derby Luv team at Rollercon 2008 (if i can get us a team to play against and get permission from RollerCon to be in a scrimmage with our name) - We have about 6 confirmed players from Vancouver to Montreal, so if you want to be on the team, contact me! We need to start talking options and fundraising.

Derby Luv wants to do a better job, so if you have any suggestions for stories, or ideas on what you'd like to see more of, let me know!
