Their creator came up with this phrase while learning skating skills valuable in Roller Derby (trying to master transitions aka mowhawks), so a shout out of love to the fun learning environments of Potential Fresh Meat and Rat City’s Recreational Program. She’s in awe and terror of figure skaters who learn how to do this stuff without ALL THE PROTECTIVE GEAR.
Yes, I know I said I would give you a comic today, but I saw this beautiful drawing on my bookshelf and I knew I had to stick it to my wall of love and tell you all about it.
Nearly three months ago my sweetheart drew this for me while I was trying out for the Rat City Rollergirls Fresh Meat Program (called Rat Lab). I didn’t get in, but that didn’t stop my sweetheart from believing in me. Tryouts are coming up again and Saturday I’ll see if I’ve improved enough to get through. This will be the fourth time I try out for Rat City and I know even if I don’t get in this time either my sweetheart will keep on believing in me.
I love this drawing more than ever.
Aka a new part of the belief cycle. Previously on the Things.
In other news the creator of the Things just got on to the Rat City Roller Girls‘ Rat Lab (fresh meat/intensive training team). As Betsy Nails she hopes to do her best, skate hard and learn lots.
This weekend marks the beginning of the Division 1 Playoff Tournaments for Womens Flat Track Roller Derby Association in Tuscon Arizona! Best wishes to everyone and happy adventures.
