Is that a real bruise?! Because if so, that is impressive. And painful looking.
Haha, no; our B-Team are called the “Bruisers” so the bruises are part of our uniform :)

What was the score in the end? :)
Sorry, it was a closed-door bout which means no scores! I can tell you it was a pretty damn close bout. Those Croydon girls are damn good!
Guess who Croydon Roller Derby voted their Most Feared Blocker of the Brighton Bruisers?
Oh, that’s right, ME! And I did it with the cartilage in my left knee torn!
Gaaaah, I am both shocked and pleased! I’ve said ever since I started that I wanted to get MFB, but I never thought I actually WOULD. Just because MFB tends to go to the blockers who do the big, flashy hits and my style is more “extreme booty blocking” :D
So, thank you Croydon. You’ve made my year so far :)
How cool is this? It’s a documentary about the Brighton Rockers Roller Derby!
PLEASE REBLOG THIS LIKE THE PLAGUE
This is a petition on the Directgov website - this goes straight through to parliment and at the current time of posting it only has 21 signatures
I know a lot of people are reblogging the one sponsored by anonymous which is great but if you live in the UK, this is going to be your best best at getting yourself heard about ACTA - even if you don’t live in the UK or even the EU, PLEASE REBLOG THIS, as ACTA is something that not only affects Europe but the rest of the world as well and this could be one of the only opportunities for it to be downturned
alright i didn’t really wanna get involved with this madness but hey, a legitimate petition on a government website actually feels a lot more effective than a lot of stuff going around
THERE ARE SO MANY OF THESE
CRYING
*rolls eyes* Like it requires so much effort to reblog them? Note: you can only sign this if you’re a UK citizen or resident. Still reblogging this cos all my homies there, yo.
First day living in Brighton, oh yeah :) (Taken with Instagram at Devil’s Dyke)
Am I actually sitting in bed wearing my new furry hat? Yes. Yes I am. I regret nothing. (Taken with instagram)

Quadzilla is unfuckingreal.
If you haven’t watched Quadzilla jumping people before WATCH THIS NOW. I think it’s 8 in this one. There does exist video of him jumping 10 people, somewhere on youtube. Amazeballs.
You can find this item here!
Can I please have this?
ELLY WE MUST GET ONE OF THESE. YES.

NaNoWriMo Newlyweds
Sometimes we get emails that are so good we just can’t keep them to ourselves. This email from Jonny in Leeds is one of those. We post it here with his kind permission.
Dear all at the Office of Letters and Light,
In 2009, prompted by a customer at Borders in Leeds, UK, where I worked at the time, I signed up to NaNoWriMo.org for the first time. Not four days into my time looking around the forums, gathering ideas for my first novel and checking out other people’s synopses, I received some NaNoMail from a Bay Area, CA resident named Kristina Casto who was looking for overseas writing buddies and a chance to share her previous three years’ NaNo experience. We got talking on MSN messenger and shortly after on Skype, and soon realised we had much more in common than we thought. By the time NaNoWriMo 2009 was over, Kristina already had plans to visit me in the UK, and we knew we were looking at something special. (Incidentally, I still want to finish my novel from that year, which involved a religion based around the music of David Bowie. It’ll happen one of these days.)
These are two of my Brighton Wrimos! I met them for the first time last Wednesday, and they are truly fantastic, interesting people. Kristina is also joining the Brighton Rockers next lot of fresh meat, so I look forward to hitting her lots. Y’know, with derby love.
Next November there will potentially be FIVE Rockers doing the NaNo crazy dance with me! (Three are joining fresh meat, and I think I’ve converted one of the Bruisers. SCORE!)
This ramble has been bought to you by: too much pizza, not enough sleep, very few words written, and two hours of roller derby. AKA, my life. Sorry.
