Brighton Rockers vs London Rollergirls Batter-C-Power

You’ve probably seen it before. I don’t care. I love it!
This is still the greatest hit I’ve ever seen, and not only that, it’s brilliant to watch Beyonslay just skating in a pack - anyone who says big girls can’t juke and jump with the rest of them can watch this, and then bite me :D
I also enjoy the fact that the video is titled:
“Rice Rocket takes a ride on Beyonslay”
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!

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.
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.

Can we have this painted on the floor/walls of the warehouse please?
It’s that time again - the undefeated Brighton Rockers take on the mighty Dublin Roller Girls in the battle of EUROCOLLISION.
Basically, come see me get the shit kicked out of me by awesome Irish ladies.
Now with ROLLER DISCO AFTERPARTY.

I just had one of those “holy crap” moments…
… Realising that I am going to be playing in a bout against the Dublin Roller Girls in three weeks.
And then realising that EIGHT of their players? Yeah, they are on Team Ireland.
Holy. Crap.
