So Saturday nights sean and I started going roller skating so I can practice skating at the rink where the team I'm trying out for plays. Yesterday we went to watch the bout so of course no public skating at that time so we went today instead. Seriously the community seems really cool and friendly! The last Saturday I was there I was trying to buy a certain skate tool from the guy at the skate shop. They didn't carry it but the guy in charge recognized me and started asking if I was trying out for roller derby. Then he even said he'd order the tool for me so they can send it to the shop for me to get it. Yeah it's the same price if I ordered it online but I don't have to worry about paying extra for shipping which is awesome for me. The lady who's always at the front door giving tickets introduced herself to me when she found out I wanted to do roller derby. Then they both started talking about how there were actually some girls skating from the team. However, I'm shy so of course I figured I'll meet them when I meet them.

Then once Sean and I started skating a man started asking me about if I was trying to join roller derby. He thought I was trying out for jr's though LOL (btw that's girls 9-17 people, I'm 22). He was actually SO NICE! He was this gray haired man talking to me about how great the team is and how within the next month I'm gonna learn so much. Talked about how he was so bad when he first started out. He pointed out another derby girl, gave me SO MUCH advice, and then he fixed up my wheels since I still don't have a skate tool!!!
