It's Britney, bitch

Oops I did it again.
I forgot to blog. Well, not really forgot, I just didn't have time. Life gets in the way. Soz blogz.

Turns out my awful week was all PMS. Oh, sweet ballsup girlie problems, thanks for effing with my miiiiiiiiind!

I have had a pretty rad week. On Thursday night I made the EPIC journey to our sister league to skate and smash with my schweethearts down there. And smash indeed! Training was taken by Alison Chainsaw. It was great, her American accent makes everything sound more legit! It was focus scrims with emphasis on getting the jammer through and switching from Offense to Defense and back again. Really cool. I was on the track for most of the time. I fell a lot. And I jammed back-to-back for most of it. That was surprising; I thought Entropy would pull me out and put me in the pack to protect me but I really respect that he let me find my own limits. I called off the last jam of the night near tears of frustration, because things were getting slopping and as I fell I coped a kick to the fingers and a few kicks to the shins (I have the bruises to prove it!). Oh, and I picked up loads of minors, mainly for cutting track and one for skating out of bounds. Entropy also pulled me up for being on my outdoor wheels, he thinks I need something harder to get steppier. He's on Witch Doctors and is swearing by them, saying he was trying to get speed to see if he would slide out and couldn't. To be fair, the floor was particularly sticky, a welcome change from their usual icy concrete, but Entropy's speed and agility aren't reeeeeeally comparable to mine, even with a broke ankle ;-). He did get me thinking that it's time to shed my baby steps of outdoor wheelies, and I'm looking in to Juke 2.0's. I've had my eye on them since they came out, but with my trip to the States looming, I'd luuuurve to pick up a pair from Ivanna S Pankin at Sin City Skates, SD. I want to see if she remembers me! I doubt it, it was a pretty whirlwind trip and I was very nervous and a whole lot shier then! I'm thinking about alloy hubs, too. They would be super sweet. But there's about a $30 price difference. OH SHUCKS I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF!! Money is going to be suuuuuuuuper tight when I'm there, I should probably focus on EATING, not omfghowmuchawesomefancyshitcanIbuy? I'm already getting the cheapest plates available (fitted by the babeliest babe around, swoon) and was considering not getting toe stops but now I realise I need to because mine are so worn I can feel the metal getting ready to poke through! And I'm not even that good on my toe stops!!! My auntie offered to send me my birthday money early so I could spend it when I get over there. That will help me so much! Fark. Am considering selling my body for the next week for some extra cash. Or when I get there - prostitution is pretty rife in LA, right? And I might pick up a celebrity. It could be worse.

Speaking of focusing on food, my focus hasn't been that strong for the past few days. It always happens around this time of the month though. I still eat predominantly healthy (80/20 at the least), but I eat incessantly! I spoke to Krissy today and she said I can bring my Derbalife stuff over so I'm going to ask my Mooma and Moopa if I can take our stab blender with me too so I can whip up shakes at my hotels. They both have free continental brekkie so I can swag some milk and fruit and I'll be sorted for half the day! Then I will just have to watch my snacks and my one meal will be a goodie. Or two meals, I guess, if I'm skating for like 8 hours a day! Oh, and the drinking. I will have to try to be light on that!

I had a smaaaall glass of wine last night; we had a big bbq around here and it was hard to avoid cheese. And my wine ended up being started and finished with about an hour break in between while I spoke to my auntie. It was a pretty rough day of eating. I spent the night at my brother's in Brisbane and spent the rest of the day on a train. It was sorta like this:

• 6am - Apple
• 8am - Egg and bacon sammich
• 12pm - Pretzels (train station. end of story.)
• 3pm - Derbalife yogurt - nonfat Greek yog + banana and honey yog + quarter banana + Formula 1 + protein powder - could have been thicker.
• 6:30pm - Rice crackers with cheese and guac; grapes
• 8pm - Grilled chicken breasts and lotsa salads.
• 9ish - tiiiiiiny cuts of macadamia slice and mint slice, and 1 red Lindt ball

It was delicious. And for being on the road all day, I truly tried to eat as well as possible! So now to ramp this shit up for teh next week - am's and pm's, Debalife for life, and super-strict on the cash! AAARRRGGGGGHHHH I'M GOING TO LA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
