After weeks of what seemed like endless snow, the weather has finally changed to warmer temperatures and a friendly sun. As I’ve said previously (and previously before that), I want to be a roller derby girl when I grow up (which’ll be sometime this year, that I’ll grow up). But, I need to effing learn how to rollerskate again. Now, I know rollerskating rinks are inside places, but the nice weather makes me want to rollerskate. And so it is.
I sent these exact words to my sister via text message yesterday: “This is going to sound loony, but would you want to go rollerskating tomorrow?” Luckily, she accepted, and now we’ve just got to find a rink that hasn’t already shut down due to lack of enthusiasm for one of my favorite past-times. Seriously, tweens, why do you hate rollerskating? You know that’s what we old people did, like, every weekend, right? You guys suck.
Anywho, then I made a playlist because I’m sure the rollerskating rink music is still as lame as it ever was (re: awesome).
