Roller Derby @ MindSay 
I haven't been able to get out to the Roller Derby much at all this season but some friends and I made it out there this past Sunday afternoon for the end of season Championship bout that was rescheduled from the 14th (Thanks again Ike!). Here are a couple of Pix. It's hard to get a good clear picture when the girls are wizzing by on wheels. Here are the best I got.
Howdy howdy all!
Well this is a sort of Roller Derby/ Paganista update all in one...First of all me and Torridgirl went to the roller Derby Championships last Sunday and had a blast! Our Houston derby girls played against the Dallas Divas and mopped the floor with them! That is it! I am trying out for real in January and that is all there is to it!
I got some great photos and some even better videos so without further ado....Here are some highlights....
The Burlesque Brawlers and the Houston Brawlers warming up....
A nasty spill caught on film...give it a second cuz it takes a few turns around the rink before it happens...
Check out the halftime fun!
A nifty dance troupe...
Torridgirl actually caught one of the fights on video!!!! 
She posted it right before the second costume update...
BTW Torridgirl I can indeed fit into my costume, thank you very much! 
Oh well ya'll I am doing alright and school is wearing me out proper so all is indeed fine in the world..LOL! I am goin to Ren Faire with Torridgirl and 2 of her friends (THANKS FOR INVITING ME YA'LL) on tomorrow and I will be the funkiest fairy there ever was...Don't worry I am so absurdly shameless that I will certainly post the photos!!!
How about some poetry...here goes....(hmm, I thought for sure it would dissipate, but.... 
)
The Dream
All trembling in my arms Aminta lay,
Defending of the bliss I strove to take;
Raising my rapture by her kind delay,
Her force so charming was and weak.
The soft resistance did betray the grant,
While I pressed on the heaven of my desires;
Her rising breasts with nimbler motions pant;
Her dying eyes assume new fires.
Now to the height of languishment she grows,
And still her looks new charms put on;
– Now the last mystery of Love she knows,
We sigh, and kiss: I waked, and all was done.
`Twas but a dream, yet by my heart I knew,
Which still was panting, part of it was true:
Oh how I strove the rest to have believed;
Ashamed and angry to be undeceived! --Arphra Behn
Goddess bless
1st off let me say that I LLLOOOVVVEEE the Roller Derby. It is always a blast! Those girls never fail to entertain me. I went with environgirl and a couple of other ladies. It was not at the usual arena since it was not a regular season bout. It was held downtown and they had it set up for floor seating and midway through the games we moved up to the balcony seats. I got some killer shots from both venues. Including a great video of a cat fight! Don't miss it! Enjoy the Pics! Especially the one Of my legs right along the crash zone black and yellow tape where we were sitting!!!
Who's ready for that Cat fight? Keep watching, you can't miss it!
Peace out Y'all! Enjoy the Tao Te Ching....

Those who lead people by following the Tao
don't use weapons to enforce their will.
Using force always leads to unseen troubles.
In the places where armies march,
thorns and briars bloom and grow.
After armies take to war,
bad years must always follow.
The skillful commander
strikes a decisive blow then stops.
When victory is won over the enemy through war
it is not a thing of great pride.
When the battle is over,
arrogance is the new enemy.
War can result when no other alternative is given,
so the one who overcomes an enemy should not dominate them.
The strong always weakened with time.
This is not the way of the Tao.
That which is not of the Tao will soon end.
Oh yeah baby... It's Roller Derby time! I love Roller Derby day! Since our league is so young and new we only get a bout every month or so and it is my big night out. I am such a homebody but this keeps me running for the door. I can't wait for Sunday! As soon as I figure out how to insert photo's into my blog you are going to be sick of Derby pic's.

Renounce knowledge and your problems will end.
What is the difference between yes and no?
What is the difference between good and evil?
Must you fear what others fear?
Nonsense, look how far you have missed the mark!
Other people are joyous,
as though they were at a spring festival.
I alone am unconcerned and expressionless,
like an infant before it has learned to smile.
Other people have more than they need;
I alone seem to possess nothing.
I am lost and drift about with no place to go.
I am like a fool, my mind is in chaos.
Ordinary people are bright;
I alone am dark.
Ordinary people are clever;
I alone am dull.
Ordinary people seem discriminating;
I alone am muddled and confused.
I drift on the waves on the ocean,
blown at the mercy of the wind.
Other people have their goals,
I alone am dull and uncouth.
I am different from ordinary people.
I nurse from the Great Mother's breasts.
