Better than I have in a while...

Sick to my stomach. How else am I supposed to feel? I want to go home.

Don't we all...

Like something bad is about to happen. Anyone that knows me knows that I don't usually say things like that. But my gut is telling me that something is seriously wrong.

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you...

Thank you <3

Peace. And to be held, which isn't even an option right now.

Sobbing over the passing of one of my jr skaters and one of my friends. All within 24 hours of each other. Sobbing like it's my fucking job...

Indeed. This cements my reason for going to school. In other news, I'm now also mourning my friend (some of you know her), Beth Gancos. Two people in 24 fucking hours. No more, please. No fucking more.

Thank you both, very much <3

Devastated. One of my jr skaters committed suicide last night. My daughter and I found out around 3 today, and the tears haven't stopped. She was only 15. Fifteen. I've never cried so hard. Not even when my dad passed. She had her whole life ahead of her. I know...we ALL say this when a young person dies. She was recovering from an eating disorder. She suffered from depression and anxiety. I don't think anyone saw this coming. My daughter had reached out to her a while ago. The weight of this pain must've been too much for her to bear. Both of our jr travel teams are playing in Mackinac this weekend. They're playing for her. My daughter is playing tomorrow. She's playing for her. My heart is SO heavy. So very, very heavy...

You guys...I was nominated for this by my friend JoJo McCloud (Josie Villegas). I honestly didn't take it seriously, mostly because while I have a LOT of ink, I'm also almost 50 years old and didn't believe that I belonged here. I was apparently wrong, because I made the top 15. Frankly, I'm in shock. This isn't just any lame pageant. They're also looking for those who do nice things for the community. After thinking about that for a moment, I realized that I've done and continue to do a LOT: I collect clothing, shoes, and outerwear for Detroit's homeless population and deliver it to Roger Dyjak and the crew at Detroit Tough (the amazing gym where I work out), I've volunteered for Habitat for Humanity of Lapeer County with my former team, the Demolitia Derby Queens, and I presently volunteer for Affirmations in Ferndale while working on my degree in order to help those in the LGBT community. I want to save lives. So, I do belong here. All I ask is that you go to the page and "like" it, "like" my pic and share it with EVERYONE. If I make the top 7, this means that I'll be at the event and in the running for the top 3. I would be very thankful <3 Again... Like the INK page and then, like my pic. https://www.facebook.com/INKartshowDetroit?fref=photo Thank you!!

Sore and slightly less homicidal. I fucking love the gym...

I hate clubs and don't enjoy drunks. You stick to your guns and the right one will show up.

After five hours of being on-skates with a world-class men's derby skater, I'd say that I'm tired.

Shy and observant.

Rawr.

Come on, big daddy...

What would you like me to do right now?

Fabulous.

Happy Birthday!

It doesn't matter if you like Star Wars or Star Trek...the world is a lot more empty and sad, right now.

I'm supposed to know this??

I don't typically complain about it. I mean, I chose to move here. But yikes...

I think that it's WAAAY too cold to go to the gym. I don't typically think like that, but brrrrr...
