the girl with the roller skate jams....

So, I skated last night— and I didn’t fall! Well, barely. I nearly bit oh, at least a dozen times. Particularly embarrassing was the time that I nearly ran head-first into Ted Angel...But the point here is that I didn’t—and this after at least 10 years of not skating. I felt particularly groovy while skating to Madonna and Blondie. What’s more is that Cory skated. He told me he wasn’t going to—he told me it’d been 10 years and he wasn’t even going to try and then next thing I know he’s lacing up a pair of skates and skating laps around me. He pretty much rocked…Anyway, even though I am seriously rusty and couldn’t even master the simple toe-stop, all I wanna do now is skate. I woke up this morning thinking of skating…So now I’m going to buy a pair of indoor/outdoor skates and, because I’ll be skating outside, a pair of kneepads and maybe even a helmet. I long ago gave up any hopes of ever looking cool doing anything so why worry about it now? I’ve also started mentally compiling my iPod roller jams playlist. It features plenty of Madonna and Blondie as well as some Donna Summer, Le Tigre, !!! and the like…I’d appreciate any good song suggestions to help me get my groove on. I love feeling 12 again. Oh yeah, Cory did tell me that when he was growing up in Woodland, "nobody cool" skated after 6th grade. Um, I skated well into junior high and even some in high school, so there you have it..
