Derby meeting and a date!

We had a Derby meeting this past monday.

I have to pay 65$ next Monday, for dues and to be in the St. Patty's parade.

I got my Docs yesterday, they hurt my ankles because i'm not used to them and haven't broken them in yet.

I need to find a painting teacher that likes my work, especially since i'm not 100% if painting is going to be my official major within art or not.

I think i'm going to start painting everyday, even if I don't feel like painting.

I've been looking up more derby videos, bouts and fights.

I've got a rigorous workout for derby.

I start practice next tuesday and i'm getting my hair cut that day.

I got my two pentacles in the mail the other day and my derby pads.

I watched some videos on how to stop when roller skating.

I've been really tired lately, I think i'm getting a sinus infection.

I need to be more productive!

I'm going to draw a derby logo later today after I finish my Art History work.

I'm trying to decide on my derby name, all the names I really like are taken.

I kind of want a Depeche Mode band shirt, for some reason.

I have to do a drawing for Advanced Drawing this weekend.

I took Alec on a date to see Blind Side and eat some Coldstone Ice Cream.

I rather like this skirt, for derby? Other Derby clothes?

Derby, Derby, DERBY!

Well the good news is that we get to keep the space AND open up two new locations in the mall!

More good news, I get to change my studio area to a different spot in the back, a bigger one with more wall space.

I'm so happy! I can add a sewing/fashion area!

I found a lot of sites for exercising when your a roller derby girl.

Land Training

Roller Derby Victoria

If your thinking of joining a derby team try these routines they might make it easier for you to advance faster than having to make so many lifestyle changes when you join the team.

I got my helmet, toe guard, wrench, speeed spray and mouth guard yesterday I had to try on the helmet and mouth guard right away. I'm so happy to get my stuff!

I'm going to start posting more photos once derby starts, of me in all my gear.

AND once I dye my hair too.

I've been having problems with my hair (faded to a deep brown with my lightish roots), it also needs a cut and I need to dye it burgundy or red.

I really want a new tattoo and a new piercing.

I bought these two shirts:

I need new tights, a lot of new tights.

I also need to clean my room and sell some things.

I like this color and style (I posted this pic in a previous post too)

I might get my hair done like This.

I've been thinking of electing to take classes in stage make up and intro. to costume design, understanding stage make up helps you to do your own make up better.

I really need to get this shit done.

Oi!

*leaves*

P.s.

Check out this 'Whip', crazy right? She used her FOOT!

Trying new hair and possible let downs

Well, i'm trying to find a new haircut.
I want to get my hair cut and then bleached so I can dye it burgundy/purple ish.









I love ALL of these!

Ci | Creative might be closed down (hence the let down/bad news comment), we will find out this weekend.
I'm PISSED if we do get shut down I have to turn my room in to my studio which could take up to a week or two, which we may not have before we get kicked out.
That is really shitty.
The other day I did an animal tarot reading and it basically said Amy Boettcher is not a positive person for Ci| Creative and it said I need to confront the people who take me for granted. My inner child is represented by the mouse; the next day I saw a mouse at work and it came from nowhere literally, there was no place for it to come from and it hopped across my vision and vanished again.
I took it as a good sign from the universe.
I'm a shamanic pagan, in case if any of you didn't know that already and were wondering about this girl who takes mice as signs of good and talks to spiders.

I got half credit for my peer review on Monday and i'm using my 'HELP' card for this essay to turn it in on Monday, February 22nd, 2010.
I have to go to Hobby Lobby and pick up some art supplies and then go get Alec and go to Ci| Creative. I work at 3-10:30pm today.
Ouch.

Guild Disaster and skipping class

Well, the Peoria Art Guild is shutting its doors April 1st.
Which means no MAP group next summer, so we were the last MAP group to pass through.
They fired Erin Robert, Randi Graham and one other woman named Cathy.
They got rid of their Studio School and educational programs.
Many of us are going to write letters to the board of directors telling them (in more profound words) that they are dumb asses, we don't trust them and that they gave Ci| Creative a wonderful opportunity to start teaching classes (some of which Alec and I will be teaching), as well as a good position to open an art store in the front of Ci| Creative.
Alec and I will be paid at Ci| Creative here within the next 2-3 months, hopefully.
When this rolls around I might be able to quit RAVE.
I need to take a week and go through EVERYTHING I have, and decide what stays and what goes.
A lot needs to go.
I'm trying to organize an Earth Day event and I shall donate a % of whatever is made to Wildlife organizations to promote conservation.
A woman from the Stunt Devils is coming to help teach us how to fall properly and other useful Derby tricks.
I am excited for life, and rather hungry.
I work later, bummer.
I skipped English today because I was ten minutes late and she shut the door already.
Whoops!

Guess what?!
THESE are my dream Derby skates!

Life and Times pt 2

I started a new art piece for Advanced Drawing, it had to be a 'conceptual self portrait'.
I really like mine so far.
Hopefully, I can post it soon; I need to start keeping together my art work that is going in to a portfolio for myself.

I had my first Derby meeting yesterday.

It seems like it is going to be a lot of fun, since we are starting after the season began in January, we are going to be practicing, no bouts, so we can pass the WFTDA(Women's Flat Track Derby Association) approval to skate in bouts next January.

I'm excited.

I bought my derby gear, I also bought tons of clothes from Salvation Army today.

I think i've FINALLY decided on my Derby name, but it won't be mine until after 20 practices within three months (the criteria to be an 'official' member of the team).

Then, I get to register it!

I'm thinking of silkscreening it on the back of my derby shirt and other things, like a jacket.

I bought and watched Whip It with Alec last night.

It was good, some things changed from the book but it was a good interpretation of it.

Our next Derby meeting is February 22nd, then March 1st and we OFFICIALLY start practice March 2nd.

We have to come up with a logo and a name for our team(s) [depending on the number of girls].

I bought Doc Martens and some books.

I need to buy outdoor wheels and a derby related shirt.

I also might be able to get Alec and I a car here soon!

I think i'll take pictures of all our practices and post them on here.

=].

We are also going to visit other derby teams around Illinois and watch their bouts!

I'm also going to work out more and try to eat better.

I need to go sketch up some logo ideas and do more art history homework.

I'm SOOOO excited for Roller Derby!!!!

Style

So lately i've been wanting to add more pieces to my closet and weed out things I don't wear anymore.
I want a few things (which I will list) and I am also feeling torn between getting a new tattoo this month or next month versus getting more art supplies.
Alec and I went to the Dick Blick outlet store and it was AMAZING!
They have their headquarters in Galesburg and have a sales section where everything is super cheap.
I bought SOOO much stuff.
I might get my grant money next month, if I do I need to buy breaks for this car, get insurance, get my tortoise a new cage, get my roller derby equipment and I think that might be it.
I'm trying to think of my next tattoo, I want something of a quote either from one of my favorite books or artists, possibly something with a bird or cage.
OR I could get my favorite Emily Dickinson poem tattooed on me.
It is long though.
