Train trip to Denmark

I'm going to Denmark today, with a stop-over in Malmö, to see Vix Viking from Crime City Rollers. Sweden is rolling by outside and I acctually slept for a couple of hours, the train to Malmö/Copenhagen is not bad, and I got a ticket on Tradera (the Swedish version of e-bay) for only 160 skr (that's about 23 dollars).

Sweden started of with being snow-covered outside the window, not it's just all sorts of shades of brown with naked trees and frozen lakes. Brrrrr... it really is November... I wanna sit at home and eat soup, I love soup during the fall and the winter and instead I'm rushing thruogh Sweden, but maybe I get to eat soup with Malou tonight. Yaya!!

I know I said I was gonna start working out, and it has to happen real soon. There are three things that makes me majorly cranky, not enough food, not enough sleep and not working out... yeah, no kidding, I am really cranky right now. I have a hard time sleeping during the nights, I have not gotten into a good work-out routine yet and I just keep on forgetting to eat and then end up snacking on something really unhealthy...

Yepp, there you go I am pushing ALL the three reasons for crankyness.... MMmMMmmm... call me the FLYING BITCH from Sweden... maybe my name should be Swede Bitch instead of the current Swede Hurt... I need coffee, I am going to venture around the train to find that suprisingly good coffee they have on the train!

This weekend is going to be packed of action, starting with Copenhagen Roller Derby having a party tomorrow, Crime City has a party on Saturday, but I'm not able to attend, because I'm going to work some event with the Copenhagen girls... and then I have to return to Stockholm on Sunday, oh the joy of traveling, I'm just hoping I can land a cheap ticket back to Stockholm!

Day Eight

(it's for her and myself I will get more fit, i have to beat her in wrestling)

Manhattan Mayhem scrimmage against Queens went very well, I jammed some and blocked some, in the end I was in four jams in a row and ended up putting myself in the box. Not cool, I am working hard to get my penalties under control. It is so imortant to play clean, you are not helping your team at all if you are sitting in the box, or if you are at three minors, when your team really needs you to jam. So I really have to get out of the habit of being OK with cutting hte track minors, because they DO acumilate, and all of a sudden I'm that DAMNED jammer who cannot jam or has to poodle, not good!
Considering I spent nine hours on a flight I thought I did a really good job, I for sure have my feet under me, and so does my team seem to have. There are only five days to our bout against Brooklyn, and I feel really confident. I love Manhattan Mayhem, there is so much spirit and laughing... and of course the orange...

But... OHHH... what undies to wear... what undies to wear.... (boutfit anxiety)

Day Seven

(Hm, when I said we cooked, I meant Malou cooked and I looked adoringly at her)

Sometimes just spending time with the person you love is awesome, and today was one of those days, we just layed around, went for a walk, made food together and then went for another walk. A bunch of guys felt it was really important to them to call out ''Lesbians, Lesbians'' after us... very mature...

Workout: I went for a walk with my hot girl for about and hour... the rest of the day I spent in bed...

Breakfast: Coffee with milk, greek yohurt with muesli and berries
Lunch: 4 Swedish Pancakes with oats served with ice-cream and ruhbarb jam
Snack: 8 pieces of black salty liqirioce and some roasted corn snacks
Dinner: Shared 16 pieces of mixed sushi with Malou

Ok, so here we go again...

(Me with some girls from Copenhagen Roller Derby and Malmo Roller Derby at Copenhagen Pride representing Vagine Regime Nordic)

Hometown Throwdown in Portland was a success and I got to both jam and block, had some penalty problems... I have to clean myself up.. more than a shower will do... So from today I am also starting to work on that... Damn me!
So I went to Denmark and Sweden and then I went camping with Manhattan Mayhem upstate New York... Kayaking was superfun and I now have a blister in my hand... I was really jetlagged so I kept on falling asleep by the campfire... I think it entertained one or two people!
So I have a bout in 11 days and then Regionals in 26 days... So here is my own 26 days of shaping myself up a little more... nudging myself towards the goal I have to be better and better...
