Roller skating!

[randomness]

mizarchivist organized a group skate over at Roller World in Saugus. It was fun!

I realized that even though I hadn't been in a rink since high school, all those hours way back when laid down some serious muscle memory. I failed to fall at least two dozen times, saved by reflexes I didn't realize I had until after I'd recovered.

noire observed that when I first got on the floor, I looked like I didn't know what I was doing, but ten minutes later I looked like someone who knew how to skate.

The community for group skates is saugussk8. Join us!

I'm looking forward to going again because there are a whole host of things I used to be able to do when I was 17 which I want to try doing again.

(I suppose that's true of other things in my life as well as skating.)

I would really like to go sometime, if I can a) beg a ride and it happens on a night I can get. I used to skate for 5 hours every saturday morning at the local rollerrink, from age 11 to 13. Loved it, and think it might be a blast to go again.
