rolling dreams

I tend to have some pretty intense dreams, most of which entail me running around, flying and escaping some sort of terror. Last night I had a dream where I was able to snag a sweet pair of roller-skate shoes out of my bag, throw them on and skate out of trouble. It was super intense! I was rolling up and down railings, hills and even scaling buildings! I don't remember having roller-shoes available when I was a kid, because if they were, I would've definitely been sporting a pair, probably everywhere I went.
I was super excited a couple years ago to help my friend Go-Go Gidget start the Omaha Rollergirls. I was once again able to get back on skates and feel the freedom of gliding along in the open air. Too bad that I fractured my wrist and had no insurance, along with the fact that it took more commitment than I could offer and I didn't really get along with the type of girls that were interested and becoming a part of it all. I stopped skating before we had a real bout, but I am glad that I was able to help start it all and get on skates for a few months, it is super great exercise!!
Maybe I should grab a pair of the roller-shoes for when I start my doctorate program this fall, I could skate to all my classes! =)

I would love to see you sporting some Roller shoes to your PhD program. I would actually be full of glee!! Gliding your way to freedom.

I have desperately wanted a pair of roller shoes for quite some time now.

I love rollerblading if you ever want to go!

I do, but just one pair. Corey got a pair last year too. He thought he was too cool for it, but I convinced him to get some and he was better on them than me!
