The Annual Nationals Post (part the first)

[rallamajoop]

It's that time of year again* - tomorrow I'll be flying out to Queensland for a little over a week for the Rollerskating National Championships. Not precisely what you'd call a stress free holiday, but it's a lot better than nothing, and I am definitely ready for a break. (Wish me luck - I'm going to need it. ^^;;;)

And since I don't have too many writing projects in the works right now and I'm hoping to have at least a little breathing space while over there, I'm doing an xxxHOLiC AU request meme over here, and anyone who's into the series and might not have seen that post otherwise is more than welcome to come to play.


* Well okay, actually not - usually I'd have until September or so, but the internationals** being in Australia later on in the year have mucked up the schedule like you wouldn't believe.
** No, I am not going to be in the internationals. Don't ask me again. What'd you think I am, talented at this stuff or something? =P

Good luck :D My crowbar is at the ready if you require my services.

Aww... but you know that would be unsportsmanlike...

>.>

How about the judges? I can think of a few judges who could stand a good kneecapping, or the threat thereof...*evil grin*

asdfbs, you're coming to Queensland?! :D Where in Queensland? I live in Brisbane. If it were possible to organise something in a day when you're undoubtedly very busy, I would say we should go places, assuming you're in the same area as me. :3

Even if you're not - good luck with it! :D It would be totally awesome if you did make it to internationals. :3

Thanks for the offer, but we're going to be down on the Gold Coast rather than Brisbane, so that's probably a bit far out of the way.

The thing is, the way our events are set up, I'm not even in a grade that's eligible for the internationals. So even if phred_has_sonar takes to all the other competitors with his crowbar and I come first, it doesn't make any difference. Theoretically I could always switch to an international grade, but I'm so far from being up to that standard that there really isn't any point. And it'd take a lot of the fun out of it for me if I had to train seriously enough to make it worthwhile.
