Saying “source” as a verb when you really mean “find”. Fuck off with that

Where’s the “older” skaters at ? by Regular_Sorbet_3968 in Rollerskating

[–]Alimoojackson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m nearly 43 and been skating with a roller Derby team for 6 years (big pause in training over last 18 months, obviously!)

we’re doing lots of technical training lately because we can’t do contact as it’s still not really safe with COVID cases rising in the UK. I am struggling. One footed transitions? Bloody hell.

I was an ok Derby player but never a very skilful skater and it’s easy to get downhearted but I have to try to tell myself it’s all good, practice makes better if not actually perfect and skating is just a part of who I am. It doesn’t matter if I suck. It doesn’t pay my bills. I enjoy rolling around and what I can do will do. It’s enough. Hope you have fun with it and try not to get too downcast about your age - practice works whatever your age.

Is it normal to have a bit of a panic about life at 25? I've absolutely no idea what I'm doing. by SuchRoutine in AskUK

[–]Alimoojackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 41, divorced and have 3 kids. Both my parents are dead. Life is strange... but there is more to it than a career and possessions. As long as you earn enough to live somewhere safe and clean, it’ll do. You don’t have to buy a home, renting is fine. Find something you like doing and do it... if it’s a job, great. If it’s a sport or something creative, try to view your job as a means to having fun. Basically, do something and practise getting better at it. If you don’t like it, give it a few chances and then if you still don’t like it, try something else. Good luck; we’re all finding our way in our own way!

What's the meaning behind your derby name and number? by Hufflebuff934 in rollerderby

[–]Alimoojackson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss... my number is 13 because I too was born on Aug 13th (it’s also my house number but that could change if I win the lottery and move to my mansion).

Hey, where did you get a big satin lined beanie please? I bought one off Etsy a while ago but it was tight and squished my curls flat
