#4516 – it ain't "ricky twoshoes" but it gets me free food

This was posted over 18 years ago; my opinions, thoughts, attitude, and writing style may have evolved since then, and this post might have been different if it were to be posted today.

when i posted on the charm city roller girls’ photo pool on flickr to find people interested in letting me follow them around for a day or so to show what their usual life was like, i heard back from one girl who claimed she was the “most boring girl in the league”. i wrote back to her but hadn’t heard anything for the past month.

well, a few days ago i got an email back from her saying how she’d still be interested in helping me out for my project. long story short, i’m going to meet her on saturday (and maybe sunday too for additional photos), and the schedule goes something like this:

saturday:

  • take her dog for a walk
  • drive her (she doesn’t have a car) to the laundromat (where else?) so she can do her laundry / discuss project
  • go to a wedding (!)

    sunday:

  • team meeting / practice (depending on the captain / co-captain giving their OKs – it’s in a “secret location”, apparently)
  • may or may not go to open skate at skateland

    apparently everything so far has been given the go-ahead, even the wedding… her friend getting married said it’s fine for me to go as long as i don’t “steal her thunder”. who, me? looks like my shirt will have to stay on. i can even get my eat on at the reception; my guest name is “tommy firefly” — apparently i’ve got an alias!

    my photojournalism instructor is going to lolz when he hears about this tonight, hahaha…
