When I first got the rollerskates pictured in the images below, I emailed Deeky, under the subject line "Why I Am Awesome," the following message: "Because these just arrived."
Deeky: What the fuck are you going to do with a pair of rollerskates?
Liss: What do you think I'm going to do with them, asshole? I'm gonna skate!
Deeky: LOL! All I know is if my klutzy ass got on a pair of roller skates I'd be dead in about 15 minutes. But as a kid I was a skatin' motherfucker!
Liss: I was a skatin' motherfucker when I was a kid, too! Now I suck ass. It's not at all like riding a bike—you really do forget how to skate, lol. I was skating around the kitchen earlier, clinging to the counter like my life depended on it. The cats were looking at me like I was a killer robot from Planet Whatthefuck. It's going to take awhile to relearn how to skate.
Deeky: I think it is totally awesome that you're learning how to skate again. Seriously, who does that at your age?
Liss: LOL! Shut up! It will either be totally awesome or I'll end up in traction. In which case, you can sign my cast and mock me. Which will at least be awesome for you.
