What I did today, and what I won't be doing tomorrow (or anytime soon)

Today I wrote an e-mail to the ADD board.


This is what it said:


Dear ADD board, Fresh meat Committee and all other important ADD people,

Through this mail I would like to thank you for welcoming me in your midst the way you have. For giving me a chance to try and start loving derby once again. I want to thank you for accommodating me, involving me and being the awesome people you are. You've done all you could to help a derby depressed girl out.

And I wished I could say it worked. I wished all your efforts and love had been enough. But I am sad to admit, it didn't and it wasn't. I have tried and perked myself up time and time again, but my love of playing derby has really died. I felt it the most during the preparations for your last bout. Everyone was stoked, as they should be. I couldn't even find a spark within myself that was remotely as firestarting as you were, or as I should have been. I just couldn't be bothered.

Whenever I hear someone talk about derby, my stomach turns, and I cannot fathom why this person is so damn happy about it. I know, that is bad.

So I've given all this a lot of thought, and decided I will not force myself to be involved in something that I don't enjoy anymore. In other words, I write you, to tell you I am quitting ADD. I wished it were different, but this is what feels best to me. I want to thank you for all your kindness and help. I will always be a fierce ADD supporter (I own the legwarmers to prove it) and if ever I fall into good money I will sponsor the shit out of you.

Until then, thank you again for everything, keep winning, stay ADD.

Love,

Asa Spades

I was happy to find out, they completely understood. I got the sweetest reply possible. In keeping with the ADD awesomeness.

So I guess this is the official end of me as a derby girl.

I will finish that damn challenge though, even if it kills me.

;)

Thank you all for bearing with me...

Asa
