I'm Going to Buy a Pair of Roller Skates...
...and then start rollerskating! I'm terrified, I think I got kicked in the head at the roller rink once when I was little.
But lately I'm way into conquering fear. Some inspiration:
Xanadu, even though I've never seen it:
Van Halen, duh:
This piece by She Hit Pause Studios:
I want these skates! Or the ones on the right:
Oh look, it's Dave again! He's my rollerskating muse, if you must know. I bet he's wearing skates in both these pix:
I actual prefer my vitamin D in capsule form, but whatevs:
This video was shot so very close to my house! I love Becky's dress:
And my favorite rollerskater in the world, after David Lee Roth:
(His name's Harry Perry. He's from Venice Beach.)

I used to do my paper route on roller skates (when I was in grade 6 or 7 - very uncool at the time). I've been wanting a pair for ages, but my town is 99% insane hills.

And then you could do roller derby, Liz!
The other thing you might want to consider is getting customized skates. I ref with a guy who goes by "Gunshow" who's from up in Harrisonburg. He skated on rentals for a while, then said "Fukkit" and made his own skates out of old Vans. They are *awesome.*

john: that was delightful, thanks so much! i am "the gamin."
i want to do my paper route on rollerskates! and be a derby girl! the former more than the latter, though rollerderby might be a really good channel for all my aggro energy.
