Sometimes I even now feel like a stranger in my country. But I knew there would be problems because I had seen the world as a skater. And now?

We had a party with the rest of the skaters in our trailer and then the next day we were off to see Jimmy Carter. And then we had the World Championships the next weekend, so not a lot of chance to catch up. ↗

I was an anorexic, beer drinking, class cutting, doodling, shoplifting, skater chick that was into nature, art class, and the beach. ↗
