The Punctuator, No. 212
What is your derby name, # & tagline?
The Punctuator #212 "She'll dot your eyes and cross your teams."How did you come up with your number?
212 is the area code of my favorite city I have lived in: NYC. Even more importantly, it is the boiling point of water. Students have told me they see steam coming out of my ears.How did you come up with your derby name?
I love my job: I teach English and edit anyone courageous enough for the feedback.How and when did you get involved with roller derby?
Summer of 09 I came to watch the championship bout. Though it took about 20 minutes for me to comprehend what the heck was going on, it only took about 2 minutes for me to know I HAD to play this. So, I tried out!Any serious injuries?
My most recent was a nail kicked backwards/upwards by a mid-air skate. Not serious, but how does THAT happen? Derby!Do you have a rival on the track?
Probably the league champions. Or anyone who does not keep "it" on the track.What is your favorite position to play?
I like protecting our jammer, but I also like jamming. I love sprinting, and I guess the grass is always greener...What is the worst penalty you ever committed?
Aren't they all bad?Do you have any pre-bout rituals?
They are probably still blooming, but a good night's rest, a good skate cleaning, and some good jams on the way. Slumdog Millionare's soundtrack is pretty energizing if the radio is failing that day.What kind of skates & wheels do you roll on?
R3 and Demons: Yah, I know. Rookie skates.What has been your most exciting moment in your derby career?
Making ARRG; drafted to M80s; knocking someone down the first time; not getting knocked down for the first (second, third...) time when a stud player took me on; there are still certain rumps I am working on getting past.
