Today I actually rode the bike in the parking lot of lowes, I was all psyched up and then i actually started riding. Turns out lowes parking lot isn't that big and i couldn't get up that much speed to actually go through the gears, but i did get to practice my turns. We went back to the neighborhood and dave took me out around the streets and i was actually able to make it up to 3rd gear! woot for me! i only stalled once too! got to take some turns, do some stop signs, interact with some 'real' traffic, so it turned out to be a pleasant experience for only my 2nd time really on the bike. I will admit that i do need alot more practice until things start becoming 2nd nature to me, but i'm confident that i will get there.
Now on to some fashionista type talk. I got my awesome helmet that matches the bike, i even found some black and red gloves too. The next thing i need is a jacket, i found the perfect jack that i want, it's the moto bombshell womens jacket by icon, in black. i would also like the chaps (yes, i said CHAPS) but thats a whole 'nother store..lol. The jacket is 500 bucks though, a little steep for the price that i want to pay at this point, but i know that a jacket is a good investment. My main goal is to get the icon moto bombshell helmet (of course, it matches the jacket!) but being a 300$ helmet, i think i'll wait a while, till my skills match the coolness of my riding gear :)
We are doing an FRC night again this friday, and we are also celebrating amanda's birthday! (Happy b-day Amanda!!) so I am really looking forward to that!
And also, can you believe that i'm actually making money off my blog? whenever someone clicks on the google ads i have up, i make money. Some people doubted me at first, saying that there was either no way that people would click on them, or that the payout would be really low. but they were wrong! woot for making money!
btw.. WOOT is a pretty neat word..lol. woot woot!

The new face of FRC
So it's been decided that we are going to add a bunch of stuff to the FRC. We are going to reach out and help our community and try to teach young women what being women is really about!
Being a woman mean shaving legs (well not for all..). It means talking to friends. It means nights out on the town. For some it will mean weddings and baby shower. That's not all being a woman really means though, when you think back in the time, what was the womens main role? I would have to say Teaching (most would say child-rearing, but that is basically teaching). Teaching to me is showing others how to respond to compasion, how to be compasionate to others, showing what life is really about and how we as a community have to rely on eachother.
So much today you see none of that anymore, you see women role models to self absorbed 'doing their own thing' and not paying attention to who really looks up to them. You see women in the media not caring what kind of example they are setting (and not only the media..you should see some of the girls that walk around pensacola at night!).
The FRC is working to change that, we are going to be out and about rasing money for charity, getting our name in the paper to get known that we are a group of girls that actually LOVE instead of HATE, we HELP instead of HINDER and most importantly we will show by example that women and girls should aspire to be what they want in life instead of what is expected!
Women need to be there for eachother, not against eachother!

The Histor-E- of the FRC
FRC is Freedom Rocker Chicks. Started by Diana, the FRC is just a group of select women doing whatever the f*ck they want!We either meet at dianes house and hang out, or we go out and have fun.Our most recently frequented establishment has been Chans, which is a pretty awesome bar, with a pretty awesome band, and some pretty awesome people.and so here is what we do on an FRC night..
we get our group togetherwe talk about people
we wonder what goes on in lindsey's pretty little head!
of course we all 'shut the f*ck up and eat your melba toast!"
we crack ourselves up
we shake our booties
we clap our hands
but we don't turn heads, we break necks!
and congrats Amanda, the newest member of the FRC!!
