This post inspires me to get my rollerblades out. Back in 1994...in NZ...I managed to convince my mother that I couldn't live without rollerblades. I tried them about 5 times, then we moved to the UK. I've moved them all around the UK with me, to university, to my first job in London and a couple of houseshares, everywhere... Right now they are upstairs in my closet. So although they've travelled thousands of miles, they haven't been on my feet more than 20 times in 20 years! It's time... :)
