For a long time now, I have been hearing about the benefits of ROLLING. It seemed a strange, spurious activity and I myself saw little in it to pique my interest.

It seemed, at first, like many other fads - some small, contained oddity that would be popular for a while amid certain circles untill the next new 'thing' came around and it would fall into obscurity.

But this fasination with ROLLING within the public consciousness didn't seem to die. Indeed, it seemed rather to grow and spread - the desire to ROLL seemed to gain more and more popular acceptance, growing to widespread desire and even OBSESSION amoungst some people.

Yet I myself still didn't understand the concept, the need or have any desire to take part in a ROLL.

Yet I found that my very own consort, Usagi, was a follower and regularly took part in ROLLING.
She would often ROLL, even while I was present and watched her do it.

It was bizarre and confusing and for a long while I would sit nervously while she would go about the city, ROLLING.

At first it was small - a bit here, a bit there, ducking in and out of streets and alley, and the momentum was slow. But bit-by-bit, it began to go beyond that, to get LARGER.

Before I even knew what was going on, she was ROLLING openly in the streets - defying the public and even (to my dismay) the police.

Yet she didn't seemed to be in any way concerned. And she wouldn't stop - she kept right on ROLLING.

Pretty soon, as people started to take notice, there would be car horns honking and people shouting.

Now, I didn't know it at the time (or else my actions might have been differant), but from what I now know, I have discovered that my consort doesn't just ROLL casually - she ROLLS obsessivly - constantly trying to outdo her previous ROLLS.
They began to become more and more widespread, more and more frequant - as her ROLLING grew more and more intense.

Needly to say, I was concerned .

Even when she wasn't ROLLING, I would find evidence that she was thinking about it. She would want to listen to her ROLLING music while we were at home in front of our computers.
I began to fear that it was becoming dangerous, but apperantly, my fears came too late.

I found that her ROLLING had already begun affecting other people.
I don't know how many others she has swallowed up with her ROLLS, but it's a lot.
At one point she even mentioned to me that:
"I love the way they scream."

Naturally, this horrified me.

But I still didn't know anything about ROLLING. How can I fight something I don't understand? And I confess, after all that time, and all that I had seen, I became fasinated with ROLLING myself.

It started as just my efforts to understand it - trying to figure out why she was so obsessed with it, and how it was done. But slowly, almost against my own will, I began to feel myslelf attracted to it. I would become excited when she said she was going to go ROLL and I would ask to watch, rather then withdraw in disgust.
I even found myself whistling some of her ROLLING music while by myself. I have even concidered transfering some of it to my iPod.

Well, today it's finally come to a head.

She went ROLLING late last night and left the materials for it on the coffee table when she left for work.

I saw them there and, well, I can't really describe it. I just did it.

I wasn't really thinking about the complications or the implications, I just grabbed the stuff and...ROLLED.

I enjoyed it.

I resisted for a long time - longer then I think I would have thought myself if I had known how widespread this phenominon was.

But I've done it.

Now, if someone comes up to me and asks:
"Yo, brother...have you ROLLED?"

I can say "Yes. Yes, I have indeed, ROLLED ".
