Another useful piece of information about yours truly is that I was once....dare I say it...I suppose I shall...a cheereleader. Cue scary music, gasps, and a circa 1920s scream.
I know. I know.
But, at age eight it was all I had ever wanted to do. So, I became a cheerleader and cheered for the football team throughout elementary and middle school. And at age 13 and grade eight I realized that I could no longer remain sane and cheer at the same time. I turned in my pom-poms and went into high school with little to no status and a budding tennis career. And why, because the girls had gone from innocent little girls with pretty ribbons in their hair to evil man-eating pre-teens with pretty ribbons in their hair.
However, this year I gave up tennis when I realized that my "budding career" was going nowhere and that I didn't really like tennis that much. I had always wanted to go back to my elementary team and coach. Most of this is because I have a secret agenda to help those like me and ultimately get justice against the "mean girls" of this cruel world. So, I am now the "manager" (aka the high-school girl who's helping out) of *insert elementary school name* Varsity Cheer Squad. Girls ages 9-11. Which is perfect. They are currently in their pre-formative to formative years and tend to be very impressionable, so I plan to use my powers for good and perhaps implant knowledge and wisdom in their heads.
That being said I am currently unsure of how this will affect me. Once I start putting those perfectly tied ribbons in my hear again will I revert into cheerleader mode? Will I constantly stand in a power pose position? Will I only be able to count to eight? Will I start quoting the plethora of Bring It On movies?
We can only wait and see. I am sure we will all know soon enough. Stay tuned for updates on my counting skills. And may God have mercy on my soul....especially if I drop the Spirit Stick.
