Once Upon a time, I tried out and made the team, but turned down the offer and went to drama camp instead...I didnt like the uniforms the nuns at our school chose for us to wear. I went to a private school and the cheerleaders couldnt wear the standard short short cheerleader skirt..it was too revealeing according to the nuns. I helped start a dance team......we performed...got standing o's and the cheerleaders complained that our skirts were too short, so we had to get longer ones.
To make a long story longer, I told the nun in charge of the team that I would not conform to please a group of whiny teeagers who are comfortable cheering in skirts that Laura Ingalls wore to church ......I quit. This wasnt the 50's and I refused to wear a skirt that covered my thighs totally. I was chosen as a cheerleader, not a novice nun. They begged me to stay and I danced one time in those stupid skirts and was just was off step for some reason. I was tempted to not wear my bloomers or any underwear as a sign of rebellion that night, but my parents would have been crushed so I was broken and did the right thing. I quit the next day , officially and gave the uniform back to them.
I was on the dance team at University of Houston for a football and basketball season..showed a lot of leg, had a lot of protection from the team, met and dated the athletic directors son....quit when my grades started going down.
I destroyed all pics, but Kat does have one of me with my hubby........we are standing nest to a show car at an videogame show...beg her to post it because I will not play any part in the search for skin.
I am a good woman, you know.

Sorry guys .... no pics!!!! ... but I was a cheerleader when I was in the 6th grade .... until we moved ....
I also tried out for the Flagette team and almost made it .... but we moved before the tryouts was over and I never found out if I would have made it or not .... I wanted to be a Majorette .... but gave up on the tryouts ... I guess I was afraid I would have to move again ...
I went to Seven different schools in my first 12 years of school ....

I stopped taking meds a few days ago.....maybe the inhaler stuff is still rummaging around fixing things in my lungs..it is a steroid.
Very weird. I refused to take another med my doc wanted to give me because I almost had a nervous breakdown when I took last year. SO he gave me the inhaler...not as bad, but strange long term side effect...hope it passes soon.
I do feel a little drunk and I am not drinking or taking meds.....
