Cheerleading is SOOO fun!
Cheerleading is fun.
Cheerleading is okay....
Cheerleading is tough.....
Cheerleading is stressful.....
I HATE cheerleading.
Mondays at cheer seem to be our stressful days. It's like, over the weekend people forget the cheers and dances and their manners and when to SHUT UP and LISTEN....
I feel that there is a fine line between being nice and stern about telling people to do things... and just being plain MEAN. Some people on my squad are walking a VERY fine line, and at times even crossing it.
And it truly pisses me off. Or, maybe I am just overly sensitive. Either way, I can't help it, because that is how I am. Whether I, or anyone else, like it.
Like at camp, people open their mouthes when they should keep them closed, they do and say things that are unneeded or rude, and I am fed up with it.
I won't elaborate because it won't come out as anything but crazy ticked off psycho babble...
I will, however, say one thing.... there are a few people on the squad that think they "own" it... and when they want something, it's their way.... well, we were stunting.... and one of these "own it people" came and said, as a matter of factly, HE was going to backspot our lib... (apparently we had not done this before... or like he thought it should go, or... whatever...) Anyway, it pissed me off that he just kicked me out of MY spot in MY stunt group! Not a, "Will you let me" "May I" or even "Can I" is was, "I am"... well.... FINE then... JERK....

Today... or, this evening rather, we had physicals... this is mandatory to do any sport...
So, they said be there 6pm... well, I got there... 5:45.... PACKED... so... the cheerleaders... (as every sport group was) were grouped together... so.. we decided, hey, we're bored, lets throw a stunt! lol...
So, me, 2 guys, and one of the girls anyway, we threw a half, and cradled... easy... so then, we decided to throw a lib... HAHAHAHAHA.... well, actually, it went up... but, our flyer... I guess she could not get balance after we pulled up and it stunt came down (but we caught her!)... otherwise, it went up! Yay us, for... never before stunting together and throwing and half decent lib!

Wednesday, August 16, 2006
I have not blogged in awhile, at least my on here, so, I am going to get the quick "chit" out of the way first...
School has begun... my classes are Monday, Wednesday, Friday.... Linguistics, History pre 1800's, Drama 1, Anthropology, and Cheer.... Earth Science only had 6 people and was cancelled...
Tuesdays and Thursdays I work the afternoons at my normal job... AND... AND .... AND.... I got hired on to tutor in the COS tutorial center! Yay! In any of the following subjects: Math 230 and below, English 1 and below, Computers 130 and below, Intro to Business, Intro to Teaching Education, Human Relations, Marketing, Child Development, Psych....and... I think that's it...
My classes....
Linguistics...I'll make it through...
History, the teacher is SO funny, I *think* it's my favorite class! And liking history doesn't hurt.
Drama... Yikes... see THIS, I thought, would be my favorite... but no... it's all lecture.... no acting or teching to speak of...
Anthropology... it's alright, I think I will like it... the teacher is funny and a client were I work... funny thing is, is that she has NO idea that I am in her class...
Cheer... well, our shoes came in. It was SO funny... we got these Converse All Star shoes, and they have stars on the sides and these little color inserts... there was like... 30 of them for each shoe... so, now I have something to do when I get really bored-- change the colors on my cheer shoes. But, I won't speak much of that since I have a specific blog for that... that has not been updated yet.. as of 8/16 11:04pm....
What I WILL talk about is Theatre.... because this is my theatre blog.... the blog that VERY VERY few people know about....Though, I have this *weird* feeling that others are lurking. Not unwanted or unwelcome by any means... just unknown. The thing that bothers me, is that this site is not where you can just find it randomly... you've got to be looking for it...you "google" it with specific info... I would KNOW I've tried to keep this site hidden, you've got to know some info about the person you're looking for.... because you don't find this blog in the theatre news letter.
There is a blog that is "advertised" in our theatre newsletter. On this webpage the webmistress talks about her theatre experience, tells it as she see's it. It's what she thinks, no sugar coating, no false hope-- even if that means being rude, or disrespectful. THAT, is her perogative. Personally, I find it fun to read. And the fact that this person doesn't care what others think is really cool. Sometimes I wish I could be like that, but at the risk of hurting someone's feelings it's not always so great. Then again, the TRUTH is out there, and it HURTS.
I don't dislike this webmistress, however, I have no doubt that because I am not up to her level, because I don't have a degree, (yet), because I don't fit into her social circle and don't have the same mindset, because of... WHATEVER else, I know that she does not particularly care for me.
And that's just fine with me.
That just means that she will not ask me to work on anymore of her shows, and she would never cast me in one of her shows, and that is more than okay with me. It's not her that I would not want to work with, it's some of people around her that I don't like, and I'm SURE, don't like me either.
And I'm okay with that.
I would never want to be like that. I'm content working with people who appreciate my help, --degree or none, I'm perfectly happy doing mediocre shows that people actually enjoy. (Not that people didn't enjoy her shows.) You can have THE BEST sets, the best actors, the best lights and the best techs, but if the audience dosen't like the show, it that still success? OR, you can have average/okay everything, and if the audience loved it-- even though it was ONLY average-- but if the audience enjoyed the show, does it matter?
Learn to LAUGH, have some FUN.
Things will never be perfect: accidents happen, people get sick, things go wrong, and the list goes on. Sometimes perfect is ideal... but it would make for a really boring life.
Say and think as you like. Right or wrong, I'm not alone in my thinking.
I am who I am. I am NOT perfect, I sometimes laugh too hard, I'm way to loud, or quiet at times, I'm SUCH a dork, and sometimes I even trip over my own two feet, but that's what makes me original, that's what sets me apart from everyone else. I'm out to break stereotypes, I'm just me!
