The other day I got called out: A virtual stranger pegged me as a recovering cheerleader. I guess no matter how many twelve-step spirit finger recovery meetings you attend… You can pack up the uniform, but the cheery optimism is forever.
They may not market cheerleading as a way to develop fake happiness that can fool most people into thinking you’re chipper when you’re a step away from murder, but they really should. I’d like to see some Goth chicks working their anger out in the form of a cheer.
So anyway, while waiting for that board meeting to start I went around introducing some fresh meat. Maybe I went a little overboard on the enthusiasm or something, because a member of our Board of Directors turned to me with a big fat grin and said wryly:
“What was it… Cheerleader, songleader… What?”

Once a cheerleader, always a cheerleader! I was Varsity Cheer for three years myself and I swear I hear it from strangers all of the time…”You were a cheerleader weren’t you…”
Ugh. Gimme a “B” gimme an “I” gimme a “T” gimme an “E”… all together now “ME”…what’s that spell?!

You don’t seriously think I could have remained a band geek after that debacle… Nope, guess I just wasn’t born to be mild.
