I’m wanted, I’m hot, I’m everything you’re not!

Okay, so I used to be a cheerleader. But only through, like 6th grade and mainly because my dad thought it was cute to have me running around in saddle shoes yelling “Push Em Back! Push Em Back! Waaaaaaay BACK!” Before you make that mental note to skip all of my posts and only read Maggie’s, please know that she was also a pre-teen cheerleader, and she could do a split, which I could never do, so she was obviously better at it than I was. And she probably got to be a flyer, too, since she wasn’t 5′10 in the 5th grade. Moving on.

You now understand why I gasped audibly when TVgasm pointed out what I hope (::fingers crossed::) will rapidly become my new favorite thing to DVR ever; Lifetime’s Cheerleader Nation, a real-life mother daughter drama of blood sweat and cheers. (Am I alone in thinking that this sounds disturbingly like that case in Texas where the mom had the cheerleading captain killed so her daughter could make the squad? I loved that duo. Hate to think what happened a few years down the road when lil susie got cut from Kappa Kappa Gamma in round 3).

Cannot wait. Bring it On! Be Aggressive! B-E Aggressive!
