Cheerleading (Part II)

Saturday was an all day affair at same ass-end of Rhode Island. We didn't realize how lucky we got two weeks ago, when we only had to sit through the last batch of routines before Kelly was on and then the awards. This time, she was on about 11 AM and the awards were at 3:30 PM. So, another hour-plus drive for the 3-minute routine and then four hours of watching cheerleaders. You can't leave, because you can't get back in (not that there's anywhere to go to). Plus the food there is awful. Seriously, we got 2 hamburgers that tasted like some kind of weird and juicy salted cardboard, and a Pepsi that taseted more like lightly sugared soda water. Blah!



After watching so much cheering, Tine and I sort of came to the conclusion that there are only a set number of cheering manuvers, with minor variations. That all the routines are like jigsaw puzzles. You just put the various parts together in a whatever way you like and you get your final picture.

In the end, they didn't place this time. On one hand, we're happy that it's over. On the other, I think the girls took it really hard, most of them were crying after they lost. Which made me feel guilty that I wanted it to be over. Even a day later, Kelly still didn't want to watch the video.
