I wonder if I am alone in this, or if other former cheerleaders are haunted by the same thing. I just went to type an email to my sister-in-law, and I was spelling the word spirit... but the thing is, I cant just spell the word In my head. I am chanting the cheer trying to remember how to spell the word. Spirit, s-p-i-r-i-t- spirit!!!
I do this with the word TOUGH- get tough- t-o-u-g-h. I cant say the word "go", without thinking Lets go, lets go, L-e-t-s-g-o. LETS GO!!!!
There are so many other examples I could write about, but it is just too embarrassing. Seriously, here I am, almost a half a year away from 30 (holy crap!!) and I am still having these cheers haunting me from about 13 years ago. What is wrong with me... get out of my head!! Hahahha (just teasing). I can honestly say that I have not cheered since 12th grade...so why do they still pop into my head like I said them yesterday? Why do I still rely on them for some spelling? DE-FE-NSE!!! defense!!! YEAH! WOOOO HOOOO rock on baby!!!! HELP ME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHa
I was never a cheerleader, but I can't spell Halloween without saying this: H-A-double L-O-W-double E-N spells Halloween.
ReplyDeleteEven thought I hate to admit it...I too can't say certain words without spelling or cheering them. I taught Ben how to never forget how to spell success with the help of our cheer.
ReplyDeleteWe may be dorky, but people are just jealous of the extra pep in our spelling abilities. Not that we are spelling difficult words or anything, but still!
Oh-yeah!! S-u-c-c-e-s-s... thats the way we spell success! Hahaha. Forgot about that one :)
ReplyDeleteHey, people rely on things like ROY-G-BIV to remember colors, HOMES to remember the great lakes, why cant we have a little spunk to ours? It makes it more fun... or maybe more irritating because they just dont go away....ever.
[this is good] Thanks to Tracy's cheering skills, I will never forget how to spell success again! Embrace your cheering gift, mama bear.
ReplyDeleteWhatever it takes to remember stuff- is fine by me. Maybe I should cheer for Appts, and dates I dont want to forget. Hmmm... Might be on to something here! Do you remember me and Tracy cheering in the living room of the big yellow house??? Haha!! Good times :)
