I wanted to be a cheerleader when I was younger. I really did. I thought it would have been fun. But I didn't pursue it. For all the reasons people don't become cheerleaders. Because cheerleading was less about cheerleading and instead was about boys and popularity and coolness and looking like Barbie. - And football. There was something in there about football too...

I just wanted to cheer. I would have loved cheerleading!

See I thought it was about being able to do cool stuff like somersaults and flips. . and things I could never master. I wanted to be a cheerleader when I was younger too but we didn't have them then, in Oz.

I'm not sure I would have wanted to do the somersaults, but I did want to do the routines.

So you don't have cheerleaders at all in Oz? I didn't realize that was strictly an American thing.
