Off Facebook:
1. You outwardly sigh when people ask if what you do is 'like in Bring It On' and you've stopped trying to explain that there's a bit more to it...
2. When at any kind of sporting event, you do the High V when celebrating a basket/goal/good thing (sometimes followed by a proper clasp) (I DO THIS ALLLLL THE TIME!!)
3. When choosing sports clothes you select on the basis of suitability for stunting in and squad colours.
4. When in training for competition, you have bigger muscles than most guys you know (apart from your male team mates who are of course buffer than ALL the guys you know).
5. You can't dance regularly anymore and find it hard to control the urge to do transition moves when leaving the dance floor.
6. You can't JUST tumble. You clean up afterwards or jump.
7. Counting to 9 just feels wrong.
8. You visualise tumble runs and stunts to most dance tracks.
9. Your Youtube viewing history has all the Worlds routines you could find.
10. You have been asked by concerned friends on more than one occasion where the bruises come from.
11. You show initial confusion when non cheer friends use cheer terms - for example 'I think I need a facial' or 'I wish I could go but I'm worried about flying'.
12. When you see people stretching in the gym you feel like going up to them and saying 'that's not a stretch THIS is a stretch' and pulling a heel stretch.
-When your telling a story about stunting at practice, and NO ONE knows what your saying... and when you see the cheerleaders at games, and laugh a little, because before all stars you looked up to them
-you die a little when a cheer goes 1, 2 3, 4! *clap clap clap clap* and signs...
-when one more time means do it again untill it hits the way your coach wants it too
-You start doing everyday chores so 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8....
-people are amazed that you can do a backflip
-when people look at you funny when you go out to eat after a comp with hair bow makeup and your uniform on
when your friend spots glitter in your hair a week after a comp simply because you put so much in your hair, even if you have washed it six thousand times since.

-when you throw your tuck perfectly, then sprain your ankle doing a forwards roll.
