Mako's Message: Well, so much for my new years resolution.
Well, it's finally happened. The cheer team is going to a competition this weekend.
I've had other things on my mind, but Angela hasn't been able to stop squeeing about it for the last month. Dave hasn't been any help either. He's actually been working with White Mage and Col. Stars to cover for me with Justice Forever. I think he takes some sort of sick pleasure out watching me suffer and is making sure I won't have any excuses to bail on this.
Of course, even if he wasn't I wouldn't be able to skip on this trip. I'm just not the kind of person who skips out on my obligations. My team needs me so I'm going to be there. Yup, I'm totally Element of Loyalty material. I just wish there was an Element of Putting-Up-With-Stupid-Bullshit so I could get through the weekend without punching some bitch's teeth in.
I mean, sure, our team is cool. Cameron, Tashaya, and Coach Baum don't put up with catty bullshit. Cameron was actually made Captain last year after the old captain was suspended for bullying. But if I have to spend a weekend surrounded by alpha-bitches I can't guarantee that there won't be a blood bath.
Say what you will, but if more people got punched in the face for mouthing off we'd have a politer society.
Speaking of polite societies and how we don't live in one, I was out with White Mage the other night and I started ranting about the panty shot fiasco. About how how putting my crotch on display seemed to be most exciting thing the school had seen that year, even beating out the pedo hunt. How Marcus went in and started threaten litigation and arrests if this wasn't stamped out. How the only person I'd have liked to see showing any interest in the pictures seemed to be the only person NOT showing interest in the photos. Privately of course.
She told me I should look at the bright side of all this. That Marcus wanted me to be a normal girl, and the school was treating me like any other girl who'd gotten caught with her skirt up.
I'm not so sure that's something I or Marcus should be happy about and not something to lose what little faith in humanity I still have over.
Anyway, the team is going out for dinner and crap to psyche ourselves up for the competition. Someone will be here to pick me up soon so I better get ready.
I really hope this isn't going to be as lame as I think it's going to be.
