Cheerleader? F. No.

Volleyball has started again at Daepyung.  
I'm sort of… kind of… maybe… ehh... looking forward to playing.   
No.  I am still.  I was...   

What I'm looking forward to isn't the games.  The games are poo.  I do like when we have in house practices and little matches so that games resemble a more balanced depiction of what I spent half my life playing!  But it's just all the other times we play - like when it's supposed to matter and count towards the tournament that I don't like.  That's when things get reallllly boring for me.

I just still don't get it!!  Why… WHY do you need 9 people on the court?!  It is NOT so that more people get a chance to play.  Because standing - freaking standing - on the court = is not playing.  Never touching the ball because there is literally a screen of humans in front of you, next to you, near you at every moment so that your chances of touching a ball are more negative than positive = is not playing.

This is why I was never a cheerleader.  And also because my dad wouldn't let us.  I can almost distantly remember my dad saying "Why would you cheer for someone, when you could be playing?"  Fair point Thomas!  Now I understand it even more.

It's not that I'm a poor sport.  Or maybe it is a little bit.  But really standing while you're supposed to be playing isn't fun.  I don't know who that's fun for.  I can't imagine that would even be fun for the people who aren't good at sports.  And that's not to say I'm amazing.  But I'm definitely better than wasting my skills by just having my standing behind the field of humans.

Ahhh rant over.
