My girlfriends and I used to have slumber parties at P’s house. Her parents were deaf, so we could be as loud as we wanted. We just couldn’t turn on any lights near their bedroom, which meant going to the bathroom in the pitch dark, because even the light under the door would shine under their door and wake them up.

Oh my, we were LOUD and we would dance all night. P was auditioning for Pom-Pom girl, and she lined us up to do the dance over and over. I’m a singer too, so I was singing this Michael Jackson song at the top of my lungs and dancing girl #2 in the line up.

P made the squad!! She was mascot for a while, then she was a Pom-Pom girl.

I told her (in front of her husband) that I STILL know the audition dance (P doesn’t remember it). Her husband was shocked; he didn’t even know she had been a Pom-Pom girl. He didn’t even know she is a killer dancer! How could this be!!

Anyway, I still know the dance because when the song comes on the radio, I sing it and do little, tiny micro moves to the song. Or, if no one is home, I will full-on dance out this audition dance, LOL. Somehow my Pom-Pom girlfriend doesn’t dance anymore, but I do...

Oh, this is turning into an embarrassing memory. I was caught doing this once when I thought no one was around. My friend’s brother saw it. He waited until the song was over and stepped out from where he was watching. He said I was good <blush>
