Cheering and Valentines

I had a cheerleading competition last Saturday.  It goes from "tiny girls" to "open 6", which is level six cheerleading, and special needs.  There was also an individual performance, which was apparently very cool.  The afternoon of the competition, I felt nervous before performing.  I was more nervous this time because I was worried I might mess up.  Then, I had to warm up, stretch, etc....and finally, perform!!!  It was the same routine we've been practicing.  As usual, I did my back handspring and everybody went crazy!  It was so much fun!

In other news, I'm excited to hear that the "male bully" from Facebook moved away.  I'm looking forward to Valentine's day, which is coming up soon.  I love exchanging gifts with friends.  It's so nice to celebrate love and loving all the people you know.  People should know that autistic people like holidays that are social, like Valentine's day.  It's sometimes hard to express feelings to other people, but I think everybody goes through that.  Just because someone has autism doesn't mean that they don't enjoy social holidays, especially holidays about love!  I'd like getting chocolate, candy, and flowers as much as any other girl.  (hint, hint!!) :)
