My dear friend Spider has written the MOST delightful post about our all-to-brief time as ROCK STARS!
And this is how it happened.
Each day we attended our junior high school we were constantly reminded of our inferiority, our ugliness and our general undesirability.
Every single day we were subject to some form of cruelty, and sometimes on the weekends if we happen to run into our despised enemies after school hours.
So it was an incredibly brave thing we did, signing up for an 'air-band' contest to take place in front our entire school.
Yup, we were going to lip-synch in front of the very people that picked apart every single aspect of our personality, clothing, and behaviour.
We were setting ourselves for total public humiliation.
On purpose!
And you know what?
We stood up there, flung aside our roles as 'nerds' and we totally RAWKED that day.
My cheeks still burn hot with dread and excitement just remembering!
(May I highly recommend you head over to Spider's blog and revel in the eighties?)
