I have never been a particularly athletic person. Actually, strike that--I am a fucking klutz, and I'm lazy. I played a little volleyball and swam a few laps so I could get lifeguard certification, but that's the extent of my athletic prowess.
However, nothing in the entire world makes me happy in quite the way female athletes do. I have a long list of role models that come from the wide world of sports, starting with Babe Didrikson and, as of tonight, going through the amazing Amanda Beard.
