Well, didn't get to clean up my postage stamp yard, too much rain.

So I'm making a batch of chocolate espresso cookies to take to work on weds.

I never knew of boosters until I was in graduate school (no, not grad school boosters, although that might have helped.) That version is less Buddy Garrity, more rich alumni who pay basquillions for a permit to the special booster parking lot.

At my school, the cheerleaders would decorate the football players' houses on game days. A friend of mine, who had done dance and gymnastics since she was little, joined the cheerleading squad because her guidance counselor told her that her college applications needed to show that she was more involved in school activities. She was probably one of the best athletes on the squad, but they all shunned her because she wouldn't do stuff like decorate football players' houses on game days.

Oh?

There weren't rally girls in my high school,just cheerleaders, but they covered the girls' teams as well.

Why wouldn't she decorate with the rest of the squad, Hil?

She thought it was dumb, and most of the football players were the same kids who'd been bullying her and her friends since kindergarten. She'd signed up to cheer, and she would go to all the practices and all the games and do her best, but she wouldn't do the extra stuff that she thought was more about popularity than about sports.

Really? That's cool! I shouldn't make assumptions, because they always make an ass out of my umptions.

In middle school, I was a cheerleader for the girls basketball and soccer teams.

That is so much cooler than the schools around here. Really.
