Diane A. 162 x 365

Cheerleader, homecoming queen nominee, all-round popular girl, Diane intimidated me throughout my middle and high school years. I thought it was over after graduation, but at our ten-year reunion, one disdainful glance from her cold blue eyes turned me back into a shy, skinny teenager. No more reunions for me.

Yet she was "popular" with those cold disdainful blue eyes?? (Nicely written - I could see those eyes and quaked ...) In NZ, popular means EVERYONE likes them ... is that different in US?

Here, at least in school, it means being the highest in the pecking order.

Oh, I so know this girl. Bitch. There I've said it and I feel soooo much better.

Side note: How do you do that link thing? Like your "song from Wicked" link. I've tried but am too dense to fiqure it out.

The html code for a link is <a href= "http://the_url_of_the_site">The text you want to link</a>

If you want to get fancy, put title="whatever you want the tooltip to say" after the last quotation mark in the url, but before the >

Thanks Cedar! I've always wondered how to do that.
