One of the meetup groups that I've joined as Ceera has been getting together each Thursday to watch ladies' softball games, sponsored by the city parks and recreation department. One of the teams is a group of lesbian ladies, many of whom are also members of our meetup group. We watch our friends play and cheer them on, and then the players and their friends and families go out for drinks and maybe dinner together after the game.
Last week was my first time with them for the softball games, and after enjoying the game I was warmly welcomed at the after party by the other ladies on the team. One of the ladies, who I already knew from other meetup gatherings, said something like, "We really enjoyed having you with us as our cheerleader today." I replied, "Watch out... I know where I could get a cheerleader uniform." She thought that would be a great idea, and several other ladies in the group agreed that they would love to see me at the games as a uniformed cheerleader. So I ordered a cheerleader costume in their team's primary color, and it arrived yesterday! I showed pictures of me in the outfit to the team's manager last night, and she loved it and can't wait to have me at their games wearing it. Next Thursday is their next game, and I'll be wearing it at the softball fields!
So yeah, I really am going to be a cheerleader!
