Cavalliering

Today was typical. Fall frenzy is FUN. A little ironic, considering the things we do, and the place we go to school, but still fun. We played a game called horse, knight and cavallalier (sp?) which is one I thought I had played before. Sort of. One minor difference with major impact- cavalliering.

Partners had to decide who was holding who. Usually my friend holds me. So far, so good. Except when she realized that I was probably just as heavy (maybe heavier) than her. We are both really competetive and we both don't like to admit it. In this game, everyone playing has to form two circles with partners in different circles. When the announcer announces what action that has to be done, everyone has to scurry to their partner and perform it. One "action" that has to be done is called cavallier. The holder has to hold their partner like a groom carries his bride out of a wedding cermony. My friend could barely grip me. I felt sooo bad. I wanted to not try, to spare her a ripped ligament (exageration) but then she would get even more mad at me. It was fun. not.

Other than that though, it was great. I had a lot of fun.
