==Brittany's
To our surprise, Brittany can actually make websites!
===The World Wide Wow!===
Brittany started a website [http://web.archive.org/web/
:''Hi! I'm Brittany! Greetings to fellow people all over the world! I would really love to come and visit every one of you, but that would take millions and millions of hours (plus I'm not sure if you have normal bathrooms.)
I used to be afraid of my computer until I realized it's just an appliance like a hair dryer or a microwave, but with a lot more buttons. (That's why I had no idea what was going on in that chat room until I was already inside, Kevvy, I swear! Mario, if you're reading this, I'm sorry but I can't marry you. Same to Abdul, Jorge, Demetrius, and Kwame!)
:''My personal goal is to use the Internet to spread cheer throughout the world. Cheer for your country--it's like a big team! Be proud! Let's go, country! Beat the other countries! Crush them! Stomp them! Gee...I guess too much cheer could end up making wars and that's bad for children and other living things. So maybe don't yell so loud.
:''I know -- we can cheer for the whole world instead! OK, listen up, that's my new plan and I figure it's pretty safe unless it turns out there are Martians after all.''
:'''A CHEER FOR THE WORLD'''
:''Let's go world! / Don't feel down! / Kick Mars and Mercury / Out of town!
:''Venus and Saturn / Think they're rough? / The earth is made / Of tougher stuff!
:''Big old Jupiter / What's it worth? / It knows it cannot / Mess with earth
:''Pesky Neptune / We can tame / And Uranus / Has a yucky name
:''Pluto didn't pass / The planet test / So in the Solar System / We're the best!!!
:''Yay World Yay World Yay....World!''
===Cheerleader Support Forum===
[http://web.archive.org/web/200012091400/http://www.mtv.com/mtv/tubescan/animation/daria/brittany/index.html In 2000], she set up the Cheerleader Support Forum.
:''Are you too pooped to pep? Too funky to be spunky? Your skirt is pleated but you're feeling defeated? Your poms are fluffy but life is toughy? You made the squad but are feeling like... a pod? (That rhymes, I think.) Cheerleading is a very stressful activity and there's lots of pressure to be perfect, which is hard to do, even if you are. Who can you talk to? The school nurse? She'll just hand you a lollipop with some weird flavor like tangerine and say something dumb about "ladies' days."
:''People think that cheerleaders don't have problems. If only they knew about our secret longings and most intimate moments. I guess some do, especially those jerks who drilled a hole in the girls locker room wall. (I wish those darn budget cuts would go away so we could get the custodian to fix it! It's been two years now!)
:''When I first got my computer I used it for practical things like horoscopes and ordering replacement noses for my teddy bears (they're all better now, thank you!). But then I found my first support group. I was using the search thingie to look for a bra. (Who knew the word "support" has so many meanings?) Instead of a demi-cup with front clasp, I discovered people sharing their feelings and helping each other through tough times like divorce and diseases and when their favorite soap opera gets cancelled.
:''I realized that cheerleaders needed a place to talk about painful topics like self-image and pulling muscles in certain places. So I started one. Now I really like helping people and talking to cheerleaders from all over who don't go to my school so they won't start spreading rumors about how I got those grass stains on the back of my uniform. I mean, the front. I mean, oh, never mind.
:''Come on in and share your experiences with fellow cheerleaders from coast-to-coast, including France and Hawaii!
:''It's a place for you to be yourself, even if that means feeling cranky or angry! Just because you're a role model for your school doesn't mean you have to smile all the time. Only when other people might see you!
:''*that means I'm in charge but not pushy or anything!!!
:''P.S. Attention Guy Cheerleaders: You are a valuable part of the sport even though we can't borrow barrettes and certain things during "ladies' days" from you. So nothing personal, but please leave now. We need a little privacy here!!!''
