i was a kid who knew a lot of people, but mostly preferred being alone (or with one or two friends).

i was a kid who got scored really high academically, but never needed to study much.

i was a kid who was neither cool nor nerdy, but fell somewhere in the middle.

i was a kid who never knew what the inside of the principal's office looked like.

I was just another long hair redneck with a attitude and a rifle rack in my truck

this is me fresh out of high school

i was in the in crowd, always the life of the party...i haven't changed a bit

after jr year I was a cool kid

<-----------Queen of the NERDS

I didn't hang out with kids from school. I was in with an adult crowd.

I hung out with the Dungeons and Dragons group but I was one of the populer kids

I was the shy and quiet type so I got bullied, but I did not let it bother me. Yes I have changed, I am outspoken to a certain extent. I am told I talk to much now lol.

I was on the track and field team..
also a stoner hippie child with my own group of friends...none which were on the track team with me.

I was top cheer leader for our basketball team...an honor roll student, and president of our student council.

I wasn't concerned about hanging out with the "cool" kids

I'm a LEADER...not a FOLLOWER

<-----Former nerd....

bullied? always, but did I let it get to me? not back in them days. In fact, i've been bullied so long even with simple gibes from my brothers that to only have it affect me once in almost 25 years is just down to how much I let it get to me.

Have I changed? yes, i'm a little bit lazier now... but what happens when you go from academic 30-35 hour/5 day weeks to working 6 days at over 50 hours per week? :P

Stoner/Thespian/Freak...

grades 9-11: was in "in" crowd. To be in there you did not need to absolutely act cool; it was good enough to make others laugh. The louder laughs your jokes drew, the inner you were. Was voted most popular kid for two years in a row. No friends, though. Every leadership-type kid tried to bully me. I was A+ in math, physics, phys-ed and Hungarian literature; distinguished student award in physics; D- in languages, geography and history. My philosoph was to do only the work I enjoyed doing. Consequently I did no work, in lit I got by with my compositions, in math and physics I got by knowing (intuitively) more than the teachers, in phys ed I got by with brute force, I've got no co-ordination whatsoever. Wood shop made me hate my life.

Grade 11: in the out-crowd in Germany. Meek school, never got beat up. C- student overall.

Grades 12-13 in Toronto: Ignored kid, nobody spoke my language and I spoke nobody else's. All boy school, why bother talking to anyone. Academically Ontario Scholar, I really applied myself this time. English was my worse subject, in two years from not knowing a word of English I worked my way up to a C+. All other subjects A or A+.

Everyone was at least one full head taller than I, even the kids two years behind me.

Graduated with virginity and not a puff of drugs in me ever. That should tell you volumes of my social isolation.

I was the King of the Dorks....which is part of the nerd community. And I am damn proud of it too.

Ahem... (... I feel a joke coming up... it's tickling my throat...) I take it that it was considered and honour in your school to have a roll with you?

I assume you made everyone happy and proud of you, by performing your roll as a leader admirably.

Rah! Rah! Go, get them, Tigress! (How long, how many years from tigressness to cougarhood?)

(Please forgive me... it's not my intention to insult... it's just that I'm very giddy today. Manic, more like it.)

FLASHBACK THREAD!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!

Why wasn't I on this one?? The whole old crowd was here, Nus, Karensmiles, Creationsfire, Newg, Davinci, Sassy, Nativegurl,laughs...and some of us who hung around..... I wonder if Nus and Karen are still together?

I was kind of on the edge of all the groups, sung in the chorus, worked on the stage crew, didn't really have to study to do well, hung with the stoners but didn't do anything but have a few drinks.
