I think I was a mixture of C & D. Every report card I got said 'Quiet, consciencious pupil' I still shudder at those words!

I don't care what you believe in, just believe in it.

I guess C would be closest, but really was actually a band geek (though I have always enjoyed a good bit of SciFi!) School was no prob, .... Until I learned how to be a slacker! (can we say 'how to slack'?) It was the homework and the actual "attending" that got me!! ^_^ so didnt get as good of grades as I could have... Plus the fact that I bugged out for my senior year and went overseas as an exchange student ^_^ (ahh what fun!) College has been a lot shinier anyway, even though discipline still isn't my strong suit :-p

An I carried such a torch.......For the Dark Lord

Even though this is very much inviting comments concerning another thread in a different forum, I'll recount this story anyways, just to better fit the image you're forming of me.

I also got arrested from 10th grade English class for assault and posession of a deadly weapon. Handcuffs, county officer, holding cell, the whole shibang. Spent the rest of my high school years at a private school for trouble makers. Not anywhere near as bad as it sounds, though, the other kids there made me look like a golden child and I essentially cruised through respected by staff and student alike.

I was a strange combination of just about all of them.

I was a mostly A student.
Had lots of "friends" but only a very few close confidents.
I was in choir/theatre,played a sport, was a cheerleader and did student counsel.
I was a TOTAL geek and loved D&D and SciFi/Fantasy.
I hung out with jocks, stoners and geeks (not so much the "beautiful" crowd).
But it was the geeks who had my devotion and still do!

Damn me!!!!!! Sorry Daveshayne!
I'm leaving the original post for others to point and laugh at though.

No sweat. Hey perhaps there is somebody else out there staring down the business end of the intelectual vacum that is high school in america that can use your well wishes. If just one person is saved I think it's worthwhile.

i forgot the question... but actually i can trace my humble beginnings as a anarchist back to jr hi or the 3rd grade really (during a heated game of red rover i called for everybody to come over, thereby creating my rebel persona)... by high school i was blacklisted by every teacher on campus and had to work a little harder than most to maintain my C average... maybe due to the fact that i was constantly distributing pro-castro and communist literature whenever possible... my nickname throughout that miserable time in my life was Red Rover....and i wore it with pride...

Me either!!!
Bunch of clods.

The jerks who picked on me in Junior High knew at least to leave me alone in H.S. due to the fact that my hero at the time was Bruce Lee, and I mimicked him -in moves- very well.

Me, I was a mix.
-Not good enough grades to be an IQ student, I got B, B+s without ever doing any homework or studying (except english class).
-Not a tech, never liked "computer science" I hated having to write the programs down.
-Not quite a jock but was atheltic, Track and field and swim team, wanted by the football coach for my speed but never had the time (which I will always regret)
-Band member.
-never quite a D&D guy, apparently I didn't take it seriously enough.
-never made any enemies though.
-funny thing. I ran into a bully that picked on me on the school bus. I am a good foot taller than he is now and at least twenty pounds heavier (muscle, not fat) He looked nervous for a change. (I will remember that to the end of my days)
-went through High school as the a typical 90 pound skinny guy. Working out with the University football team changed that in a hurry.
-generally a happy go lucky guy. Still am.
-went to my high school reunion, with a bit a trepidation, and was hit on by the "popular" girl. My wife got a chuckle out of that.

I had an average IQ, and had friends but didn't obsess about them. Obsessed with Star Wars until 2002 when my Star Wars obsession was dwarfed by my Firefly obsession. I suspect I could hold my own in a fight(Edit: Except with the Almighty Chrisisall!), though I never have been in one.

Well, there you have it, me in a nutshell.
