eek! still at school!

but still, im an odd one. i am friends with most people (am president of sixth form (woot!)) but i have about 10 very close friends who are i suppose the "alternative people" mainly.

in the last few months though i have been becoming increasingly geeky! i blame my boyfriend. he introduced me to star wars. then i started playing magic: the gathering (!!) with some guys at school. but apart from that (and i suppose unheathly obsession with webcomics and firefly) i'm not a geek and pretty "popular" (if i'm allowed to say that)

...can that be option e or something?

I was mostly C. But it was pre-Star Wars and pre-PCs and pre-cable, so while I watched Star Trek the first time around, if there were any Trekkies out there they were still in their parents' basements. *shrug*

I was a reader and non-studier who started hanging out with the freaks halfway thru HS. At that time, there were freaks, nerds, and greasers. Geeks wasn't coined until after I left HS.

But as a side note - the HS that Freaks and Geeks was based on? 6 miles and 5 years from mine. And literally nothing had changed.

Dude, I love "Freaks and Geeks" and this whole thread made me think of it.

Goodnight, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Interesting thread! I think I was pretty much a D, I had a few friends I was really close with (only guys though, Freud would have loved it). I was obsessed with and pretty good at water polo, but seeing as I played for the district cos there was no school team meant bugger all to most people!!

Another Z-type here, only female this time.

Hung with the druggies in school but not out of school and was too smart to do drugs myself, played first chair violin so hung with the music geeks, was unathletic so did not speak the same language as the jocks. Did not care much about the social scene in high school as I was living for getting out of there and going to college. I'm glad for that; I find it really sad when the high point of someone's life is high school and everything is downhill from there! Oh dear.

mix of b and c.

I never studied....and still usually got the highest score in the class. I didn't even study for my AP bio test and I still got a 5. And because I was so obviously smart, the other kids at school didn't like me (well, that and the fact that I'm socially retarded).

Blowing up the school actually did cross my mind.....but only because it was falling down around us anyway and it would have given them a reason to build a new one.

I was out on the school porch smoking with the heads, on the playing field talking with the jocks, hanging out with my VERY high IQ girl friend, playing D&D with the nerds (long before it was cool to do so) and still got pretty good grades.

Basically, I was the bridge between all of the groups you've described above.

Go figure...

Though I didn't smoke and didn't hang out with the jocks I was kind of wacky and a bit of a go-between myself so maybe I am .... oooh, lets pick a letter "... could I please have an 'M' for Magdalene, Larry?" Yes an "M" for me - I was a brilliant drama and literature student (in my mind, at least) and had a small group of hillarious, intelligent and very loyal friends! We made animal noises in class and drove our teachers mad, but I really just found the work so boring that I didn't even try hard and mostly just passed subjects I should have been straight A in (again possibly in my mind...) We weren't intimidated by the goths, the 'wogs' (their term, not mine - and that meant Greek or Italian) the high IQ students who were straight A, the popular Miss Cordelia types who knew they couldn't impress us so sometimes they just let us be themselves with them just being themselves. I came from a very multi-cultural area - Melbourne...aaah! Loved it all and hated it all .... you could call it a 'love/hate relationship' I guess.... hmmmmm... that's too deep - think I'll go to bed in case I start making sense again !!

I was sort of a D in that I had only a few close friends in HS. Mostly because several years earlier, I had developed all my friendships at a different school, and because of where I lived I was still friends with those people.

More than anything I was the common guy between the two schools that particularly did not like each other. Guess I was the diplomat that kept things in step at baseball and basketball games.
