No catagory for me. I had a few close friends, but was pretty shy around girls. Stayed in the middle and didn't get on the bad side of anyone. tried sports but started working after school so that didn't last long.

Rock -n- Roll listenin', Party plannin', with good grades, played in the band, drama, Didn't belong to any one particular crowd, I was pretty much into everything back then. Of course when your graduating class was a whole 46 people, there isn't much room for Cliques.

Still pretty much the same today...lol

I have to add, i didn't go to my 10year too costly. But i heard from some classmates that did go and the cliques were the same as they were back in school. I didn't really belong in a clique back then and the classmates I want to keep in touch with I still do. So I'll probably skip the 20 coming next year.

No band part, but I was definitely a music prodigy!! On average I had at least 2 music classes a year, I even got my letter for a letterman's jacket with some medals to go on it! Of course, I never got the jacket! :lol: But I did a lot more than that...that was just my focus, I can see a tiny bit of myself in most of the categories!

I got along with everyone but didn't "belong" to any group. I had a lot of friends, but wasn't on the top of anyone's list. I played sports, was in the top academic group and graduated 24th out of 240. My big thing was that I didn't party. My father was the principal, so that put me in a special category. But did I ever cut loose in college. They called me "Ed the head" there for a while, but I came to my senses and graduated on time with a solid 2.5 (solid?) gpa.

We were Independents and didn't belong to any particular group. We hung around with certain people from a variety of groups, depending on who liked to do what and when. As such we weren't 'pidgeonholed' into
a sterotype. It was the best of all worlds.

I really couldn't say I belong to any group listed. I thought of choosing "Math/Science Geek," as I enjoyed (and still do. :wink: ) math [I wish I took calculus and trigonometry] and science; but in the end I stuck with not voting.

I was very quiet in high school, but not as quiet as I was from kindergarten to 8th grade.

I went through so many "stages" during high school, I don't know how to answer! :D

I was in the the band, the choir, and drama club. I also played soft ball and volley ball. I had a wide range of friends who belonged to most cliques listed above. I guess I was a floater LOL I got along with most everyone...except those who thought they were "better" than everyone else. I can't STAND those kind of people!

I always felt like I was somewhere in the middle too. I didn't fit in any of the stereotypical cliques. I voted non-geek bookworm because I have always been estudious, but I sure knew how to get into trouble. We'll just leave it at that ;)

Awesome replies!

I find it pretty interesting that a lot of people can't pick just one group in which to place themselves because they don't fit a particular stereotypical image that most people have about that group.

Imagine that. :wink:

I was a bit of several of those...but mostly I think I was finally a freshman in mind when others in my class were juniors or beyond. Naive in many ways, I had a circle of friends who still stay in touch these days. Cheerleaders would smile and say hello...but were always out of reach. Athletic I was not, but I was thought of more of a straight guy - bookworm than a geek.

I've changed now. Then again all those beers have done "shapely" things for the athletes and all the kids put wrinkles on those cheerleaders and bags under their eyes where sparkle once was so bright and alluring.

I like who I am now better than I liked who I was then.

Except when I look in the mirror.

Am I being punished for something?
