STORM2K

Hopefully, I broke it down into enough categories.

I was preppy...from my plaid ribbon headband all the down to my loafers.

I was a prep and carried it well into my early 30's. Thank goodness those days are behind me.

I was a choir/theatre geek (2 classes of each!) who hung out with the gothics and the math/science geeks (dated the calculas king)- but was best known for and will always be remembered as the 2 time editor in chief of the Maple Street Journal- the angst riddled, student produced poetry/short story journal for the school

I put myself down as a bookworm/lit freak because that's the only thing that really drew the other freaks I hung out with together.

Suprisingly I was part of the jock "cliche" even though I was heavily involved with the theatre/debate/band/choir/FBLA group. I wasn't involved with athletics but the "jocks" and I always hung out together. I always fit well in any group.

I had no clique...I was a "jock", actor, musician, got my History credits "handed to me" (no classes), loved Lit, but always walked alone...by choice.

I was a cheerleader in 10th grade and I was in music (singing and handbell choir) and drama all through high school. I was also on the ski club and volleyball, diving and swimming team during different years as well.

I guess I was a musical jock!

I had no category either! How about:

shy around boys/uninvolved at school/into the social scene a bit too much?

That was me. Went to an all girls school, I lived for football/basketball games and dances at boys schools on the weekends. Did I go right up and talk to guys? Nope! Little too shy for that. Sports just weren't encouraged yet for girls (early 70s), so that doesn't fit me either. I just always felt in the middle - I was on the outside looking in with the popular girls/cheerleaders but not a geek either. At the time, I was happy being in the middle. As I explained in another thread, I wish I had become more involved in HS and studied more.

I was middle of the road. Hated the freaks, but hated the Jocks even more because they got all the girls. I managed to walk the line and keep friendly with both.

J - you said it well, better than I could. I always felt like I was in the middle too. Felt bad for the geeky girls, didn't make trouble for them, but was glad I wasn't in that group. Knew I couldn't penetrate the popular group - that was very understood. But they would talk to you in school - whew, that wasn't so bad. Just don't expect to hang out with them on weekends......LOL I had 2 good friends from HS and we formed a 3 way close friendship - almost unheard really. It was never 2 against 1, always all for one, one for all. We're still friends to this day. I had to ask the one girl if my memories of being happy being in the middle were accurate - hey maybe others thought I was a geek, how do I know? LOL She confirmed we were smack dab in the middle, out of 230 girls in our class and quite happy to be in the middle. I'm still a middle, don't stand out too much, kind of person. It just fits me.

after highschool, I had a couple of crazy years while going to college. I was a bon-a-fide Deadhead. Discovered music, and Hi Fi. Managed to find somewhere to party every night.

It's no wonder I can't stand teenagers today!

James Dean all the way. I was a rebel without a clue, let alone a cause

Would y'all be surprised that I took the hippie/peace-loving dead head??? I'd say that was the closest link for me.

Actually, I went through various stages in high school, especially after I moved here from NY in the middle of 10th grade. I got involved in drugs and I go into trouble for about a year and a half until I woke up. By my senior year I was again an honor student and I won a local beauty contest! I could definately identify with the "hoods" than the preppies though anyday.

Well, I guess I would have been considered a math geek, since I did well in math and even tutored a few students. Plus I did not have a lot of friends and tended to be bullied my first 2 years in high school (due to being short and also very shy). I never had the pencil protector nor did I wear glasses, but I fit in more with the "geeks" than anyone else.

went to an all girls school.. the naughty crowd smoking in the toilet gang. We all did well in our grades though and were into Drama and most of us went to the same Dance classes.. Just full of nonsense BIG PARTY GIRLS who used to bully the geeks ..... Oh shame on me.

OK...I had hair so long...and played guitar so loud...and had a custom van too??? I was a Yippie, meaning I did all that and still got my diploma!!

Math - Science Geek here!

Prostorm -- I was the same. I smoked like a train (I won't say what I smoked) drank like a fish. I even went to school drunk and was the first person in my county to get a gold medal on the National Latin Exam. :o Now if my children try that they are in deep doo doo.

I was intelligent but with mediocre grades. I wasnt athletic in the least and was skinny as a rail. So I didnt really fit in any of the social groups that were around back in the Stone Age lol. I did however have a pechant for driving well in excess of the speed limit, something that made me popular with the hot rod gang as well as the local police. Oh the good ole'days....

REDNECK, CHIT KICKIN', SNUFF DIPPIN', HORSE, BULL RIDIN' "FOOL!" Still am and DANG proud of it!
