What were you like in high school?

jock adn bookish and popular

 

i love lies.

 

lol who ya reckon is lying?

 

Do I really need to say it? lol

Pay attention, folks!!



I'm guessing you didn't get my memo? I thought I sent it to you. Check your email

 

most of the football players were popular at my school in texas, footballs pretty big there. and i also loved chess and reading and studying was a no brainer in my family

 

I am impressed with your honesty, sir. You should continue your education, by the way - as it appears that you have a deep interest in Science and Technology.

 

I was the Cute Boy that could play the hell out some Drums.

girls always called me "Cutey Drummer Boy" but i was more of a cool kid with a down to earth personally and got along with everyone. and I still do!

 

I was the Medium popular (people knew me directly or indirectly) philosophical pothead/class clown that everyone liked (but they use to love to crack pothead jokes, funny thing is u fast forward 3 years to now and most of these people either have kids, dropped/kicked out of college, married, or substance abuse. While me the pothead, has no criminal record, no kids, never been married, and no substance abuse problems. Funny how karma works ). Thats how I spent the first three years of high school, then I moved back to the Illinois area from Alabama and I kinda faded out. Like I didnt try to be the class clown and shit. People liked me and invited me to shit but I kinda grew introverted for some reason.

 

No surprise. Most of the people I know who smoke weed have turned into pieces of shit.

 

Its crazy how quick a person can completely change. Im 21 now and Ive changed (for the better) so much since high schools been over. And it seems like everybody that had promising futures completely pissed them away.

 

Dude, for real. Half of my best friends are pissing away their lives because they're lazy as hell. They only became lazy when they started smoking weed. The other half of my friends are actually doing shit, which makes me feel a little better, but I don't hang with them a lot because they're, you know, WORKING/GOING TO SCHOOL/GOING TO THE ARMY with actual effort. :smt081

 

I was a floater.

I was one of those that refused to stick to a group.
I hung w the populars, the jocks, the geeks, the artsy group and the outsiders.

If I was gonna be judged by who I hung with, I just didnt care...
For some reason I was welcomed in those groups and no one ever questioned me about it.

If I would have to pick a group, I was a jock as I was in the High school Volleyball team, the YMCA volleyball team, was a judge for kid volleyball, did track and distance biking in the summer and also competed in a few other sports.

 

I had different friends from different groups, but I hung out with a set crew and I'd hang out with the others on the weekends or whenever....

I was both shy and outgoing...

I was known for my dancing...

 

I got teased about being "married". My girlfriend would always insist on taking me to school, and picking me up from football or track or theater practice. Someone smashed the front windshield of my car during my senior year. They couldn't stand seeing an African-American athlete with a red-headed Irish gymnist.

 

That sucks....

I hope someone smashed their head(s)...

 

I was a bit like this.. a floater. I was friends with pretty much everybody and sat with different groups on different days. I was also into drama and had lead roles in the school musicals lol. Does that make me a nerd? (If there was a Glee club, I totally would have been in it LOL)

 

It's alright. We really cared about each other. It was a really cool feeling to be "married" in high school. They couldn't deal with seeing me (6' 2" African-American) with her (5' 8" Irish American). We were a really high profile couple. You know how it is in high school - we had paparazzi trying to take pictures of girls I hung out with, and guys she hung out with. It was unnerving during my senior year when we were able to cross register at each other's school (private single sex schools).

 

I'm glad that your bond was powerful, while all those other assholes had such deep seeded hatred. I hope they've gotten theirs. Sounds like you had an endearing relationship with such fond memories and not so nice ones too. Love did conquer all back then.

 

It's really strange though, IB. I got to see a lot of what's wrong with black and white in America. I don't know. An African-American woman I knew in high school - who said she had a crush on me, said that my interracial relationship caused her to really despise African-American men. I know it was a group of white guys who smashed my windshield. I have no ill feelings. I was practically married in high school. It was awesome for me - I wish it hadn't been so painful for others...

 

That's really sad that what some men did/do/have done, reflected her views on a whole race of men. She needed/needs to do some self introspection.

It's nice that you care about the "others", but fuck them! They didn't care about you! The great thing is you had a really good relationship. Some people can't see others happy. It pains them. They need to seek therapy! I'm sure they still have those same issues now. As you can see, I hate haters!
