the musician, the brain

high school was awesome. for 2 years, 30 of us like-minded kids banded together, taking over an entire wing, outnumbering any other jock group who might have previously been able to kick our asses, going to the park most summer days to play music and games and draw.

ROBT.

I was another one who got along with most of my classmates. My school was small, so it was easy to be involved in a bunch of activities. I played tennis and soccer even though I was no great athlete, I played the bassoon in band, graduated #6 in my class, but was not really a nerd. I guess I was just a kid who tried to get along with others and not to draw too much attention to myself in general.

High school was pretty fun, but I could definitely have skipped middle school happily.

Didn't anybody cruise chicks? *beep*, I must be old. Either that or you were all big city kids. Go watch American Graffiti and tell us if you can relate to that!

Ya think it matters that you went to school in a country town or in the city? Maybe a thread there?

CRUISE chicks?

Okay Wooderson.

btw, my goal in high school was to remain a virgin until marriage. Pretty funny, in retrospect, especially since the nice girls from church I tried to meet almost inevitably turned out to be horny as hell.

I ticked Brain mostly because I was too stupid to read all the way through and see the option for several of the above. Ironic, that.

I finished in the top twenty of a large class, thwarted from doing better only by science classes. Can I help it if the voice of the physics teacher put me to sleep?

But I was also a good athlete, running varsity in track and cross-country and swimming. But people would remember me as a brain.

I'm only in touch with two people from those days, both runners.

Was from a very wealthy suburb of Calgary. Everyone pretty much assumed that they were going to University, kind of taken for granted. I was the sports guy. Wasn't that comfortable socially, and went to a new school in Grade 10, so sports saved my ass from being the quiet guy, since the basketball team was really good, and everyone went to the games. Glad those days are oooooover, but wouldn't trade the memories of playoff basketball games, as lame as that may sound. Wasn't into the drugs, they seem to have come onto the scene more in university, but sure I was missing a lot of what was going on, since I never hung with the stoners.

[quote I was a bible thumper for real. Used to hold big prayer meetings outside before school and give little sermons.
