Scythe
Ugh, sporks, I despised using them, but loved dropping them in hefty chunky-munkys ass cleavage.

I wasnt really any kind of "stereotype" I usually just jumped from group to group. I was pretty much friends with alot of people, not exactly what you would call popular. Main group I hung out with the most was, of course, the metalheads. big grin

harleywindu
I was a theatre nerd/geek, whatever you want to call it, but that was freshmen year. Now I'm just the bitchy girl who is always with her best friend. I don't know what that makes me.

I am nothing really... comfortable

and hot. I turn down guys left and right. droolio


Then I go use my left and right eek!

JaehSkywalker
A weirdo, everyone knows me, not exactly popular, no enemies... i dunno.

Lianslo
Umm...my car was voted biggest bomb, if that means anything. Otherwise, I was mostly artsy: choirs, theatre, dance

silver_tears
I was "popular." shrug

I was smart, so everybody wanted to be my friend. roll eyes (sarcastic)
I drank and partied a lot (like before 4th period lol) so I wasn't considered a geek for the smarts (though that wouldn't bother me).
I played sports, was in plays, did student council, and I volunteered for all kinds of charities and was president of a school government thing.
Haha what a waste of time all of that was.........except the drinking. ermm

Blaxican
That one big black guy that was a nerd but no one ever called him a nerd for fear of being beat down (Even though I've never hurt a fellow student in my life and the one time I did I cried) so they just do it behind my back.

You are not making sense. Social Boundaries? confused You are trying to sound pithy, but are failing miserably.

Smart girls school... not a whole lot of 'social stereotypes.' I hang out with everyone.

Lucky you.

A social floater? Interesting

Imaginary
A floater? Hardly. For me to be a floater, the 'groups' at my school would have to be pretty well defined to begin with. Which they're not. Some groups are more social, more daring, more study obsessed, more music obsessed, more hyper than others but we're all nice so none of that matters much. So while I do have a crowd I hang out with outside of school, during school I talk to everyone.

So during school, you talk to everyone. HENSE, social floater.

You're missing my point. Everyone talks to everyone, so if that's your definition of a social floater then my grade consists of 120 social floaters.

I don't care about them. I asked about the people in the board

Imaginary
Context still applies.

TPS
Regardless, it still will class you as a social floater, as you talk to everyone. Regardless of what they do, you talk to everyone.

No one's honestly hated, unless your Hitler. You're definitely not on friendly terms with a lot of people, that's for sure.

On their own, everyone is cool, it's the group mentality that they can't control.
not their fault really, as most are footballers they've been trained to use it as their crutch.

I was everything.

ThePittman
I was and still am a Jack of All Trades, I fit into all the different groups, Jocks, Stoners, Geeks and so forth. I had groups of friends in all of them and pretty much got along with everyone, my art helped with that. wink

I was an artsy guy. Drama, Music, Visual Arts... everything like that. Something of a "Social Floater," as TPS so eloquently put it.

Same as me. I never went all out to impress one particular group, more one type of person. If I liked them, no matter what they were into, I tried to befriend them yes

Smallville
I would expect something like that from you too, Sy.

You seem like the kind of person that would not be judgemental

Syren
Thanks... that's sweet of you. I also think it had a lot to do with the insecurities I had about myself throughout school. I knew I was academic but the 'popular' students generally weren't, you know? So I figured I'd forge my own path or something. Keep doing what I did best, learning, and hopefully make some friends along the way. In hindsight, the friends I did make at the time were of the genuine and long-lasting persuasion, which I obviously wouldn't change smile

BakaXero
sometimes i wonder if it's the area or people.
I've been in situation where everyone with in that group of peers was close, and situations where there has been that great divide. I still don't know how it works, but it's certainly interesting to note. Also after the whole school thing ended, i found that people I didn't talk much to in school started talking to me more and same goes with others. Quite strange but interesting.

Syren
Same here, I've met a few people I used to go to school with on MySpace and we're friends, whereas at school it was different.

i wasnt exactly a loner, but i never stuck to a certain group. i had white friends, black friends, hispanic friends, etc;......

TPS
Interesting that you would bring racism into this thread, which really has nothing to do with racism.

I am looking at your post with a grimaced expression now. confused
