What does it mean that my highest scores were only 50%? Guess I wasn't much of anything....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We'd hoped you'd have amounted to more, tommy.

Maybe if there had actually been punks and goths at my highschool, I would have scored higher....

Huh. I think most of that is because I said I smoked cigarettes.

Me, I amounted to less:

  • Geek 25%
  • Goth 13%
  • Drama nerd 13%

Everything else was zero. I was judgmental, and needed good grades.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I got 50% punk/rebel, and everything else between 13% and 50%. I contain multitudes.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

100% Punk/Rebel

What is even happening?

Someone needs to make one of these up for people who graduated in the early-to-mid 80s. I don't think we distinguished Goth from Punk/Rebel, and Ghetto Gansta wasn't a style (at least where I was) yet.

Punk/Rebel 50%

Prep/Jock/Cheerleader 38%

Goth 25%

I wasn't a stoner in the slightest, but some of my friends were. I wasn't Punk/Rebel in the slightest, but some of my friends were. I wasn't a jock or cheerleader, either. I wasn't a geek, but was in classes with them. I wasn't bullied, but I didn't bully, either. The last play I was in was in junior high. I was just a kid. I had a good sized group of friends. I mostly got along with everyone. None of these ratings seem quite right.

I think our groups were more along the lines of

Rock

Disco

Punk

Geek

Drama/Chorus Nerd

Jock/Cheerleader/Prep

Loner

That was a long time ago, though.

Disco? Really? I don't think we had a group like that at our high school. I graduated the same year you did, I think.

Our groups were very loose. There were nerds, I suppose, and arty types, and definite academic geeks, and jocks. There were stoners, too. But there was a lot of economic class stuff going on. The rich kids mostly stuck together, even though a lot of them were jocks as well as stoners. Some were both -- kids who played sports and got high/drank on weekends.

My friends were mostly middle class, we all worked, we all drank (not abusively, though) and most of us got high at one point or another. But we also knew how to get away with cutting class and drinking without getting into trouble. We flew under the radar, mostly. And most of us got decent or better grades and wanted to go to college, although there were peripheral people (boyfriends, in particular) who did hard drugs and were not scholars, by any means.

I feel in pretty good company, any way you look at it. It also shows you just how indecisive a Libra can be; it looks like most categories I had a hard time deciding which one I wanted to be in.
