Stick up for it all you want, erika, I still forgot/forget 'em. See what I mean?

Yeah, and those were not on the same stations as "Bat out of Hell" anyways, I'd almost bet. My mom watched "Soul Train" when I was tiny. Blondest viewer Don Cornelius ever had, I bet.

Who's surprised that msbelle is a ghetto fabulous cheerleader?

I was very much the loner. I'm surprised I scored on punk/rebel... and stoner is a laugh.

I graduated with 91 other kids. The school was small enough that there wasn't a division between jocks and smart kids. A lot of the athletes (guys and girls) also took really advanced and/or AP classes.

There was a contraversy when we graduated and they put out the class rankings -- none of the grades were weighted, so it didn't matter if you took lots of AP classes and chemistry and whatnot. The girl who ranked fourth got really good grades and did really well, but didn't take any of the harder classes. A lot of the girls who took AP classes got really pissed off becuase she was ranked ahead of them, they bitched about how they worked so hard and challenged themselves and blah blah. I knew the girl they were mad at, she worked just as hard at her classes as they did and put in a lot of effort.

I thought they were really arrogant and obnoxious for acting like she'd cheated them out of their rightful place.

Some of the girls were ones I had wanted to be friends with at one point, they were alternative and arty and seemed really cool. I wanted to be part of their clique until I overheard them at one point call another girl a dyke and make "ewww icky! gross! disgusting" comments. After that I wasn't interested.

Which is pretty accurate for me. The only real laugh is the "Stoner" bit. My last semester of high school (this was at a boarding school in northern India) I was assigned the school's champion stoner as a room-mate. I suspect that the administration thought that a) I would be a good influence on him (Hah!), and b) I would narc on him if necessary. My classmates all knew I was going to a) let him be himself, and b) NOT narc on him. In the event, it took him only 10 days to get busted smoking hash behind the gym and sentenced to living with one of the senior teachers off-campus while his parents were contacted to arrange the details of his expulsion.

I suppose the loner bit is accurate, especially my first two years. Drama nerd fits more for the second half. Geek is completely appropriate, but punk/rebel is actually kind of funny. I was always impressed by the few goths I knew in college, but I don't think we really had any in high school. I went to two high schools, but both were quite homogenous middle class, very focused on arts and academics. And a lot of my friends were stoners, but I was completely square and a teetotaller.

When will you be in Scotland Sheryl? Jealous

We're leaving Wed. night, and returning on the 14th. We're going for WorldCon, and staying a few more days to sightsee.(We'll be in Glasgow)

On the quiz I scored highest as Geek(80-something percent) followed by loner. The first was quite accurate(still is) the second not quite.(Not a loner by choice, really)

dcp, wow, your senior high year was a lot more interesting than mine!

I saw roadrunners today. Running on the road! Away from my car!!!

Note: they do not go "beep beep."

[edited to make whom I was addressing evident]

Second post of the day, and it's about food again. I've had a rocking food day. (There was sea salt on the tomato/feta omelette this morning, by the way. Mmmm. Sea salt.)

For dinner I had, wow, some amazing mozzarella wrapped with a slice of prosciutto plus yummy tomatoes and basil in balsamic/oil. The cheese was so. good. Oh, man. Delish. The entree was veal - good but nothing to exclaim about. But the dessert. Creme brulee cheesecake. I didn't choose it, and I didn't really think it would work for some reason. I was very wrong. It was just... creamy/sweet perfection, a lovely, balanced blend of two perfectly lovely desserts. And the crust. Don't know what it was, but I think I fell in love a little.

Also, the restaurant, which is new - first time there - is about five minutes from home. Mwah-ha-ha.

The quiz said I was 63% punk/rebel. I really just was not.

senior high year

The upside was that I didn't have to have a room-mate the rest of the semester. Perfect for a loner like myself.

Roadrunners are neat. And quick. I've never managed to get a good picture of one.
