People thought I was a rebel smoker/bogan/asshole who hates everything you like, but then found me out to be nothing but a stark raving homo who still hated whatever you liked. :D

I eschew all groups - but I'm not a loner. I may be seen hanging out with several groups simply because I consider them to contain the people I like being around. Of course, there are some groups I WOULDN'T hang around, but mostly because I dislike the people within.

On the last week before christmas at my school is shit because all we do is effin posters and they're boring, I like watching films. But the general knowledge quizzes are pretty cool, because I like to show who all the stupid people are in my class! :P What do you people do on the last week of school before you break up?

oddveteran93 12-15-2006 02:46 AM

Uh, I wandered through the city (CBD Melbourne) with some friends, but isn't that completely off-topic?

snuzi 12-15-2006 07:31 AM

Usually nothing, with the exception of the stricter teachers' classes.

ANN NEELY 12-15-2006 01:10 PM

The creepy goth category has been my realm since around this time in 7th grade.

Mutual Friend 12-15-2006 02:47 PM

Eww, creepy goths!!

I've tried answering this thread several times, but nothing's really clicking. You've made me fair confused...

Arxryl 12-15-2006 03:52 PM

you could be one of those special individuals that has their own category.

Mutual Friend 12-15-2006 05:11 PM

Yes. That will be it.

Band Dork (The Higher End of the food chain there =P) but the lines were blurred between almost all the social cliques. Most of us Band peeps from graduating class of '06 were involved in all the bands but also in sports, service groups, etc. We were also really close with anyone in the fine arts (show choir and theatre as well). My main group was from the band, but by Senior year almost all the cliques generally knew me and various close friends of mine as well and I was friends with countless individuals in all those different groups. So group me in as a fun nice guy that kind of knew almost everybody. :)

Slaveless 12-16-2006 05:33 AM

The joker gentlemen of the class. I put down everyone's chairs and say bless you whenever you sneeze. I will also compliment the ladies(which might explain why I like being with them more than a whole group of boys). Jokes will pop into my head and make people laugh over time. Then I am the kind of guy that can almost fit into any group. The geek group, the nerd group, the popular group, and the girly girl group. (Not the emo or goth group, they just have weird jokes.) Pretty much that individual that has made their own sort of group in school. Yet I transform into the lonely kid at recess. Maybe because when you have your own little transformer group, you end up not having your own group of friends that you can pal around with. (My true friends often either go play in already begun game of tag and the rest have weird conversations about summaries of shows and games) You know what, just call me a chemo for chelomon. Or however that lizard's name is spelt.

I use to be a nerdy, autist emo kind of guy in early years, with actual friends to pal around with (they went away because they were moved to different classes than me). Yet fixing my spine was all I needed to get a social life.

Disclaimer: No, those people are not just being nice to me. They wouldn't actually be the first one to say hi to me if they were just being nice.

That is soooooo me this year, but as much as I love music and the arts as well as playing my instrument, the people really annoy me sometimes. Sure we all share a common goal of musical excellence, but most of the people can be so small minded about things like politics and human morals. I live in rural Pennsylvania, so basically everyone is die hard conservative with ignorance to match. It feels like have to keep the topic of music in constant motion whenever I talk to them.

snuzi 12-16-2006 11:19 AM

Believe me, I know exactly how that is. Most of the people at my school cannot keep a conversation unless it is about unimportant drivel. I hate that there isn't anyone that I can really talk to there, with the exception of one of my friends. They either don't care, or don't understand. It really perturbs me.

OANST 12-16-2006 11:21 AM

If you liked me I was "that funny guy". If you didn't like me I was "that asshole". About as close as I can come to it. My brand of humor has always been somewhat dickish. By the way, that's my word. I don't want to see a bunch of people saying dickish in the near future.

Strike Witch 12-16-2006 01:41 PM

Dickish. ehehe, they used to say that at my school...before it burned down.

Jordan 12-17-2006 03:34 AM

Do people get pantsed/kegged at your schools? They do it a lot at my school, apparently one boy kegged a girl and her underwear came down as well, she had to go in therapy and never went to school again... :(

snuzi 12-17-2006 04:58 AM

I've never heard of a case at my school. Although, seeing as how most of the people at my school are animals, they'd probably have to do something dumber and even more embarrassing.

Arxryl 12-17-2006 06:50 AM

And to add to my growing list of stereotyping, I would probably be known as the first to brag about something at school. Like,"I just got The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the gamecube."
then everyone around me would say "shut up."

Yeah. I am a braggart.

Al the Vykker 12-17-2006 11:27 AM

On another note, I miss being well known to some degree like I was in High School now that I'm in college. However, I also like the fact that at a large University, I have a close knit group, but I'm kind of a face in the crowd knowing the fact that there are so many possibilities surrounding you all at once that these people all seem to be separated from you by a few individuals (the whole 6 degrees of separation theory). Once again though, it's nice to come back here and always receive such a warm reception but what I really miss from High School was all my involvement in all the top musical ensembles and just playing in a group, period. I mean I have my Sax with me at College and I'm auditioning for a Jazz Ensemble next semester, but I miss all the wonderful players and people I forged and shared memories with...oh nostalgia.

I know what you mean, but don't forget the waves and waves of horrible people, and early on the waves of horrible musicians. :D

Facsimile 12-18-2006 12:13 AM

Um, I don't really know... I believe my group were referred to as music nerds a couple of times, which is nothing like 'band dork' described above, we just didn't stop talking about and listening to music.

We weren't really nerds though, we got on with everyone, and had a big group, but we were on the outside a bit for some reason...

Yes i have seen several people get pantsed as it were and one of thoughs peeps included me
Good thing i haven't heard any chavs here thank god

Ninjaxe 12-20-2006 02:00 AM

I was basically a loner and only Knew a small group of friends. My life didn't spark till 3rd year and my words was all I have. So I got sterotyped as a smooth talker. Some people hated me and didnt believe a word I say. There are those guilable types whom do your every bidding. In the end I only still have a small group of friends. Some I don't even speak to.

Once a loner always a loner. I notice no one had said dumbass:p I admit I was classfied a dumbass on my first year. Not good any subject part from maths.

Wow.....that's unfortunate. Yep, my school has kegging, but there's never been incidents like that.

I've kinda fallen into a new class lately- physically tough, feel-no-pain guy, which you would not expect looking at me, especially since I'm not actually strong. I suppose it's due to the fact that whenever we do rugby, I don't care about getting kicked, hit in the face, sat on my head etc. and will tackle the biggest in the year, as well as other incidents. It's not a great reputation to have though, especially when you're unpopular and not very strong- it leads to all kinds of insults about having 'no balls' if you get hit down there but shrug it off, or about being a freak or whatever just cause you don't go to the sidelines every time you get struck in the face. Not the best reputation to have.

Statikk HDM 12-21-2006 11:26 AM

Pantsing is awesome, especially the elusive "Commando Pantsing"
Somebody needed therapy because they were Commando pantsed? I called that "Thursday" throughout high school. The rules are simple:
Do not pants the opposite sex, do not pants a non-pantser, do not pants if you are not ready to be pantsed.

Rich 12-21-2006 12:14 PM

I'm referred to as 'Indie' or 'Indie scum' by people, though I'm also an honourary member of the pedo crew.

I didn't think there were rules for pantsing people. But, I guess I've been wrong this entire time.

Jordan 12-23-2006 03:07 PM

I kinda think pantsing is for perverts, they want to see other people's underwear!

Typical, when you act as if you're hurt you get picked on, and if you aren't bothered about pain you get picked on, it's the same everywhere, my friend! :(

Slaveless 12-23-2006 03:13 PM

I have been pantsed, but that is because I deserved it. And luckily it was in the locker room, so no one that was of the opposite sex saw. That is the only case I could think of that pantsing was happening. Luckily for me, my pants didn't get very far down to the ground.

Ironically, the person that pants me was a bit of a pervert. Jordan_Boi gets a point.

Jordan 12-23-2006 03:22 PM

:D Yay, I get a point! But what about a cookie? :)
Someone tried to keg me just outside the changing rooms, but luckily I had hold of my P.E shorts! But if I hadn't watched out he would have pulled everything down, because he managed to pull my boxers down a wee bit, but I was lucky!
