Weirdo. I actually still like it.

Around downtown I was Cawb.

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Hmmmmmmm.

Difficult.

I guess the most accurate was "Teachers pet" as all the teachers liked me, but I was voted Head Boy by all the teachers and the students, so the usual "teachers love you, pupils hate you" thing was not really in effect.

To be honest I was the affable, likeable one that everyone knew, and liked, sort of but did not go out of thier way to talk to.

I was the "What does this mean?, Where is that?, How do I?, What do I do about?, Why should I?" answer boy.  Class wise-man maybe?  lol I was always asked all those things, people seemed to think I was super wise and knowledgeable because I hag a posh accent (In a rough school) and had a huge vocab due to reading.

Some people used to hate me, and try to bully me etc, but beacue everyone kinda liked me/found me useful, I always had loads of people who would side with me and gang up on any poetential trouble-makers lol.

I had a few labels they kind of changed through the years.  First I was an annoying little "clinger" or "wannabe" in 9th (Even all the way through Jr. High too ).  This was mainly due to me trying to find a place to be at that time.  After the 10th grade (because of the hell I had to go through) I was basically labeled a loner.  I didn't trust anyone, didn't want any friends, so basically I became the "Weird loner girl".  The funny thing is that because I didn't want friends, that is the time everyone wanted to become my friend which then annoyed me to no end  :lol: (I also ended up with the nickname Mulder by my friends because of this).  When 12th grade hit I just decided I didn't care, that was going to be myself, and happy no matter what.  So, at that time I'm not sure I guess because I was into Criminal Justice and had many activities in this area I could of been labeled "Nark".  But I really didn't care so it didn't really matter to me.

I suppose "quiet" would have been the way anyone described me. The only thing I ever heard anyone call me that could be a label was "fat (I was barely overweight, but you know high school) but funky," which isn't all bad. lol  Most of my friends were geeks, but I was kinda a geek/punk fringe type. If anyone ever really labeled me as anything, I was too busy to notice.

No one knew how to label me or my friends. One thing I was always called was shy or quiet, but I had a very tight-knit group of friends and that changed when I was with them. Some kids called us goth but that's cause they were too stupid to disregard the fact that our shirts were black and actually look to see the bands on them were punk. :P Other kids always looked at us funny cause we'd be laughing constantly, but that's cause we knew each other so well and had tons of inside jokes. I was basically just part of a group that was known as "those weird kids who are always laughing." A couple of us were nerds, some of us were artsy, some "goth" or "punk", and some of us were artsy nerds who listened to punk. Quite frankly, we were proud that they didn't know what to make of us. ^_^

I was the weird angry goth chick, who people thought was going to shoot up the school o.O My ex-boyfriend (we were together at the end of high school) was the school neo-Nazi. Neither of us has changed :P

Nope. And I doubt he ever will. He did get *really* buff though. You could do ironing on that boys abs :D

What has being buff to do with being Neo-Nazi? Nothing. Why do you tell me that?

He can work out as much as he wants to, I don't care, but I kinda feel like you are being proud of him being labeled a Nazi?

I meant that that is the only way he's changed since high school. And honestly, it doesn't bother me, anymore then I was bothered by the fact that the last guy I dated was a gamer. A label is a label, and the reason behind him getting that label, is because he is fascinated by Nazis. He doesn't support the genocide of anyone

In High School I was probably thought of as an intellectual loner. (I don't consider myself an intellectual in any way.) I had my friends, but I ignored school society and was very anti-authority. I was definitely not impressed with any teacher, and considered it all a farce, though I did get good grades in the subjects I was interested in.

Funny thing was, our High School principal was very strict (to our minds) and we were supposed to follow many rules of behavior and dress, etc. The short story is, we students got fed up and organized a strike. At 9:00 one morning probably 70% of the students just walked out of class and sat down on the lawn outside the school. That's several hundred of us. We vowed not to return until the stupid rules were eliminated.

I think about 50% of the students stayed away from school for three days. The school administration were beside themselves in frustration and confusion. They threatened expulsion and all sorts of repercussions. I think in the end they felt humiliated before their peers and finally the school board relented, and soon after that principal was replaced.

I was overjoyed by this demonstration of heroism by us kids.

Then he is not a Neo-Nazi. Neo-Nazis want to revive Hitler's ideology of hate and genocide. He just has a historical fascination with them. I did for a while, too. People jokingly called me a Neo-Nazi, but I was very swift to correct them. If he is calling himself a Neo-Nazi that is what people seem to be worried about. People who call themselves Neo-Nazis are often the ones who belong to white separatists organizations that spew hate and racism.

I had different lables for different schools. In grade school I was a nerd, in junior high I did not exist, at first, then I stood up for a friend (who was considered a nerd) and then people made a point that they were ignoring me, and I became a weirdo for standing up for a nerd,then in 9th grade I was a stoner. And that stuck.
:yes:
Onomatopoeia. Well, that doesn't change the fact that it's a dumb word. I mean, you gotta wonder what was going on in the room the day they needed to make up that word.
