F.Net High School

[JackOfHearts]

Yep, I was a definite loner. I signed up for Marching band for two years, but even then, I never really fit in with that crowd. I was considered nerdish, though I wasn't hardcore enough to fit into that crowd. I wore a hat that was considered somewhat cowboyish, but I mainly got comments about Indianna Jones. I didn't hang out in any crowds, though I had friends from varioius cliques. For the most part, I was content to read in the library during breaks and hang out with one or two friends every now and again. Especially in Senior year, when I would cut class with this one friend of mine to get coffee. Those were good times.

Actually I was taught by Chiron. Before the unfortunate arrow incident. His school was the centaur of the academic universe at the time.

Nice.

Yep, I was a definite loner.

Jesus defines: The term loner implies that being alone was a personel choice.

It was a personal choice. I may not have fitted in with the bank geeks or the nerds, but I didn't really care to either. *shrugs* Besides, for the first two years of highschool, I went to a catholic school. EVERYONE was a Jesus freak, and I just found it annoying.

There isn't a group where I really fit. I'm a writer so I could check 'artist/thespian'. I hang out with the stoners, but don't do drugs so I could check 'stoner'. I skipped 8th grade and I'm in all AP and IB classes so I could check 'nerd'. I've played almost every sport known to man and was good at them so I could check 'jock'. I listen to rock constantly and write music so I could check 'rocker'. I work with horses so I could check 'cowboy/cowgirl'. I used to be a chearleader so I could check 'prep' (by my school's definition). I'm pretty much a mix of everything. But I'm still in high school (about to start sophmore year) so who knows what can happen in three years? We'll just have to see.

Good for you! Meet new people! But... until you've smoked a bunch of weed, you're not a "stoner."

Was it one made by Catbert, Evil HR Director?

Exactly, I've never tried it, but 90% of my HS friends used it and other things on a regular basis. But, because I never joined in... I can't check "Stoner"

[Inquartata]

What if you just fired the rifle a lot?

"I was cleaning it and it went off"

Sorry, after Inq's post I couldn't resist saying that.

I suppose that, because I'm still in high school, I'm missing the hindsight that will let me admit that maybe I am, in fact, a nerd, or a geek, or whatever. I have friends in every single one of these groups and I'm not really sure which one I fit into. I guess I'm a prep, except that I'm the kind of prep that doesn't spend a lot of time on looking preppy, it just sort of happens. There are definitely some catagories missing from this poll though.

[fencingfrog]

im still in hs, but i said loner(im picky with friends and spend alot of time alone), jock(im always fencing, and i wear "sporty" clothes, and ill be co-captaining the fencing team this year), rocker (it just fits), cowgirl (im very outdoorsy), artist/thespian(im ditching band for art) and band geek(did marching band last year, and will go back the year after this one).

[Zasha]

'loner' because i ate lunch in the library and was socially inept. 'jock' because of track and taking weight room for gym class (i tolerated the football team, and their sexist remarks, for ninety minutes at a time). i made plenty of art, but was never very good at it. i didn't check 'nerd' because i took ap classes but didn't care about my gpa. and i almost failed math. who was i in high school? the girl in combat boots, carrying camus, and not talking.

[RITFencing]

You sound a lot like I was in HS, particularly taking AP classes, scoring high on my SATs and not caring about my gpa. As well as putting up with a lot of ****.

[restlesscheese]

I think that would put you in "nerd." Show some pride, man!

Correction: WOman.

And yes, there is a difference (no matter how subtle) between the geek and the nerd. Geeks tend to be technology/sci-fi gurus and are not always totally socially inept, just more interested in facts and figures. Nerds tend to be just plain goofy and lack a good amount of social skills and IQ.

Napoleon Dynamite defines nerd perfectly.

At least, that's the way it is around here. I'm a geek. One might say I'm flamboyantly geek. I'm geek and proud of it!

[Cerian]

Started out a loner/geek, shifting into a sort of European intellectual wannabe sub culture rife with cinophelia, art galleries, symphonies, political/philosophical discussion, and basing wardrobes around the color black and 'style' (not 'fashion'), all a result of my membership in what we now lovingly name, St Ronald's Academy for Pretentious Art-****s.

Sorry, I went for what I thought were the basic groups for my HS. There's a limit for how many options I can pick .

Apparently Catholic schools in different parts of the country are very different. Only about 10% of the people were activley religous. Of course most of us had been in Catholic School for 14 years(prek to senior in HS).

Mr. Epee apparently fit into every single one of my categories. NO REP FOR YOU!

I think Mr. Epee likes to take the "shotgun" approach to answering poll questions.
