A story on Fox News this morning gave me the idea for this thread....apparently being a nerd is now cool...
TOTD: In high school, what were you? Nerd? Jock? Rocker? Part of the Cool, Party Crowd? Somewhere in between?
I would fall into the "in between" category (although Shannon would say I was definitely a nerd) because I was friends with and hung out with everyone in those classifications. I was a quiet, somewhat shy and introverted teenager...but did play some sports and went to parties, etc."The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."

Sunny and hot today in the metropolis. Getting ready to tutor my girlfriend in driving to work and come back with the car. Productive day yesterday in the pub! :D
TOTD: Good topic, DS. In HS, many years ago, I was a bit like the Christian Slater character in Heathers.

I would say you were a nerd because you were a nerd, dear.
I'm not sure what category would describe me best. People feared me and wanted to be my friends.:p

I was probably "in between". I wasn't a jockette and I wasn't a stoner; it was a small private girls' school, and we all had to live together. :)

I was mainly the socially awkward nerd.
