Who were you in High School?
 
Breakfast Club Style

 


The Princess
The Athlete
The Brain
The Criminal
The Basketcase

So who were you?, i secondary school (high school) i was very popular until about year 8 (7th grade) when i kinda alienated all my friends with my taste of music, then i got bullied for a while, then i found new friends and school was great from then on. So i guess i fit in with the basketcase group, as i was never smart or and athlete, a criminal or a princess.

What about you?

I don't think I was any of those, I was just one of the quiet guys.

You need options for "the quiet one" and "the nerd".

at one point or another i was kinda all five, although change 'princess' to 'preppy' which was kinda what Molly Ringwald's charater was "a preppy princess" but primarily a basketcase

one of my favorite movies

you need options for "class clown"
that was me

A mixture of a loner and a mildly popular guy. I always hung out mostly with people who came to study from outside my hometown because the majority of the kids where i was born are wankers and they felt they'd treat small village students like they knew nothing.

you left off GAWTH, so I went with criminal (that's just as true).

I wish I could have been a princess, then I could have ridden unicorns. :(

I was a "goth" kinda dude in middle schooll.

In high school, I discovered Melt Banana, Atari Teenage Riot, Mr. bungle, and all sorts of "weird" bands and people thought I was weird on the bonus. So, I was the weird kid.. who was well-liked. Kinda liek now.

The Princess.

33% brain 33% criminal 33% basketcase?

I was the basketcase. I was a smart kid in high school, in all the advanced classes, but I was the most likely to say something to make you squint and tilt your head to the side. I made jokes that nobody laughed at, and I had friends, but I was always sort of on the outside of groups.

jon boy 04.03.2007 10:36 AM

i was the basketcase but so quiet no one ever knew whay i was upto most of the time. i got away with murder.

hey alex 04.03.2007 11:17 AM

i guess basket case- a running theme on here- Quiet and excelling only in art class and writting reviews in the school paper saying "Nurse is Sonic Youth' most commercial album since Dirty" when almost no one knew what i was talking about when i wrote about doolittle.

it was awesome, headphones kid. I can also qualify for napolean dynamite in middle school and I can sound just like the guy- which was cool until everyone started relating it to me-- and by that point it was too late- for my yearbook quote-- at least it'll effectively be something for people to remember me by.

luxinterior 04.03.2007 11:26 AM

I don't know. I think I was cool enough, though plenty of people probably did not think anything of me, there were others who tried hard to impress me.

With that said, I'm going to have to vote for "The Athlete."

Haha, here they always go 'Sonic who???, What the hell???'

Trasher02 04.03.2007 11:47 AM

There should have been an option "Weird cool kid".

!@#$%! 04.03.2007 11:52 AM

i forgot i was also an "athlete" but i always hated sports-- buried memories!

i'll have to rearrange those percentages...

I don't like classifying people or being classified, for that matter.
We are all different, that's what makes life interesting.

king_buzzo 04.03.2007 12:27 PM

I'm the 'outsider'

Phlegmscope 04.03.2007 12:39 PM

The people in high school didn't really give a shit about my music tastes, event though I talked alot about music. Now however, my classmates are making remarks about my liking for extreme music and noise. I know they're joking but occasionally it gets on my nerves, as it seems they think noise is the only kind of music I listen to.
Not that I really really bother to care.
