band geek for the first couple of years. then i quit in 11th grade because we had a horrible new band teacher. after that i kind of floated from group to group, but i went to two different high schools and they were complete opposites. one school, if you weren't in a "clique" you were a complete social outcast. the next school was made up of all the outcasts, so we all got along pretty well.

I didn't really fit into any group - I was a 'techie' and hung out backstage in the theatre mostly, but also was in choir and played soccer (poorly) for 2 years. I pretty much had my nose in a book all the way through school too, so that's probably what most people would remember about me. Other than not having time to read much, I probably haven't changed a ton...

I had more extracurriculars than classes during high school -- my parents figured that if they kept me busy, I'd have no time to date (or get in trouble), and it worked. So I played varsity in three sports (field hockey, fencing, and lacrosse), played violin in the orchestra, was in the chorus of the spring musical, on the tech squad for the fall play, ran the school newspaper, contributed to the year book and literary mag, sang in an a capella group, was in student government, Amnesty International, and a peer-to-peer support program. There were a few other groups, too, but those were the biggies...

Gah, just looking at that list makes me tired now...

I was a theater geek. I loved performing, especially musical theater. No one would ever guess that now -- I'm quiet and reserved. Always have been, but theater allowed me to come out of my shell and be a totally different person on-stage. Unfortunately, I haven't done any performing since high school.

I was part of a group of smart kids but we weren't unpopular...it was actually pretty cool to be smart at my high school, which was fairly academic. We were not partiers - our group mostly hung out at each other's houses watching videos and playing board games - but we weren't picked on by the "popular" crowd either, in fact most of us had at least one friend in that crowd we got along well with.

I was a band geek..luckily people thought I was cool because I was a girl drummer...
