10/15/01: Don't you forget about me

Posted By: Karen_G


1) Were you a bully, nerdboy, loser, or invisible other in high school?

Nerdgirl supreme

2) Do you think that kids can be so mean as to justify going Columbine? Any sympathy for the picked on nerds that strike back?

No - if they're THAT mean, you leave, you don't kill everybody

3) Did you love going to high school and the whole popularity contests, school spirit, having your voice crack, growing hair in strange places, and popping zits? Or did you cut classes and are just happy to have made it out of that hell hole alive and with some shred of sanity?

I liked some of it, had some friends; wasn't popular at all really though. There was this bunch of snotty, popular girls who I overheard talking about me one day, laughing at my appearance. The first time I saw the She's Got Legs video by ZZ Top, it reminded me of them, and I wanted to come back to my high school reunion one day looking really hot with them looking really dumpy.

4) So do you now understand why you had to learn Algerbra, history, and industrial arts? Aren't you using it everyday?

I'm nerdgirl supreme, remember? I liked learning stuff. And I do use industrial arts quite frequently, though I never actually took the class.

5) Name the best things about going to high school (significant events like losing your virginity etc.).

Losing my virginity in high school??? Nuh uh.

I had a chance to go to France for a couple of weeks, since I was in French class, with a bunch of kids and the teacher, but it cost $500, which we didn't have to spend at the time. That would have been cool.

Can't think of anything, sorry.

6) Any teachers/administators that you would have loved to see keel over and die?

None that I can think of. Oh, when I was a high school teacher, I wanted the principal to keel over.

7) Ever have a crush on a teacher and/or an affair that you now feel safe in revealing?

No. I did have a crush on another student - HELLO JEFF DELVAUX, ARE YOU OUT THERE AND SINGLE?

8) Did you feel the need to act like a moron or did you take pride in being the first nerd to raise your hand to answer the tough questions?

Ooh ooh, pick me, pick me! Nerdgirl supreme ready with the answer.

9) Do anything that you regret in high school (like beat the crap out of kids or moon the janitor)?

Yes, I regret being so nerdy.

10) Have you gone to any reunions or do you plan to or are you just going to forget that high school ever happened until you can track down the people you hated and gut them like fish?

Never been to any reunions. Thought about going to the 25th this year, but couldn't find any information out about it. See above and the She's Got Legs reference. Would have liked to go, all dolled up and looking good, but you know, it wouldn't have worked out that way anyway. Deep down I'm still nerdgirl supreme. Hey, my nicknames in high school were "the brain", and "Lew Alcindor", later "Kareem Abdul Jabbar". The latter names were due to my lack of height (I was the shortest one in class for years). I played dumb in college just to avoid the one nickname coming back. Didn't work. My boss says I'm the smartest one at the office too. Damn.
