    Band geek. Went to band camp. Performed with the Minnesota Orchestra. And didn't give a rip about anything else.

    I did experience first hand, though, that if you are amazing in something arts related, you WILL get special treatment - just like really good athletes do. Colleges were chasing me down despite my crappy GPA, I got a load of scholarship offers, and my auditions were non-stop.

    We moved my junior year from a suburban area to a very rural area. So I didn't really have a lot of friends the last two years, although I had a ton when we lived in the suburbs. I was a cross country skiier, had a few eating disordered years, and was skinny as a rail. I weight lifted my senior year, and worked about 40 hours a week at the local grocery store rather than hanging out. In fact, I opted to manage the store instead of go to my senior prom. Money talks, people!

    And I totally forgot about Myspace. I logged in and started going through photos and found a super awesome one of me near my heaviest out at the bar with friends. I'm sitting in a chair and this creepy guy that was totally wasted kept coming up and humping my chair. And I totally want to download it and make it my pic on here now. It kind of cracks me up. Sheesh, 90 pounds ago I got hit on harder than I ever do now! (Note, this was only 5 years ago. Not high school. I was 24-ish. And realizing that makes me sad that I spent my early and mid-twenties heavy and not doing anything about it. Oh well. I always knew 30 would be my year..... and it's coming!)

    A bit of a dichotomy - I was on the debate team (nerd) and also on the drill (dance) team (somewhat cool I guess) - so I was friends with everyone, I have a VERY smart older brother and everyone thought I would also be that smart - umm no, I ended up giving my mom a LOT of gray hair, I was (wait, still am) loud and opinionated (hence the debate team) but was also scared to get in trouble - a damn tortured soul I tell you

    Overachiever, involved in student governement and was a swimmer. Voted "Most Talkative", which hasn't changed much.

    The one thing that's definitely changed from high school was the horrible permed hair (it was the mid-90's...). I went away to college and immediately cut my hair into a pixie cut.

    Smart, good student, a little shy and nerdy. Really small for my age until senior year. Got bullied a little early on until I finally schooled some punk that underestimated me. Varsity Cross Country and Track (distance runner). NJROTC got me interested in the Navy. I guess that stuck. I retired after 21 years of service as a Senior Chief Petty Officer.

    Nerd, just nerd.. It's either library or soccer pitch. Now? No book, just soccer... much happier.

    I spent way too much time working the muscles between my ears and not a whole lot on the rest. Spearhead of the math team, went to a math and science magnet school, uber-nerd extraordinaire.

    Wasn't skinny by any means - always have been naturally big. Tried out for wrestling at unlimited class my freshman year, then track and field for one year. Didn't pan out for either, so I went back to my computers and calculators.

    Oh jeez. Thanks a lot for mentioning MySpace.

    So I had to come back with evidence.

    My Britney Spears impression. This had to be senior year or so.

    Band camp. Told ya! Junior year? I was such a dork.....

    This was actually a year after I graduated. But this picture is one I think of when I think about "high school skinny".

    So as you can see, I was 110% dork with a dash of loser. :laugh:

    I was the slightly chubby good girl, who hung out with the other rejects at my all girls school. I thought I was so fat - would kill to be that size now LOL

    My last year at high school I transferred to a co-ed school and hung out with all the geeks who were into dungeons and dragons and Dire Straits.

    Just celebrated my 20 year reunion this past weekend (I didn't go). I was the super bubbly dance team girl that everybody liked, yet I couldn't get a high school boy to date me to save my life! Ha ha! Always had the older boys after me.
