really weird, and I still am, I guess haha, though a large number of people think of me as a bad ass for my total lack of concern with material society and fasion (I wear what's comfortable, often that was blue jeans, loafers, and some silly t-shirt) ------------- back from the dead, i will begin posting reviews again and musing through the forums |

A nun once described me as The Antichrist because I fondled a girl's bottom at a school disco...
Dragged me out of the hall by my left ear....

I was me, not a stereotype.
I was different things to different people (teachers, friends, classmates, jocks, the invisible generic masses), I guess. ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

I only finished high school a few months ago actually. I think I was probably always viewed as an eccentric right the way through my school life, with my preference for anything with a 'cult' theme. I stuck by prog really, but I went through all kind of things like Spaghetti Westerns, Kung Fu films and my current obsession, cult British TV. I simply wouldn't accept that newer meant better.

Among my friends, I was mainly known as the slightly weird guy who had tons of useless trivia in his head...  Generally speaking though, I don't think we had that kind of "pigeon-holing" at my school - I had friends from all kinds of social circles; we didn't give it much thought. -------------

I was an anachronism in high school.I was a "head"(pot smoker),who played three sports(football,baseball,lacrosse).I hung out with the heads and the jocks.I also did very well academically,was a voracious reader,and loved prog and sci-fi and fantasy,so I was considered geeky too.I also played drums in a local metal band called Roadkill(what a stupid name!!!!),and hung out with all the music geeks.
Where is the head/jock/geek option? -------------  |

| Hmm, tough choice for me. Probably stoner (not that I was but every one of my friends thought I did) and geek and genius and, maybe, the kid from the insane asylum. I sometimes talk to myself, drift off in conversations, ramble on about something, mutter something under my breath and forget what I was saying, and be really tired in the morning and be wired by the afternoon. Maybe schizophrenic weirdo is for me. |

I am frequently being called the Antichrist, but I am also Satan, that
one really weird kid, stoner, hippie, genius, retard, God and Jesus. I'd like to add that I really dislike categorizing myself. I prefer being totally original, although I don't succeed all the times, since I'm a human like everyone else and therefore bound to act like everyone else in certain situations. Whatever people label me as, they tend agree that I'm a notorious eccentric, so I've adapted that view of myself aswell, to keep things simple and (relatively) organized. |

My government teacher jokingly referred to me as a "communist hippie freak," which was fine except I'm a socialist. I have no objection to being a hippie freak.

none of the above really hit me spot on, but the most frequent 'nickname' I've recieved would be genius, I guess.
I'm not complaining, though I some times feel like having an IQ of around 140 can create a certain distance between you and your peers(I never even mention my IQ any more, people say stuff like "are you a friggin Einstein or something?" with a look on their face as if I'm from another planet) |
Posted By: progismylife

Why do people think that being called Einstein is an insult? It's like saying to a good basketball player "are you a friggin Michael Jordan?". I think I got an IQ of 159 or something like that, just in case anyone was wondering. |

I really don't consider myself apart of one social group, but if there was a prog group that would be awesome. People consider me weird I guess. I'm not extremely weird or anything, but I don't talk to much (I'm really tired in school), and when I do it's usually random/weird/doesn't make sense.  My friends call me pothead as a joke (I don't think I look that stereotypical though)... but I did get "random" drug tested once for no reason. -------------

it's nice to recieve compliments about being smart and stuff, but people tend to look at you as 'abnormal' for some reason. it kind of turns out like bands that become known for making weird, abnormal music instead of becoming known for making good music, if that's a plausible analogy to use :p |

That's my other group! Also, some people call me a "genius," but I don't think I am. I know I'm very intelligent, but I think someone has to prove their genius. I don't care if your IQ is 160 and you're a technical genius, you're not a genius in my book. Guys like Einstein, Oppenheimer, and Stephen Wilson have proven their genius. They are true geniuses. -------------

I don't know about that. Maybe my school is weird, but I remember the standard cliques, you know the jocks, white trash kids, popular people, cheer leaders, geeks, losers, and smart kids, starting around third grade. The music lovers, art fanatics, and stoners came much later though, Mind you, they weren't very tight. Hell, I was in the jocks right when the cliques formed. Oh how quickly that changed.
Back to the topic. I guess I don't fall in any one catagory. To my friends I'm the stoner who loved weird music. To people who don't know me I'm the weird quiet kid with really long hair. Teachers see me as one of the really smart kids even though I don't usualy take anything except tests seriously. I'll vote for stoner though. I t seems to be what most people think of me as.
