Late 90s/early 2000s, so keep that in mind.

I guess nerdy/gamer budding internet dude. But I hung out mostly with everyone and I was your hookup when it came to repairing electronic shite.

But i got along with everyone

Youngest in my class always. Luckily I was big for my age, I hit six foot tall in ninth grade.

Tested well, my ASVAB score was the highest in the State my Junior year.

Didn’t care about grades until my junior year, straight As from then on.

Played football (was mediocre), was on the team only to further my social life with the ladies.

That was frustrating for my coaches because they could see that I had talent but was only going through the motions.

Most Likely to Succeed & Most Wittiest, Runner-Up to Mr “*” High, I found out later that I was supposed to have won that but the principal overruled the Yearbook staff...

I had an idyllic time upon reflection but I’ve never looked back.

Better things were to come.

I kept to myself mostly. Didn’t like anyone in the town I was in, bunch of preppy trust fund kids. Cleveland is a shite hole. Got along fine with people, couldn’t wait to leave. Walked in graduation, car was already packed and I left to New Orleans about 10 minutes after while all those shitheads we’re taking pictures.

I was a jock, a nerd, and I guess a bit of a preppy.

I played sports, had a 4.3 GPA, and was in a bunch of clubs.

I was the quiet, shy, skinny kid. I kept to myself and rarely went "out". I seemed to always be working, fishing, hunting, or some other activity that I found more important than HS parties. I'm pretty sure that I never went to an after school function all the way through HS. Imagine my surprise when I was voted "most popular" and "most likely to succeed".

I tried to make it through with no one noticing me, but no....instead I got my picture plastered on the yearbook in full page photos.

I was a lot of things, but the one/two words that describes me was class clown. I took being the funniest kid in school very seriously.

This story sums me up well. Some pretty girl had a huge crush on me. She invited me to prom. The day of, I ditch her to play video games. I still feel bad about that. Besides sports, I was an incel (but apparently by choice)

I was the Audio/Video nerd. I set up projectors, mics, lighting in school productions and all that jazz. We even had a rudimentary TV studio.

I still help with sound and lighting at my church these days.

I was kind of a mix. I wasn't a genuine nerd, the kind that you envision with a pocket protector in the Math Club, but I was into some nerd-ish things, but not the gamut. For instance, I read a lot of classic sci-fi in high school (Frank Herbert, Arthur C. Clarke, etc), but I was never into things like Dungeons and Dragons. I collected comic books, but didn't go to conventions or dress up ("cosplay" they now call it).

I was into metal, but my hair wasn't especially long. I played drums both in the school band in and garage bands. My crowd wasn't into drugs like pot or pills, but we were always on the hunt for a beer. I was BIG into going to rock concerts back in school, all of them metal or classic rock. So picture a guy with an Iron Maiden t-shirt and his face in a book (usually military history or classic sci-fi) and you've pretty much got me.

I was a combination jock and pothead. Our head football coach called anyone who smoked weed a bird He was a strange dude. He also told our girlfriends to not have sex with us before games on game day
