There is a MIDDLE GROUND Jen. Not a "goody two-shoe" or a "trouble maker". I was part of that group. Kinda invisible. Someone who could easily be ignored. In fact, most people ignore me to this day. I was part of the projection crew though. We ran Bell & Howells including a carbon arc machine in the main ouditorium.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-26-2004 08:02 PM                        Hey Chris, there were no uniforms in my catholic high school! People would constantly wear t-shirts that said "Father Ken raped my dad and now he has to get his rectum analyzed". OK OK OK it wasn't that bad. We had a dress code, but no uniforms.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 02-26-2004 08:28 PM                     well the uniforms are hot!  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-26-2004 09:00 PM                  Joe: Chris told me he's into Sister Nurse Diesel.... >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Adam Fraser Master Film Handler Posts: 499 From: Houghton Lake, MI, USA Registered: Dec 2001 posted 02-26-2004 09:12 PM                        I was another of those middle of the road kids. Had just a few friends. I didn't care about school but got all A's and B's because they only taught to the stupid kids' level at my HS. Was always inserting little comments at just the right time during lectures when I knew more about the subject than the teacher or I thought their opinion was wrong just to piss the teacher off. Never got into much trouble, did some things that weren't legal but didn't get caught. I never really had girlfriends until my Junior year of HS, I think mostly because I cared more about working than a social life, worked 20-40 hours a week from 13 on. But now I'm 21 and married so I guess that was alright. College was very uneventful; went to class, did my work, and graduated.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 02-26-2004 09:17 PM                        quote: Joe: Chris told me he's into Sister Nurse Diesel.... >>> Phil Chris you are a sick freak!  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 02-27-2004 03:48 AM                     Well I dont even know what a sister natal nurse is. When I was in middle school my brother (4yrs older) had a girlfriend that wore the school girl outfits. This was around 1998 and Mario 64 was the big game at the time. She would always come over to play Mario 64 and every time she would sit down on the floor her skirt would fly up a little so you could see her (unfortunately covered) goodies. Also when she would be mad at the game she would kinda lean back a little and had the same effect. Why did my brother break up with her?? I dont know, now that I think about it...I need to go beat him up.  |  IP: Logged Emma Tomiak Expert Film Handler Posts: 238 From: Carrollton, TX, USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 02-27-2004 11:47 AM                        I went to the only Catholic high school here in Ft. Worth. I really hated all the religious stuff, and I yelled at my sophomore religion teacher because of all the bigoted BS she was spouting. I suppose I was that weird girl you saw in the hall but never knew anything about. I pissed of the deans a lot because of my many piercings and uniform infractions, and because I wouldn't wear a skirt to Mass "like all female students should." I had about 4 close friends, and never really talked to anyone else unless I was asked a question or was really pissed off.

My grades were alright, I think the only real classes I ever got A's in were CADD drafting and anatomy. I ran track for 5 years, and cross country for 4 years, so I guess you could say I was a track star. Ran the 2 mile in 9:58 I wasnt really into sports, and I wasnt really a jock, just a geek who could run really fast. During the second half of my senior year, I started an underground rock station, which I think granted me more popularity than any of my running ever did. Just goes to show ya, you have to break the rules to get attention  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

Back at Halloween at Brad's Josh ran into the auditorium and back out again (I guess to get something that was in the auditorium). I was in the booth. I saw a blur. A very damn fast blur. I as like "WTF was that?!?" And Brad said "Josh." And then I said "OMFG!"  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 02-27-2004 07:27 PM                     Interesting how everyone that has posted on this thread has a picture except for Jeremy Fuentes. I grew up in a small sheltered town I refer to as Hell, Texas. I was very popular, but in a one-sided way. Everyone knew me, but I didn't know most of them. By the time I got into the 8th grade, I was that guy who repaired all of the projectors (actually it was more like AV equipment in general) and set up video distribution systems around the school (multiple classes could then watch the same videotape simultaneously on different monitors in each room without the school having to spend $1000 per vcr back in the day) and I quickly became the official cameraman videotaping the sporting events...except for the football team which was of course too important enough for video. They got 16mm, which was fun. By the time I got into high school I was appointed the title of "lord of the dark room" for the yearbook and was producing multiple camera videotapes of all school functions (student musicals, plays, graduation ceremonies and crap like that) at a dandy profit margin. I also had a nice gig on the side videotaping weddings (my record was 12 cameras), I became a manager by the age of 16 1/2 and tended to find a solution to anything that annoyed me (for example you would be amazed at how easy a vcr can be modified to defeat Macrovision if armed with the service manual) or if there was something I felt could somehow be more automated (like my various homemade platters that worked better than most of the junk on the market today). As for friends though, they were few because being social just wasn't me. Heck I'm still not all that social. I guess it was kind of hard for the rest of the school to NOT know who I was though. Other than that, high school was an incredible waste of time. Thankfully I started doing that "zero hour" thing and by the time I hit my senior year my school day was over by noon, at which point I left campus and went to work (a far more productive use of time). My typing class turned out to be the most helpful class of those 12 years. Other than that, I didn't really learn much of use to me. The things that have been of use to me was all self-taught. Was I a goody goody? No Was I a jock? No Could I run really fast? Hell no! I don't know what I was. Still don't.  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 02-27-2004 07:33 PM                        In high school I was the fastest person not on the track team. I beat them all in time trials but refused to compete in sports. I did not like attention then nor really do I like it that much now, unless I particularly invite it. In fact, you will never find a picture of me in the year books, as I refused to be part of any long lasting memory. However, everyone knew me for the most part. I helped people get elected to student offices, was part of the then award winning music department (multiple instruments), and an all around socialite. So take it how you will, but I shunned the spotlite IF it was put upon me without my agreement, but I invited it on my own terms. I was a total nerd until I was 15, then some bully tried to beat the tar out of me. I stood there like homer simpson taking a beating and never got a mark. the bully was suspended and rather embarassed. After that summer, I grew 14 inches in height, then became a very sought after hunk. NO REALLY. I had girls all over me. Back then I was actually atractive! Now I only get hit on by old fat men. WOW what age and complete inactivity will do to a person. I miss the days of underage teenage girls feeding me snack foods in the hallways in an attempt to get me to date them. Now for some reason it's "illegal" for me to even attempt to date underage teenage girls. I mean what's all that about anyway? Ciao dave  |  IP: Logged William T.

About the only thing I was involved in in High School was being the the newspaper photographer and the manager/personal potographer for the Cheerleaders. I played Soccer my Sophmore year and 8 years prior in a city league and was in Band from 7th to 9th grade. I too was corrupted by 8 years of Public school. Went through 4 years of private school 2 of them sponsored by a Church. Other than that I was pretty much invisible on campus as well.  |  IP: Logged Martin Brooks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 900 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 02-27-2004 10:11 PM                        The feeling I get from your post is that you might have more respect for the trouble-makers than for the "goody-goody" people. But it's the troublemakers who really were the more arrogant and immature people who acted-out in order to masquerade their own deficiencies. I attended a specialized very large high school in the city -- it had over 6500 students and it was hard for anyone to become distinctive and known. I eventually became editor-in-chief of the yearbook, but most people in the school still didn't know who I was. At the time, the school was also an all-boys school (it's now co-ed), but every September, there would be an article in the school newspaper about how there were actually some girls attending the school, but since the school was so large, we might have not seen them yet. Most freshman usually believed this story - at least for a few weeks. There was a transit strike in NYC when I was in high school and after about ten days they told us if we couldn't get to our own high school to go to the closest one. The closest one to me was a pretty tough all-boys school, so I walked right past it to the co-ed school where many of friends attended. In class, a very pretty girl sitting behind me made a drawing of the back of my head. I was so turned on by the idea that she paid enough attention to me to draw me that I almost transferred out of my school in order to go to the co-ed school instead. We had our share of troublemakers, but the trouble was usually limited to someone stealing one's expensive drafting pens. But there were no security guards or metal detectors in the schools in those days -- if anyone was ever violent or destructive they would have been thrown out in an instant. Some of the rules were inane and restrictive, but in retrospect, everyone felt very safe all the time and while you could get away for a while without learning anything, most people really were there to work and learn. The school also worked us to death. I worked much harder in high school than I ever did in college. So did I ever get in serious trouble in high school? No. But did I still think I was cool? Absolutely.  |  IP: Logged
