I have no friends eitherbut just like high school, I was friends with everyone. I went to a small school where everyone knew everyone else. I hung out with the NHS, chorus/musicals group. It was before Title IX so there weren't many jocks and I didn't think I had any athletic ability anyway. . Who would've thought that 35 years later I'm running, biking and swimming???

I started out in the popular, preppie group and morphed into the "intellectual, but not super brilliant" group of 5-6 girls who hung out in Harvard Square and were semi-stoners (i.e., we had good grades, but liked to party). There were no female jocks in the late sixties, early seventies. Then I moved to Florida. They were still wearing Villager dresses, carrying their Aingier purses. I was considered seriously radical. I refused to go to school, so I finished my last 2 years at a very small private school. I had friends, good ones, but it was never the same as when I lived in here.

OMG, I still have high school nightmares.
I was in the "smart but weird girl" group. I had very few friends until I joined the theater. Then I had a *few* more. UGH!
Thanks, Veronica. Back at ya.

so how do we find out what our "reputation" is?
And I like the quick reply box, but can we make it so that you can just type in the box, without clicking anything in any of the other posts? And can we include emoticons in the quick reply box?

I don't know what I was in high school, me? I knew the popular kids and we would talk in classes but we weren't friends. I was a newspaper editor, voted best female youth bowler in the state and in all the honor societies.
I didn't go to my 10 year this year. I don't talk to anyone from high school unless I run into them at the store. Whatever high school was I am happy to leave it back in the 90's!Amanda

The green/grey dots have been there all along, and they just indicate whether the person is online...

Wow, I think that my basic self hasn't changed at all since I was in HS. Perhaps I am a bit nicer??? I've never cared much what others think, but despite that, I was always popular, though as I matured, I separated myself from the silly, princess types and basically have been friends with anyone who had a common interest.
I thinking moving in HS and living in 3 different states has given me a different perspective than if I had just stayed in MA my whole life. Although, I have to say that I always felt different from most of the people I worked with in AZ; there definitely was a cultural thing that made me feel different. In the end, I ended up becoming friends mostly with others who had migrated from the northeast and were in the same stage of life. Then I decided that I wanted my kids to be brought up in an environment like the one I grew up in. So, I guess I eventually did turn into my mother!
Yeah, well that worked with one kid and worked not so well with the other.
