I always dressed in 'alternative' dreggs... roll outta bed and into some clothes. but i was the girl you'd always see before classes started with my nose in a book curled up next to a locker near home room. Everyone knew me but i could never keep names and faces straight. People would cheat off me in class and wonder why they got B's. I'd sleep thru science and get A's. never did figure that one out myself. I hung with everyone when my face wasn't so far in a book i couldn't see where i was going. Prep's, jocks, rockers, industrial metal heads... dated them all and i'm still just me.

I was the guy that got picked on until I was a senior ( grade 12 ). I graduated from the same school district that I started kindergarten in. I grew up with the same kids. Once you get a stigma as being something, it stays with you. BUT !! when I was in the 11 grade, I went to the island of Malta for one year. When I returned, I was like the kid everyone wanted to know, but, sorry a**hole, I don't like you. I was a very talented trumpet player and a member of the Texas High School All State Band, which is quite an honor.
