The AH as a School Room

[Evil Alpaca]

lemme hold them for you while you run, your face is much to beautiful to mar it with bruises.


only trying to be helpful...HONEST

And if you believe that, let's discuss that bridge I have to sell . .

Not that I'm blamin' the lovely Vella. I'd make the same off m'self!



BTW, how far away is "a shot" anyway? Is that one of 'em funny foreign metric systems of measurement?

's!

Who would you be in the AH classroom?
--One of the class clowns, probably, as well as a slightly pedantic intellectual at times.

Is that the same person you really were in school?
--The intellectual, yes. The clown, not so much, though I did have my moments. I hated just about everyone I went to school with from junior high on, some for actively abusing me and the others for doing nothing about the ones who were abusing me.

I'm more reserved in person than I am on here. Normally I wouldn't be caught dead talking about sex in public.

School seems a million miles away....

But then, I was in Kindergarten in the early 60's. I just remember being very studious, extremely serious, the nerdy type. I was talented in areas which no one understood (in High School I was writing Symphonies!) So, think I was respected from afar, but very lonely. And if you read my stories closely, you will feel that sense of remote lonliness.
In the AH, I try to be very blunt, helpful, analytical, and ultimately a bit of a mystery. As I told Carson once "I contain multitudes."

Crap. I hate it when I drink so much I don't remember posting things. I was likely referring to snapshots at the time, Alpaca, but it's so hard to say for sure. I don't try to analyze my mind in that state anymore.

Doc, I owe you a real post now.

Aside from being typically self-concious, I was the girl who spent the better part of highschool in black baggy clothes with a real hate-on for life in general.

When I bothered to show up to class, it didn't take me long to get ejected back into the hallway for making some smart-assed comment in the middle of the teachers lectures. I think my proudest moment was actually achieving 3 c's on one of my report cards, and by 9th grade all my subjects were being taught through the "special" programs.

I didn't really get picked on at all because of the crowds I ran with (some of them were pretty scary), but I also failed to exsist in the eyes of many. I had 3 classes of friends, of which I never hung out with at the same time because they all hated each other: The Brainiacs, The Populars, and most frequently, The "Head Bangers." I smoked a lot of pot with the latter.

I never finished beyond grade 10 equivelency, because school just wasn't my "thing." That is a trait I carried through to my college years and still is with me today.

I think I'm pretty much the same person I was back then, only a little bit wiser and far more optimistic. Less people laugh at my bad jokes now, and I still maintain several different groups of friends despite my remaining preference of just wanting to be by myself.

I'd be the kid in the back corner furiously scribbling away on any blank surfaces available and giving blank stares when adressed by the teacher.
I did draw a lot in class, but I wish it would have been more. I wouldn' have to teach myself drawing now. Art classes were bullshit - "try to express yourself with collages!" instead of learning proper perspective and anatomy.

In Elementry school, I did okay, had trouble with some subjects and only got into trouble a couple of times. Once for lighting a match in my desk, gr3. And one other time, but Im not really sure what it was about.
I always tried to make my friends happy so they would stay my friends. This helped me right through school, there was always a group of three, and most times I felt as though I was the third person, always trying to stay 'in'.
I moved to a new school in gr8, that was a bit hard, I hung with the bad girls, this is where I was led astray. lol
I never really got into trouble there, my core teacher was male and I had 34C's in gr8- he must have been a boob man!

Highschool, ho hum student, and never really put much effort into school, I went and got it over with, could never really understand why kids skip, it only takes longer to get it over with.
I had a couple groups of girls I hung out with, and always ate lunch sitting on the floor at our lockers with my best bud, he was the secret 'gay guy', we all new it, he just hadnt come out until our 10 yr reunion. He was a great guy, love him to this day. If there was anyone I could honestly rely on it was him. Im only hoping he felt the same way about me.

Bringing back many many memories, specially after visiting my old highschool last week. (hoping my son chooses it to attend)

Hun, if you're looking to shine your shoes, maybe you ought to use some polish.

(I like you just fine, pissed on shoes or no.)

Shined shoes? Hah, not this cat! I have two pairs of boots. (One's for going to wedding, and they were shined at one time. When I bought them. The other pair is for daily wear, and I think they started out brown but are now some kind of tan color.) I have a pair of white sneakers for work, they get replaced when you can't tell what color they started out as. Other than that I wear Sandles, mocs. or go barefoot. (I hate shoes almost as much as I hate clothes.)

[SeaCat]

Hell, after that post...

I not only like you, I wish I was you!

Nah, you wouldn't want to be me, you would get confused trying to be Carson and me. (Besides, if you were me who would I be?)

Where were you when I'd have given anything to have another outsider at Hellsville Elementary School. I'd have let you cheat off my test papers. I'd have given you my lunch money.Yes, Hellsville could have used someone like you. An accidental high would have done the school a world of good.

Scofflaw! My big rebellion was being sent home from high school for refusing to participate in the Betty Crocker Homemaker Competition. My parents despaired. It was whispered that I might be a feminist.
And all this time, I just thought you had shiny shoes.

Shiny shoes? Nah, but maybe shiny feet.

I loved The Outsiders!

And I had the hugest crush on you until that whole cherry bomb thing...you know it wasn't just the cheerleaders in there...

In school, I would say I was polite and a good student but I very much lived inside my own head. I was 2-3 years younger than everyone else and the only Asian in my class (and at times in my school). Classes were simple and socially I pretended to understand what was happening around me, but I was mostly clueless.

I guess here, maybe, I would be the loopy one who tries too hard but is mostly harmless.

Luck to all,

Yui

You're so right Yui, it wasn't just the Cheerleaders in there. There were also a couple of Coaches.

Mostly harmless? No one who can inspire me to write a story is harmless.

I've read nearly four pages of testimony on this thread from various AH folks, and so far, with the possible exception of Impressive, everyone here claims to have been a: nerd, loner, loser, geek, bad ass, rebel with or w/o a cause, wall flower, ne-er do well, etc, etc, etc,.

Even the ones who admit to good grades and clean arrest records remember feeling on the outside, alienated, alone. Maybe these BMOC's we've heard so much about, the ones who enjoyed what Springstein called the "Glory Days," the popular over-achievers everyone likes to mock and claims to detest, maybe these are just figments of our writer's imagination.

It makes you wonder if at least some of this might not reflect a tendency noted in a psychology exercise in which campus leaders were asked to evaluate those above, below, and on their own level in campus organizations, and then to evalutae themselves. Without exception, these BMOC types rated themselves lower than did anyone else.

As for the original question; who would I be in the AH classroom? I'd be me, sui generis, Rumple Foreskin, or whatever other alias I might be using. Labels constrain and names change, but I'm the only me I've got.

Rumple Foreskin

 

[moonlight elf]

How would I be in the AH Classroom?

I'd be moonlight the elf who is shy but friendly. The one who always does homework, always looks out for her friends, always likes to make others smile, always wants to dance, and always love the moon.

I guess thats a part of me that I take no matter where I am or where I go.

Moonlight Elf,

Keeping that part of you, wherever you go, is a goodniess I hope you never lose.

Hm, I would be the quiet one in the far back. I'd sit there and listen, take notes and draw charicatures of the classmates or write poetry. Oh, and if you fall asleep it's harder for the teacher to notice you in the back...

I would also be the one who procrastinates studying until the night before exam. Outside of class I'd be swinging between quiet/calm and very social/outgoing.

Hm, I'd most likely be the girl-next-door, but with a perverted other side to me.

 

[hmmnmm]

Put off studying, homework, projects, pretty much everything until the last possible moment, sometimes until too late.
When riding the bus and it came to the railroad tracks I was always glad when the bus was delayed by a train, sometimes wished it would wreck without anybody getting hurt, anything to delay the inevitablility of trying to explain why I didn't have the assignment ready to turn in.
Where that applies to here I'm not sure, except it is probably the reverse. I look forward to stopping in and learning something - and I don't mind putting in the time to try and become at least somewhat passable when it comes to putting words together so they might makes some kind of sense, maybe even a story, or something.
And at least here, I can walk down the halls or sit in class with a hard-on and not feel embarrassed about it.
Of course my grades still ain't that great...

 

[Shadowskill Knight]

Me? What I'd be like I've no clue. Guess I'll just wait and find out.

I'm the guy who read the entire reading book in the first week and is in the back sifting through the book collection most grammar class classrooms have.

Moonie sweets,

I agree with Rumple. Never change that about you. It makes you the person that you are.

 

[fairysong]

In real life, I have always been the new kid. My parents never stayed in one place long and so I moved from one town to the next, one country to the next. As a result, I was shy, and didn't have many friends.


Here I'm no longer the newbie, here I've been welcomed and here I am not shy to express my self and here I have made friends. So, asides for that my personality is pretty much the same. Even my like for all things fairy is carried over from RL.

Well, your profile doesn't tell me much besides that you are a anime fan.

OMG...I just checked out your poem, you have the words "fairy song" in it. I know you don't I?

Fairy Lass think about Irish mythology and who you shared your favourite story with.
