During your High School career, what would you class yourself as?

I hung out with everyone, and didn't have any specific group that didn't know who I was or disliked me. Or at least, they never showed it. The "Mean Girls" may have made fun of me behind my back without me knowing, it is quite possible.

I played on the high school sports teams (hockey, volleyball, badminton), I was in the school's production of Grease, I was part of the scholastic trivia team, and I was on the Prom Committee, even though I didn't go to prom.

So, all in all, I was a Social Butterfly. Or at least, that is what I think I was.

Chameleon. Did a bit of everything. Teacher's pet, college classes, cheerleading, gymnastics, choir,, band, drama club, future nurses club, "as schools match wits" team member, state scholar, community volunteer, and I owned a successful traveling business: before operation child ID, I drew cartoon animals around the fingerprints of little folk up and down the east coast; marketed as "if something happens, you'll at least have fingerprints." (Stone Age forensics) profit, $100 a day. It's sound grandiose, but I really did do everything. At 9, I was enrolled in a NASA track program (there went my summers.) No one was interesting in dating the smart tiny girl so no dating life but I was a tomboy and read about a book a day on everything which came in very handy when trying to hang with the good ole boys (the Vietnam era) later in life. Oh, and a couple of TBIs and I lost everything which meant I had to relearn everything, including walking and using my hands, speaking, and basic core life skills. It's been long fight back.

I was definitely a nerd in High School. Here's an unflattering of me on the H.S. Bowling Team.

I was a Party Animal!!! Montana didn't have enough Beer for me! It was the 70s and living in a Small town in Montana! Hair down to my A$$ but still Rednecky, Fished all summer long and the school year was good for us Ranch Kids!! Mostly off for a couple weeks in March for the brunt of Calving Season, Lived a life of seeking thrills! Hmm Maybe thats why I became a Paratrooper! Kind of a Jock, played Football all four years. But the Party on friday is what myself and my circle of friends looked so forward to!

I remember on senior skip day, we filled crab cages with Old Milwaukee (it was on sale) and tossed the cages in the cold lake to keep it cool. It was the redneck's idea and a great one.
