::DIES:: okay, dude, I only got contact lenses and makeup when I headed into college. I was flatter then than I was now, breaking out like whoa, hair either an unmanageable oil slick or dry and snarly, and my teeth were in a horrible overbitten mess (when they first put in the wires, the wire went in zigzags). I went to one of those magnet HS, but even there I was one of those loners who sat alone in the library for lunch; my first friend there was also a loner who sat in the library.
I was a cute kid, but I wasn't girly. Therefore: "omg ur gey!"
I guess it's a YMMV situation whether the girls or guys hit you hardest; there were a few asshole boys who were annoying, but the girls were like this flock of bonepicking piranha-starling things. Ngh.
Mind, that was elementary school. In high school I decided I wasn't going to take this crap anymore, and evilly made sure that anyone who hassled me did so in view of a teacher who WOULD do something.
Just picking on your typo, Perma. But yeah, this makes me go over the god-why-couldn't-I-have-gotten-my-act-together-then problem.
Not that I'm totally with-it now, lookswise. You can't really do much of anything when you even don't fill an A *pushup* bra. >_>;; And I don't even have the excuse of being Asian and it "supposed" to be like that! >_<
Anyways, thanks for linking the thread. It's making me grateful for my HS, bad as it was in its ways, overall--I lucked out BIGTIME. ::praises your and my HSs equally::
The first half (sheer quantity) makes me think too, but this bit about location is a true Permaism. I'd've never thought to organize people that way. maybe certain areas are really bad? I wonder what the people on ferret's journal would say.
::shrug:: Totally OT question/confirmation of suspicions: With so. freaking. many. of us following you, I'm safe in assuming that if I post anything I want you to see, I would have to explicitly point it out to you; in other words, that you don't follow my journal. Correct?
esp lately, yeah. midterms and papers and transferring of colleges/majors and the boy and mind gone up in warg.
the links I've been posting are actually a couple months old. ::wry grin:: but if you comment, I tend to remember and go read the journals if I don't remember your latest post...speaking of which...
::grinz:: Well that's fortunate, because my most recent post is the one i was going to ask you to go visit, at any rate. I want the Perma treatment! ::is bricked:: XD

trust me, it wasn't the 'pretty' factor.

It makes me wonder tho, how many people *do* end up with a decent HS experience (alls considered) and, perhaps, where they are geographically...

::giggles and grins and bows::
I went ahead and commented regarding that, so I guess we'll see if there's any response.
