Ahoy matey.
Yea...nothing really to add to this conversation. Those tails look like a safety hazard, I hope that one kid gets in trouble for that dog-skull, and I STILL say that the 80's trends were more annoying.
YEE HARN HAR HAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I BE DE CAPTAIN O` ME SHIP, DE LADDIEHOO!!! AND YE BE WELCOME ABOARD ME BOAT IF YE BE SO INCLINED
(yes, I live in the Crystal Coast region of North Carolina, I live on the shore, my family has some boats, and Im going to paint "THE LADDIEHOO" on the side of one someday when nobodies looking, join me someday. It will be funn )
Any who....
See, I had fun in high school because I was an anomaly. I got along very well with just about any group. I find it funny that to most kids in high school, individuality involves dressing just like some cliche does. Is a prerequisite of being a "werewolf" having a chain/leash hanging from some part of your clothes or person? dressing in mostly black and changing your "name" to something that sounds canine?
It applies to any "cliche", preps need to dress rich, jocks need to perform in a sport well. Emos need to dye there hair black and be "sensitive". Face it, they dont want to be individual, they want attention
I wasnt really part of any one group. I dressed however I damn well pleased (usually just jeans or cargo khakis and a t-shirt or a polo, or nice button up if i felt snazzy)played on the football team, hung out with the "theatre nerds", the "preps", I got good grades and was on good terms with the school faculty etc etc. I dont think individuality had anything to do with style or what you do or how you act all the time. Its in the little moments. I played football because I enjoyed it. I hung out with the "losers" because A) most were game nerds and I could let my little inner geek out and B) cuz I felt sorry for them, I didnt want to be the guy who just walked by. I performed in theatre because I LOVED IT! Point is(and I know I walk a close line to being guilty of this when I say it)if you try to define you own "Individuality" as something that can be put out in a sentence, your failing.
