I guess I was a geek/nerd in high school. I wasn't in band, never threw a party (I didn't even try alcohol until it was legal), and I certainly wasn't an athlete.
But I was in National Honor Society! (do they even have that anymore?)

They do, and I was in it!
And no partying at my house, at least not for me or my brothers. My folks, on the other hand, could and did throw quite the shindig.

I was in marching/concert band, NHS, Academic Decathlon/Spellbowl, and the prom committee  Never threw any parties in high school. Got drunk for the first time on NYE just before my 21st birthday (and BOY was I drunk). |

Another one in NHS. And, I was SO the geek/nerd in HS. I'm glad I made the "good girl" choices I did. It made my life pretty easy. But, I think I'm going to be in for one hell of a midlife crisis.

Thank GOD when I was in it, they didn't have the enforced servitude that they have now to belong. DS wouldn't join because of it. He was sick of being forced to "volunteer."

Used to be embarressed I was a geek, then I finally realized I couldn't do anything about it.

I missed it by one semester :-(. Got mono, missed a whole bunch of schools days and had a bad semester grade-wise. Still got into the university of my choice, though :-)

Speaking of high school geekdom - did anyone pay to have themselves put in one of those Who's Who books?
