[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 5028876, member: 14197"] Wow, you described me to a T. I was a friend of nerds and cool people all through jr high and high school. Heck, the girl who won "prettiest girl" in high school was my good friend. She knew I played D&D, but also knew that I was a good hockey goaltender (even though I was only 5'3"), a guitarist in a band (we did 70's psychedelic mixed with early Red Hot Chili Peppers), and I played a bit of football, even though I was short (not undersized, I was always a stocky and strong kid). My GF was popular, but I played D&D at lunchtime because I could. I ran the A1-4 series back in 1980 for my buddies and though I was a RBDM, I was fair and we all kicked ass. I also beat up a known bully once in the middle of the quad because I stood there, got wacked multiple times, fell and rose several times and was clearly a loser, but in the end, I got in a good shot to the sternum and then the nose and balls and he dropped in the last seconds. It was like a bad 80's high-school movie montage, but I won. :) YAY for geeks!!! But I was know for being crazy, smart (all AP classes) and a hippie stoner freak. The last being my fault. I loved the 70s progressive music to much to care. Yep. Me neither, but it was a bit of a stigma to overcome. Note, I lived in Southern California, the heart of coolness at the time. [/QUOTE]
