I didn't do sports. Tried out for cheerleading once, cuz my best friend wanted to. Otherwise, I wouldn't have even tried out at all. Well needless to say, I didn't make it, cuz my gpa was like .5 lower than it shoulda been, to get in.
But I did take part in other activities like clubs. The Writer's club, and something called 30 days of fitness. ( My spanish teacher was in charge of that, & she asked me to join)

Football (Briefly)
Bowling from 9th till 12th
I love bowling All Varsity Team in 11th and 12th grade
I wrestled a bit. High school was a little different when i went in the mid 70's....there were race riots on a monthly bases, so i kept pretty much to myself.
Thank Zod we've gotten past a lot of that shit.

I did loads of sports at school - soccer, swimming, basketball - but I only represented my school at rugby. Sadly there was a teachers dispute so all outside of school activities got stopped.
Shame, cos I loved running around foggy rock hard frozen pitches and diving face down into pools of ice. It's character building.

That reminds me of a little high school story. In the morning, when everyone got off the bus & waited outside, I'd light up a cig right there in front of the school. But only when it was so cold, ya could see your breath. Everyone would look, but I knew I wouldn't get narced on. I'd just put it behind me if a teacher ever passed by.

I played every sport imaginable growing up. But once I hit High School I only played baseball..oh and intramural co-ed softball. I didnt hang out with any of other bb players in general I had my own click it was the most motley crew you have ever seen. A couple of geeks and couple stoners mix in some preps and a black crack dealer and that was us.

I was lazy at high school..
Had every excuse possible when it came to P.E..
when we did the road run thing..
me n my mates walked it..
Even swimming...hated it ..
but then the principal threatened to punish the whole area if i never pulled
my weight...
I didnt fancy having 300 or so odd enemies..so the next road run we had..
i walked faster and i swam more.
I was at an all girls school ...

Hahaha yeh I remember stuff like that too. I was having a smoke by one of the classrooms and a teacher walked passed and I managed to hide it in my pocket (holding it in my hand) while the teacher walked past me. Quick thinkin I thought, lucky I didn't set my pants on fire!

HAHA You ever get busted before?
I only got busted twice. The 1st time I got let off by a warning ( & on an unrelated note the gaurd that caught me, was a gaurd at the school when my mom went & that guy's married to someone that was in the same year of school as me) & well the 2nd time I got busted, I spent a week in I.s.s, but got early for good behavier. Other than those 2 times, I was more creative when sneaking a smoke at school. Once though I had to smoke in the bathroom, & meanwhile in my head I was singing " smoking in the girls room"

LOL yea running does suck. Unless I'm being chased by a humungous ugly monster, I see no need in it. In weight training class, the coach had us run around the track 1 day. I didn't even make it halfway around, before I went to coach & told him I had asthma. ( I made that up, so he'd let me walk)

Some ppl are athletes because they have talent.
Some are just in it because they have fathers who need them to be what they never could.
Some ppl are because it's a one way ticket to popularity.
There are many many reasons for getting into sports,and not all,actually most of them are not because they are meatheads or whatever else some of you call them or think of them.
I had talent and could have gone on to some seriously good schools but blew it with an injury.
Austin had,has talent and almost blew it with an injury but now looks like he has another shot.(at least that's what I gathered from your posts,I hope Austin:) )
If you want to trivialize something...go bother drug dealers and rapist and killers etc.etc.
Not starting an argument here,just wanting some you guys to see another point of view:)

Some really crazy bands playin' whatever came out blasting out total aural freedom.... it was a play what you feel kinda era no one was scared to pick up a guitar, bash a drum or scream some shit! Met a lady who broke my heart but now is a best friend and is like a sister.
Hahaha I'm drunk n pining over the past. Things were easier in the High School days I guess.... then responsibility crashes the party and confiscates the stash!

I went to a private school until 9th grade that was completely ran on basketball. That was and still is the only thing that keeps that tiny school running...I think I played for half a season in 5th grade and hated it, but there was a softball team I joined and actually enjoyed playing that, I even played with my moms work team for a while. I never took anything seriously with the softball, it was just fun and good exercise...I still like to play every once in a while. When I was about 12 I got really into photography, so when highschool came around I enrolled in a visual and performing arts school, and took photography as my major. I enjoyed everything about it...we even got to work in darkrooms, I hear they've taken that bit out of most highschool photography classes now and THAT is unfortunate. I was pretty good then, even got a few pictures in locally printed calendars.
Anyways, photography is what I did in highschool and had life not gotten completley fucked when I was 16, I would have probably gotten a full scholarship to just about any photography school I wanted. It sucks, but I'm trying to work on that now.

Well let me think.......
I was in 10th grade when I 1st heard Cowboys from hell & fell in love with Pantera. Then there was White Zombie, Megadeth, Metallica, ( cuz they didn't suck yet) Tool, Alice In Chains. I can't think of any other genres. Oh yea Curt Cobain was one too. :rolleyes: ( there was even a guy I went to school with, who's nickname was Curt, cuz he looked so much like Cobain it was almost freaky.
