I was a pretty good kid in school too. Minus the getting pregnant at 16, but ya know. I couldn’t be too perfect.

I am soooooo resonating right now. Ah, the good ole days! I don’t regret any of our geekiness, and I’m glad you’ve seen the light And, I really miss the dollar theater.

Bologna…there IS a plus to prison! I was pretty good in high school and then let a little too loose in college, I had to reel myself back in before I got myself into big trouble. All in all, it makes for some great stories.

I love this post! I think it’s so much better to start going wild later in life. at least then there’s a little maturity to go with it. and look how good you turned out! I might have to encourage my son to join the band!

oh my-I was a band geek too! From 6th grade through my junior year. I lost interest, and it was all downhill from there, for awhile anyway! I was pretty square too, so don’t feel bad.

I was in Marching Band, too. I didn’t like it. I hated how into it people got. I was so glad when I realized the world wouldn’t stop revolving if I moved while at attention.

No way, a geek? You mean not even … “once, once when you were in band camp?”

Holy Crap! I have way more to say than would be appropriate here, but you better believe I can relate. I wasn’t allowed to be in band (mother was horrified by this “you won’t be popular” Gee, no pressure there). I wasn’t allowed to do anything other than work basically. I ended up graduating early and moved out when I was 18. It was at that point I began to see the light, moved to Lake Tahoe and partied like a rock star until I moved to Seattle where I partied like a stoner. For years. Now? I prefer to couch camp and blog.

I had a boss that was a band nerd at OU during the great Switzer years. Being in band was the next best thing to actually playing. You got to go to all the games, and the bowl games, which for them was every year.

You revealed a lot in that post, deep issues that we all face during life, love, acceptance, rejection and WTF, crap we all face for one reason or another.

I see it hasnt caused you to get bent out of permanent shape, well except the binge drinking LOL.
