clothing is nothing..you could dress in pure black and hang out with pure preps and I owuld call you a prep. attitude descibes what you are in my opinion

I hang out with the people that I like. I steer clear of those who I don't. I can get along with just about anybody, but I am not "popular". I have friends who could be considered nerds, goths, preps, punks, drama kids, etc. I have friends who can't really be categorized. I think it's foolish to limit yourself to a single group of people to associate with. Everybody has some common ground. My best friend and I are at totally opposite ends of the political spectrum. You would not, in a million years, guess that we would get along. We wound up sitting next to each other on a bus one day, and got into a conversation, only to discover that we have very similar senses of humor. Because of that, we wound up hanging out more, and discovered all the other things we had in common. Only the two of us know how similar we are, despite being totally different from an outside perspective.

If I had never spoken to him simply because he was a goth (he was my first friend who was), it would have been my loss. I wouldn't have nearly as many friends as I have today, because I got to know many of them through him (none of them goth, he has the same mentality as I do).

I've never understood why anyone would feel the need to fit into a certain social group.

I agree with you. just because you are or aren't someting doesn't mean you cant be friends with people of other "groups" my best friend since second grade is a really big prep. dresses in pure abercrombie/aeropostale/hollister (and all those other stores i have sworn to never step foot in) he's on the wrestling team, hangs out with total preps and etc... if we chose not to hang out with each other just because we are "different" we would both be loosing alot because we both have a lot in common even though we act different. i have alot of friends which are preps and jocks. I cant stand alot of preps..but as i said, the ones that dont care how i like to be i dont care how they like to be...everyone has common grounds. just because your goth doesn't mean you cant be friends with preps...its just the way you are

I am the gothic odd man out (as mentioned above) but out of my friends there is the preppie who wears polo shirst to the gym, the jock, the pshychopathic short guy and the trek-nerd.

Since there wasn't a category for old, bald, fat, ugly, geeky, computer/electronics nerd, dorky, theologian, I selected odd-man-out.

I though Franks was shut down because of a problem on their "reopening" [cut]

I'm not sure, I havent had time to go out there in a while. Was this when they were over by sears? Last I knew - it has been a few months, but they have a new location that is larger by pennys. I even helped clean it up before it was offically opened.

What about when you buy paintball guns, take them apart, make a newer better gun and GIVE IT AWAY?! (I don't think you have really sold a gun)

Well, I have sold a few of my markers, but not many, comparatively speaking. would that (taking them apart and making them better) fall under the geek category?

I put mix.

If you were to judge me by my musical taste, you'd call my a goth. I listen to a lot of Import Heavy-Metal, and very little else. Angry music is good.

If you were to judge me by my clothing, you'd most likely call me a prep. I wear jeans, cargo-pants, and button-up shirts.

Then, if you looked at my personality, you'd call me a looser/dork. I'm pretty anti-social, and spend a lot of time on my computer either gaming or on AO, etc..

Computers, paintball and photography are what drains out my Checking account.

actually it's behind JC Penny's which is why they poponed the reopening. JCP didn't want the noise coming through the wall while customers were there, so they couldn't start the concert till 9 pm. I mean the stage is on the backside of the JCP store. Then back in august they had the grand reopening. And they were closed the next day cause the firemarshal shut them down. I work with Josh Dobie who works for franks as a side job and he didn't really know the details either last time I talked to him, but that was the night after. It really sucks though, alot of good band have already made their rounds in the midwest and we missed out

PS i'm a good source to unload used paintguns

Oh, And I love wearing Pink (Cudja guess )

[BareBack]

I'm a mongrel - little bit of this, little bit of that.

[dropkick1]

You forgot the "frat-guy", which is sorta a jock-prep mixed with beer.

I was a jock-prep-dork all though high school, which meant I got along with pretty much everyone. I played sports, but I also was in honors classes and played D&D back then, so I got along with the dorks too.

Then when I went to college, I dropped the D&D, associated with less dorks (by chance more than by choice), and added beer into the mix :)

I don't have a "style" though. I'm too tall to wear abercrombie stuff, though. They make their stuff for midgets. It sucks because they make really nice sweaters that I can't wear because they are too short, and they cut off circulation to my brain because the necks are so small.

But I do have a lot of stuff from AE and Structure, and Old Navy since its cheap :)

I don't like being classified though. It's too limiting. When you classify yourself as A, it might mean you discount the possibility of getting to know someone else who is "B". I'd rather be my own person, and not what someone tells me I should be, and get along with as many people as possible.

Yep, me too. Cept I wasn't into D&D. Right now I'm prep/boarder/jock type of thing.

My girlfriend is the prepy, band geek thing and she always tells me im a jock. I dont understand honestly, yes im obsesed with sports, i played football, and wrestled and lifted seven days a week during the off season but....does that make me a jock? i dress in baggy jeans, Paco, and some other brand name no one has heard of but they are cheap and comfortable, i always wear a t shirt and a pair of vans, i guess i dress like a skater...... but i dont skate... i dont own a coat, all i wear is a hoodie, my favorite is my Vans Hoodie. I listen to linkin park, limp bizkit, korn, stained, disturbed? IM CONFUSED WTF AM I??
