I always had more in common with the geeks at our school; in truth, I wanted to be on the fencing team and hang out at the public library after school and share their obsession with things like James Bond and Lord of the Rings (before it was a little more cool). These were the people that first accepted me in a new school.<BR/><BR/>But alas, I turned away from them and towards "mainstream" friends. These were smart and talented, but a whole lot more boring. Yes, I survived high school with a lot less scars that the geeks, but I wish I had been strong enough to balance between the two groups.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516549.post-1158153300579964792006-09-13T08:15:00.000-05:002006-09-13T08:15:00.000-05:00It ended so abruptly. :(My favorite line was from...It ended so abruptly. :(<BR/><BR/>My favorite line was from the final episode when Daniel is playing Dungeons & Dragons with the geeks: "All right, fine, I'll be a dwarf, but I'm naming myself Carlos."<BR/><BR/>Superchikk, my parents seriously considered pulling me out of our school in 10th grade and homeschooling me, but I think they decided against it when I was more "for it" than they thought I'd be. If I hadn't had the social interaction of H.S., I probably would have just delved into a little hole and stayed there. Ironically, I became quite the extrovert in college.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230587926178759127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516549.post-1158105641242584932006-09-12T19:00:00.000-05:002006-09-12T19:00:00.000-05:00I SO loved that show and was heartbroken when it w...I SO loved that show and was heartbroken when it was cancelled. I too identified with Lindsay in her quest to find out where she fit. I homeschooled, so I wasn't "cool" enough to hang with the private school kids, was too "liberal" for the homeschool kids (because I wore shorts and cut my hair and said "crap"), and the public school kids just didn't care. Not to say that I didn't have any friends...it was just tough.Superchikkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11677663681761490238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516549.post-1158091014553516012006-09-12T14:56:00.000-05:002006-09-12T14:56:00.000-05:00i love love love this series!
