I can empathize with lurkette. I grew up in a small community in S.W. Pennsylvania, with a graduating class of 83 students in 1980, if I remember correctly. Once you're labled a "dork" you have that label 'till the bitter end. I, however, *did* date the mousy little teacher's pet. She was horribly made fun of, but I found her attractive, she was smart and a lot of fun to be around, once she opened up. I hated HS, back in the day. Now, I look back and wonder "Why in the Hell did I *ever* give a shit about what those inbreds thought of me?"
I thought about going to my twenty year reunion back in 2000. Then I thought "Why would I travel 1200 miles (+/-) just to see a bunch of idiots that I didn't like when I lived there?" I had 3 or4 *good* friends then, 2 of which I still keep in touch with. I didn't go.
