Melancholy Mysterious Marsupials?<BR/><BR/>All: I'm not sure that I agree with that article completely, for I don't quite fit either one of those roles.<BR/><BR/>Sure, I was never into sports in school but I lifted weights and I could hold my own and I kept up with personal hygiene. I never played chess or wore a pocket protector. And my two best friends were big, beefy, sports-loving guys who were both quite smart. <BR/><BR/>There are some things that I am liberal about, and some things that I am conservative about. <BR/><BR/>I spent today in an art museum. Tomorrow I might go see the Simpsons Movie. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes I can be loud and guffawy, too; other times quiet and somewhat shy.Eastcoastdwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140530743668908554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5875136140537336379.post-58125328188452388032007-08-10T22:44:00.000-04:002007-08-10T22:44:00.000-04:00While I was in advanced and AP classes in high sch...While I was in advanced and AP classes in high school, I did not fit with the nerds...too course, too rebellious. Too academic to fit with the jocks, and I wasn't athletic then. I am grateful that those labels no longer apply. I can be athletic, intelligent, base and refined as it suits me, and be loved just the same. My politics, likewise, depends on the issue. Though I must say, while I might let a swear word slip, it would never occur to me to tell an off color joke in a new professional environment which could embarrass the person who brought me in.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08854080140004540619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5875136140537336379.post-24551447947843932052007-08-10T17:43:00.000-04:002007-08-10T17:43:00.000-04:00I really wish that intelligence was not associated...I really wish that intelligence was not associated with nerdiness. <BR/><BR/>Stereotypes drive me crazy.<BR/><BR/>However... there may be something to it... it isn't without some kind of base.<BR/><BR/>Scarlett & ViaggiatoreWanderlust Scarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551514192060606454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5875136140537336379.post-57738825704062484782007-08-10T15:52:00.000-04:002007-08-10T15:52:00.000-04:00BTW, I was afraid of this!Are you trying to get th...BTW, I was afraid of this!Are you trying to get the whole school tittering behind my back with the MMM?
