re: #500 FemNaziBitch

I’m a rebel

I got “The Jock”, which is funny, because until I was a Junior in High School I was as close to a nered as you could get in that school. I was a shrimpy little kid who got picked on, who read Tolkien and learned how to write in runes, I had long hair when it was a bully-able offense, and I got good grades.

Then I hit my growth spurt. I went from being the second-shortest guy in the class in 8th grade to being 5’10” by the end of 10th grade. I decided to use my newly acquired size to go out for football, though I was never any good at it. They still saw me as a nerd - the coaches used to call me ‘George Plimpton’, figuring I was just doing this so I’d have something to write about.

But I was a BIG nerd, and no longer subject to bullying.
