I never really did much. I went to a private school for elementary and junior high. We had uniforms and other things were fairly restricted. Our only way to personalize ourselves with the uniforms was with our shoes, so we all had some pretty weird shoes. I stopped doing that around 7th grade though.

I was always comfortable with myself and never tried to fit in or follow trends. Looking back, I should've made a slight effort to be a bit trendier.

Gah, I'm guilty of all these things:

Tight-rolled pants (or was it pegged? I don't know which to call it)
Rat-tail
Flannel-shirts tied around the waist
Metallica t-shirts from concerts I've never attended
Head-banged to Bon Jovi
White-suspenders / loafers with no socks (in the Miami Vice days)
Blue Jean jacket with tons of patches and penned-in drawings
Parted hair with the strip of spikes along the part.

I was a disaster. I still am, but now I just don't care. ;)

I used to want a rat-tail but thankfully my mom wasn't down with it. Thanks mom!

Had a rat tail and then long hair back in 5th grade, long hair through 10th grade.

Shave it off now :(

Gamewise, I played D&D and was a BBS addict(Trade Wars, L.O.R.D. and Roids)

1. Spiked hair, probably 3-4" tall.
2. Rolled my jeans up pretty high. I was even dubbed "King Cuffs"!!! :D We're talking 5-6" of rolling...
3. Zubaz! They were pretty comfy, but just WTF at the coloring schemes...
4. Hyper-color t-shirts. They were very bad-ass, but I was a big kid, so I was always pretty warm. Thus, my shirts were still only one color! Haha! :)

hell no.
although I can't say I'm much better: played Pokemon when it was new, which was 4th and 5th grade. Grew up just enough to get over that one.
The gameboy games were pretty fun though. :eek: :laugh:
