Who's That Girl?

I love reality tv shows, it's true, I'm not ashamed to admit it. It's also true that the more dumb the show is, the more sucked in I get. I've recently gotten sucked into a show on TV Land called "High School Reunion". It's about a bunch of classmates from Chandler, Arizona that reunite in Hawaii for their 20th class reunion. Some are there to hook up with former classmates, some are there to settle a fight from their past, and some are there to just be annoying. It's great and lame at the same time, but I love it. Every cast member has a label by their name so you know what they were like in high school. For example, there's "the jock", "the homecoming queen", "the wannabe", "the ugly duckling", "the player", "the class clown", etc. It made me start to wonder if I was on this show in 7 years, what would my title be? I thought about it for quite a while, and then sadly came up with "the nobody". Yep, that's me in a nutshell. One of those nameless faces that just blended into the crowd in those crowded Bingham halls. I had my group of friends that I had since elementary school, and I didn't care to branch out and make new friends. I wasn't in any clubs or activities. I was just me. Long hair, bushy eyebrows. I'll never forget my quote in the yearbook. The question was, "What's you biggest fear of graduation?" My answer, "not being able to have bangs with my graduation cap." That's as deep as it got for me. If I were to go back, there are a lot of things I would do differently. Thank goodness I don't HAVE to go back! Add a comment and tell me what your "label" would be, I'm interested to know if there are any more "nobody" types out there!

I would also be the "nobody" so don't feel bad. I don't! Hey have you seen the previews for the new season of The Hills? I can't wait! it looks good. Call me

I'm SO the nobody. I quit a year early and I don't think anyone even noticed I was gone. I never had a real group of friends, I just kinda floated around for a couple of years until I decided that I'd had enough. If we'd gone to the same school, you and I totally could have been buds.

It is not bad to not have a label. I was the "class clown", really, that was my title in our yearbook! Who wants to date the class clown!!!
I also am a reality Tv show junkie, but I dont watch this one.... probably because i never saw it on :)
Did you ever watch Flipping OUt on Bravo? I think you would love it!!

I would be a nobody too. And that's okay with me too. Next to my name they might put something like: "We're not actually sure if she really is a classmate because nobody remembers her."
