In high school you were...? (house, metal, Metalhead, quote)

In school i was the kid everyone made fun of. till i moved across the country for my senior year. Then it was like in "The New Guy" everyone assumed i was cool or something but i was really awkward and didn't trust anyone. So i just sat in the hall and played guitar between classes. Random people would sit and watch me for different amounts of time. i gathered a weird group of friends from every Cliche.

If I see a kid at school with a guitar I automatically assume he's a douche.

I assume your school doesn't have a guitar class?

My school has a 'strings' class or something - which is basically guitar class. You are allowed to bring in/rent a violin or whatever, but it is basically guitar lessons in school, and you need to take music theory 1 as a prerequisite.

So you were counting people who take that class as douches?

This is actually a good assumption from my experience. Those people try so hard to show off. The worst are the ones at college that sit under the tree in high foot traffic areas and stumble around on their acoustic trying to play Jack Johnson. Fuck them.

It's even worse when you have to walk 5 miles to your friends house with a guitar on your back... not having a car sucks.

Haha.

I know exactly what you mean. I used to laugh at this oblivious fuck who would play a 4/4 C progression for about six hours straight in the sunlight near the commons. Some idiot came down and tried to duet a sax with him once, he sucked just as bad.

1: I am a douch, but i'm ok with that
2: I didn't play the standard 4/4 G/C and sometimes D progression, usually i was practicing scales or trying different chordal structure
3: i would avoid people and try to find obscure places but it turnes out i had a small school and sound travels,
