I was a hybrid. I'm by nature a geek, in terms of not hiding the fact that I'm interested in anything related to science, physics, engineering, etc. Yet I was a tolerable class clown. Meaning I'd crack jokes in class, but at appropriate times, and not to excess as to be disruptive; so even the teachers would laugh. I was also a musician, love Metal, and wore my leather jacket and spikes to school with pride.
I was one of the few of my metal crowd that still had the respect of my preppie and jock classmates. The irony is, I've only goten into one brawl with a jock during HS, the rest were within my own circle.
