Yep. We ought to start a club!
The "trendy" kids in my class are the ones that break rules, swear more than they should (I swear too, but they use dirtier language) and the ones who would rather spend $250 on a pair of jeans than $250 on 12 Palisades Muppets figures. Fools. Oh- and they all get bad grades. Strange.
The "outcasts" in my class (myself included) almost always eat lunch together, read a lot, listen primarily to '60s and '70s music and like the Muppets. Oh- and we all get GOOD grades. Not so strange.
