Suicide Girls column, another PFK announcement, and more!
admin | 2008/10/16 | 3 comments
- My latest Suicide Girls column is live! Remember, the column itself is SFW, the site as a whole is not.
There were several of us geeks in high school, several who saw those four years as long, arduous tests intended to cause so much trauma to us in order to prepare us for the rest of our lives. But as I make friends, many of whom tell me of their geeky status in high school, one question stands out to me.
What happened to all the popular kids?
- Remember when I asked you guys to help me find a genre for Heaven? Well, it exists. It’s called Bangsian Fantasy. (Thanks SFFAudio!)
- Playing For Keeps is now available formatted for your iTouch or iPhone! Check it out at the AppStore. Remember, you can also get it formatted for your Kindle.

Another really fun article to read…thanks Mur. It’s already got almost 40 comments so I think you hit a nerve.
Great article, I saw that coming in middle school so as a good Methodist I tested and scholarshiped to the local Catholic Girls only school. So there was no “prom queen” no “home coming queen and king” etc etc etc. Only 400 girls in blue and white uniforms and bobby socks and saddle shoes.
If there was a “cool” click I didn’t notice it. Got in with a group of 5 or so girls who were all also geeks.
It was better then the chaos that substituted for high school back from 1970 to 1974.

Don’t let them get u down. They don’t matter anyway!!!
Great article! I’ve noticed the disappearance of the popular kids among celebrities in particular. Every celebrity wants you to think that they were unpopular with bad skin and freaky hair in high school. Somehow I have trouble believing that someone like Jessica Alba was ignored.
I thought I was a geek in high school, but after running in the geeky online circles for a little while I realize that I am not a geek AT ALL. I wasn’t one of the popular kids, either; I was just there. The funny thing is that my five siblings were all popular kids, so I was a misfit in my own house. As a result, I’m surprised when people want to spend time with me.
