herringbonekid said:i was having a similar queasy feeling too (except in england it was 5-a-side football). i never got picked then either. it's funny how little changes. the popular extroverts group together. the outsiders pride themselves on being misunderstood and different. THANKS Marc for igniting this bit of bittersweet nostalgia. [huh]
where's my copy of 'catcher in the rye' ?
My nightmare was the school dance practice sessions during gym class. And then at the event. Miss Wallflower. Just awful! Didn't mind not getting picked for hockey teams though. All that running about in the cold and rain getting whacked with bits of wood. Brrrrr. So, I was a tad trepidatious about this thread too, but what the heck. Just fall back on the old adage:
Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, think I'll go and eat worms!
