What box do you get put in?

Hey, that's actually kind of true. And I do like classical music.

When I think about it, it's totally true. I never fit into any one group. I always had friends from lots of different groups, as well. It would wig people out, sometimes. Like, in middle school, I remember some of the "preppy" kids I was friendly with, always being like "Why are you friends with her?" referring to my friend Emily, who wasn't really in any one "group" herself, but wore black makeup around her eyes and enjoyed scowling at assholes. She was a lovely person, but I guess people thought she was a "freak." Whatever. Then, when I went to ACHS, everyone was all "Oh my God, why??? Freaks go there, Rachael!"

But, going the other direction, I didn't fit in with the "alternative" kids either. I mean, I fit in very easily at my High School, but I still always had to deal with people having pre-conceived notions of me, from those types of kids. My best friend Kim, would go around with her many piercings, and multi-colored hair, and I'd be with her, with my own little "Rachael look" as she called it. Heh. And, when she'd introduce me to her friends, they'd always trip over me. I guess they looked at me, and expected something different than what they got. I remember one guy in particular telling me I was a prep. Most of her friends and I got along very well, but they'd always be like "I thought you'd be a snob, when I first met you."

But, beyond even what kind of friends I have, personally, I really just don't fit in anywhere. I like nice clothes, but I could care less what other people wear. I was never some hard-core punk, but I'm definitely too much of a geeky smart-pants weirdo to be a very good prep. I remember talking about this sort of thing with Kim, after her friend said I was preppy. I asked her "So what am I, then? Do you think I'm a prep?" and she was like "No. You're. . .I don't know what you are. You aren't anything. You're Rachael. That's a group all its own." Hee. I like that. I hate the whole idea of forcing people to be in a box. I'm proud actually of the fact that I can't be boxed in by people, and that people who look at me and think they won't like me, end up often being good friends with me.
