What was I like? Quiet, very shy, a loner...boring! I would rather sit at the back of the class and draw pictures in my books...but I had to sit up the front, because I was so short-sighted and wore glasses. I got bullied because I was the only one with glasses back then. Art was my favourite subject, so I would often hide in the Art room during the breaks, to avoid people! I was hopeless at sports, because I was so unco-ordinated and had balance problems. The teachers thought I was lazy and didn't want to try. It took until my 30's to find out the cause of my balance and vision problems!)
I lived quite a sheltered life in a small country town, I knew nothing about drugs, and had never seen any or tried any, and never knew what they even were until I was an adult! lol I guess I haven't changed a lot over the years...I'm still quiet, shy, and boring! lol ~Jaime~

What was I in HS? A little bit of everything. Stoner, Brain, Skater, Punk, popular, nerd. No jock though. I was involved in the school yearbook, school paper. Partied like a rock star. Drank like a fish. Smoked lots of.......stuff. Was bored to death with HS. Just did not care for any of it. I had many different types of friends. Never really judged anyone...based my friendships on the person not what they were labeled as. After graduating (class of "88" rules) I just hung out and tried to figure out who I was and what I wanted. Worked a couple construction/manual labor jobs and decided there had to be an easier way to make a living. Joined the military @ 21, served in the Gulf War and Somalia aboard the USS America. Travelled throughout Europe, spent a couple years in London. Came home, started my career, met my wife, graduated from college. Life is good except for this damn SCA. We are dealing with it though...just another chapter. I guess I'd be labelled as a biker now....I spend a fair amount of free time riding, supporting veteran causes, a raising funds for various veteran charities.
