I was just thinking about this a few minutes ago and thought I'd post a thread on it to see what others on here were like at high school.
Me I was the only *** that had Iron Maiden type hair in a high school that had about 400 **** or so at it. This was from 1990 to 1994 where I then left high school (here in the UK you start high school at 12/13 depending on when your birthday falls on and leave when you are 16. So you can imagine the sort of snyde remarks I had to put up with but I ignored them. There was comments made to me like "hey you do know there is like five barbers in this town. get a hair cut ya hippy." and of course there was always the temptation to punch them in the face but I never did. I just ignored the clowns and stuck to my guns.
And ever since 1990 I have lived the Heavy Metal lifestyle. That's 21 years and counting. A diehard fan to the end, bitches!. Diehard... to the fucking end! :banger:
There was supposed to be a dress code at the school as well. And one time I came into school wearing Iron Maiden's "Fear of the Dark" t-shirt. The deputy headmaster saw me in the corridor with it on. And he said something like "J**** you do know that there is a dress code." I just said something like "Yes sir. But I was late in coming in today and never had time to prepare the clothes." and he was like "Well ok then. Don't make a habit of it. That's a nice design by the way even if it is a bit out of place here." I still think the picture for that t-shirt (which is also the album cover) is kick ass. It's easily in the top three Iron Maiden covers of all time IMO.
