What didn't get mentioned in the posting (I'm considering it as a separate post) is that my two-week sentence always ended with our family's one or two week vacation at the beach. Mom always said she needed us out of the house for two weeks to pack for the trip, but even as a young kid I knew a line of horsehockey when I heard it.
Your military brat upbringing would have been very hard on me. Not fitting in is one thing, but not fitting in at a different school every two years would have been too much. At least at school we misfits found each other and were able to remain friends for years.
And, yeah, we survived.
"Popular" is still a word I don't associate with myself in general terms. I'm not sure I even want that any more. Give me a few good, close friends and my anonymity and I'll be happy.
