Oh I have to put myself in for this just for the title. Not heard of this one or the author so would also be something new.
Wow. Where do I start!? I was the PRESIDENT of my school’s Gay Straight Alliance, which lead to winning my county’s teen activism award. I was in marching, symphonic, and jazz band. I also played Dungeons and Dragons weekly, along with the card game Magic. I played Everquest, the precursor to World of Warcraft. How much nerdier can you get than that?

There aren’t really any high school clubs/societies in my country, so I spent my teens nerdily posting on message boards online and listening to The Smiths. Can I still enter though?
Thanks for making the giveaway international!

Um, ok, I’m not following because I can’ figure out how to do it!
Do you use a Google Reader or something similar to follow blogs?
I was involved in sports, but they were the uncool sports: track and cross country (most people in my school were unaware that we even had a cross country team.) I was also in gifted and talented, worked on the school news magazine, was in both regular honor society (oh how I hated that dorky blue sweater) and Spanish honor society, and was involved with our non-denominational flagpole prayer group.

In highschool I took French so was in the French club, I was also on the yearbook staff and worked in the school store.
I’m sure the world thinks us Aussies all surf during our lunch break but the reality is in 40deg heat and no aircon, we spent our school time creating BO in stuffy classrooms coming up with excuses for getting out of physical education.
There were plenty of things to do at our school but most it involved sport or performing arts and if you weren’t blessed with courage or coordination, then you were left with the year book. I couldn’t even get in the enormous chorus required for a School Eisteddfod – comp between all the schools that requires nearly every kid to participate ’cause under the illusion that bigger is better.
So thats what I did – the year book.
Oh and our school was pretty clicky so I collected outcasts. Any new kid was immediately a member of our group – which was pretty terrific – we were very multicultural.
Other than that and a brief infatuation with WHAM I was pretty boring.

hope you don’t take one entry away for WHAM!
Thanks for making it international!
Hey, there. This contest popped up in my Google reader, so I posted it at Win a Book. We post links to contests, author interviews, and guest blog posts written by authors … we’d love it if you’d send us links to any of these things you do in the future!
In high school I did Academic Decathalon, Shakespeare Competition and Chess Club…
Looks like a good book, please enter me into this drawing.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway.

I was in Spanish Club, Science Olypiad, Chess Club, Marching Band, and flirted with a couple other groups but never really participated. I was a geek…hahahaha

Was in the English Literature club and a religious group. No sports!!!! A bit of a nerdy type I think.

I think this book sounds great, and I would love a chance to win it!! I went to a very small school, but I did just about everything there was to do: I was on Varsity Volleyball and Varisty Track. I was in the National Honor Society, on the Yearbook staff, the school newspaper, student council, Class officer, Drama society, chorus and class valedictorian. I was both sporty and geeky!!
I do follow you on Twitter (that’s how I heard about this) and now I follow Frank Polito.
My cool and geeky activities in High School: Natl Honor Soc, Student Govt, German Club, Flag Corp with the Band, Spirit Club. I’m sure I’m forgetting something… I’m already following you on Twitter
and will go retweet it right now!
Ha, sometimes I wish I was still living in the ’80’s! Drama club for me though I stepped out of the limelight in grade 11 in favour of writing and directing the skits and plays instead.
I am a new follower as of earlier this morning and will post this giveaway here.
Thanks for the chance to win this one.

I thought I commented on this blog. Well doesn’t look like its here.
Anyway sorry if it’s duplicate.
I was in the school band and I played the flute and I was also in the debate team.
Geeky enough I feel
I have added your blog to my Google Reader and I am following both on Twitter now.
Thanks so much for the contest

I was involved with the Mission — sort of a young missionaries thing… hey, it was Catholic school!
I subscriber to your blog via Google reader!
Violet,
I meant to tweet you, because you DID comment, but for some reason, freakin’ wordpress is being a jerk about it and is dead set in not letting you win. Every time I approve your comment, it doesn’t show up. And then I go back to comments and it is unapproved again. But do not fear! I would have still counted it. Now I think I’ll just delete the first one, as clearly you have been clever enough to usurp the arrogance of wordpress.
Well, I was involved in the Literary Club in high school…but then again, I never considered it geeky!
