Me signing up for nubblies.
Wintergrey was my original name. Soon afterwards nubblies' first scandal made it pertinent that I change my name..... Pliedes is taken from an RHCP song ("comin' from the space to teach you of the Pleiades", a constellation), though in my youthful bliss I guessed the spelling, and guessed wrong. Funny how that works out.
I remember signing up in waldeck's computer class (lots of us future nubblites had that together) but my favorite memory is of the name change. Once the 'hottest girl at wchs' thread opened the floodgates, all of a sudden our private little forum where we could openly discuss anything turned into page one of the high school gossip page. (lol, i just thought about austin being the original gossip girl!) Anyway, people were talking, shit was getting out of hand.
It just so happens that this was group picture day for honor roll, or something like that. When I arrived at the tiger den for the photo everyone was just milling about. I found gaz, who was with antram and hammerdicks... we met up with some other early members and having an impromptu powwow where gaz ultimately concluded he could setup a special thread that allows members to change their name once. wintergrey => pliedes and johnnyrichter => 50cent, along with some others. The humorous part to this story comes with the photo. Somewhere at wchs is a photo of these early nubblites surrounded by a group of their peers...who are we, you ask? The ones looking excitedly up and to the right, as if superman was flying through the gym. Pointing fingers we also got lots of other people to do it, for no reason other than to fuck the picture up. All the squares are smiling straight ahead, and then there is that section of assholes gasping at the invisible car wreck off stage right. Fun times.
Secret meetings, elite societies, vengeance, romance, intrigue, clandestine plotting-- aah, nubblies and high school!
