I'll add to that, too. In high school I was aware of crowds and cliques, but I didn't join in with it. I ignored it and painted pictures all day, that was what I wanted to do anyway. When people liked it, awesome, when they didn't, awesome. I liked what I did and I didn't care what crowd anyone was from.
As a result, everyone just called me the 'art kid' and I wasn't lumped in with anyone -- everyone talked to me 'cause I would talk to everyone else. Break out of the cliquey mold stuff, Ibram -- become your own clique. BE THE RULING BODY OF YOURSELF AND ET CETERA
TOO MUCH COFFEE
AUGH
