Ah Ash is it not fun to discuss cultural differences. . . We must try and think of some more gestures/expressions that are different in the UK from the US or if you guys have any questions I reckon it would be fun for us to try and answer them, no? And vice-versa, of course Haha, Ash to Ashes - most amusing. Especially as I just finished watching the series finale of Ashes to Ashes on TV a few hours ago . . . But then I have a funny feeling that might just be me. In regard to your question almost exclusively the quick reply box unless I'm using smillies I'm unfamiliar with but I find the basic ones are easy enought to remember e.g. ;D And my personla favourite-

I don't know how to do that last one and I'm too lazy to learn. But yeah, that would make for a good discussion. I'll answer any questions.

What are the typical high-school 'cliques' or whatever they're called? Is it like in the movies?

Cliques? Well... it depends on the movie. Um, for there ARE for sure different groups that will associate with some and ignore others.
Like for example, in my grade, there are 4 core "cliques" that I can name. There are the Jocks, the Preps, the Goths, and the Geeks. Those are the core groups, and some sub-cliques from one of the core four groups will branch over to another. (I actually drew a chart for this once, which made it LOADS easier to explain, but I'll try to do it verbally as best I can.)
These are the groups in my high-school alone.
CORE GROUP 1: GOTH ----------------------------
There are 3 sub-cliques of "Goth". Mock-goths, True-goths and Punks.
There are also sub-sub-cliques of each sub-clique.
Sub-sub-cliques of Mock-goths: "Smart-goths, newage-goths, good musicain-goths, people who pretend to be British and are good at it, theatre junkies, bright decoy-goths, and dim decoy-goths".
Sub-sub-cliques of True-goths: "Vampire-goths, emogoths, angry-goths (sometimes called dark-punks), and bad musicain-goths".
Sub-sub-cliques of Punks: "Wannabe punk-rockers, actual punk-rockers, skate punks, anarchists, abused youth with anger issues" (insubordanists)
CORE GROUP 2: PREP ---------------------------- There are 2 sub-cliques of preps. "Smart-preps and Dumb-preps"
Sub-sub-cliques for Smart Preps: "Queen bee, (also known as "bitch", "slut", "bed-jumper" and "whore") Best-friend type A, Pleaser type A, People who pretend to be British and suck at it, Good Crossover Preps, Plauge Crossover Preps, and Smart athlete prep. (see CORE GROUP JOCK.)"
Sub-sub cliques for Dumb Preps: "Best friend type B, Pleaser type B, Dumb athlete prep, cheerleader, deserving victims, and innocent victims".
CORE GROUP 3: JOCK ------------------------------
There are 2 sub-cliques of JOCK. "Athlete and Jock"
Sub-sub-cliques of Athlete: "Overacheivers, intellegent athletes, smart athlete preps (includes Volleyball players, softball players and girl's basketball players) track-stars, golfers (see "unmasculine athletes" in CORE GROUP GEEK), glory-boys, son of the slim coach, and joggers".
Sub-sub-cliques of Jock: "Football players (American football, mind you), Basketball players, Baseball players, dumb jocks, son of the fat coach, and the porno-jock".
CORE GROUP 4, GEEK --------------------------- There are 3 sub-cliques of GEEK, "Smart Geeks, PBs (parent's basement), and RLs (real life)
(I'll finish this later. My parents are forcing me to get offline.)

sub-sub-cliques of Smart Geek: "Band Geek, Theatre Junkie, Speech Junkie, MathTeam Junkie, Intellectual, and Computer Nerd". sub-sub-cliques of PBs: "Video Game Addicts (applies to online games as well), Myspace Addicts (can be applied to any webpage), D&D Junkies/RPG Junkies, Momma's boys, and the mentaly chalenged kids". sub-sub-cliques of RLs: Debate Club Kids, Always-prepared-for-everything geeks, Young Republicans, Student Counsel members Type A, Future Pastors of America, Chess Geeks, and Science Geeks". I can give you a breif description of each clique, sub-clique and sub-sub-clique, but that would take too damn long. So if you're curious about any particular clique, just ask me. In short..... yes. We do have cliques. Not quite like the movies, but not far off either.

Wow. That's a really good summary. Hmmmm, I'm probably a mix of a couple of the geek ones, for sure. Might have a bit of goth in me too, lol. Where would you place yourself?

I'm a Geek-Goth mix. I do all the "smart geek" stuff except computer nerd, and everything in "mock-goth" except dim decoy goth. Meaning, I dress like a goth, but I'm not at all emo or angry with the world, and I do alot of extra non-athletic activities. It would beinteresting to see what the other guildians place on this thing. I know eb would have some PB qualities in him.
