Underage Straddlers (in lieu of an inevitably more creative name) 12 years, 4 months ago
I think I’m technically underage, I study boring nerdy subjects at AS (which are kind of like AP-Exams according to the internet). I like music a lot, and I enjoy books that contain 80% pictures.

So schoolwork is killing my soul but I am happy to announce I am wearing boyshorts (usual) and no bra today (unusual) and feel very gay. On that note, hello everyone :)

Since this maybe relevant. Yey AP Exams!!!
-
OH MY GOD THIS IS SO RELEVANT. I. AM. FREAKING. OUT.
-
well, i’m only a sophomore, so i don’t have any AP classes yet. :P
-
-
Just finished US History! IT’S FINALLY OVER. Two down, one to go!
-
3 APs! are you a junior? which classes? I’m only taking 2 next year,since i’ll be overloaded with SATs and ECs.
-
Yeah, I’m a Junior. Three was probably a bad idea, but I’m almost done, so YAY! I took spanish language, english language, and u.s. history.
-
i took apush this year, too! my bio one tomorrow will be the last that i ever take… in fact, i should probably be studying for that instead of on autostraddle…
you’ll be surprised by how much less stressful APs are when you’re a senior and already into college. APs from my junior year were probs one of the most stressful times of my life…[Read more]
-
actually… except for yesterday. yesterday i had a little bit of a freakout when i looked out my window and saw sunshine and remembered that i had to study instead of frolic outdoors. (see my freakout post upthread haha).
-
ap bio, that’s intense. we queerios ought to be really studious if we want the gay agenda to follow through and take over the world, so g00d luck!
-
-
I’m counting on less stress next year… I’m taking another three if my schedule works out. Less freak outs would be nice >.< Good luck on Bio tomorrow!
-
my plan for junyahh year is basically, just 2 APs APUSH and AP SPANISH, keep a high grade, work on my leadership positions, ace the SATS (highly unlikely), and not get distracted (super unlikely). So far, world domination and nice gay-friendly colleges are keeping me motivated.

APUSH is over our lives can resume…

-
Oh I’m a sophomore too. I should have clarified, but I’m just freaking out about finals. I’m probably going to have stomach problems for the rest of my life when I start taking APs.
-
i almost forgot… finals. yeah, so relevant when you have a high B and a low A. then junior year, i’m fucked.

Hello this is very relevant to my interests/life.
-
Hello, tell us about your interests/life please. I see you wear boy(boi)shorts and like to read books, this is an excellent start.
-
Yes I do. Boyshorts are extremely comfortable. Other interests include girls and foxes, and taking straight girls to prom. My life is filled with books and homework and also wonderful queer friends. I look astonishingly gay and wear shoes with rainbow laces yet I am still technically in the closet. I’m pretty sure most people I know would admit…[Read more]

You know, I have one of those knit hats with animal faces on them, and its a fox. I was walking down the street in Boston (where I go to school) one day, and a person who worked at Habitat for Humanity and was trying to get money from people started jumping up and down and screaming, “Oh my goddess, you have to stop drop and roll now, there is a…[Read more]

I also enjoy boyshorts and books!
What types of books do you like? -
Sophie: XD I say “Oh my Goddess” too! People give me strange looks. Worth it. I’ve never taken a Myers Briggs personality test before, but if I did, it would probably tell me I like feelings and listen well and totally mother all my friends.
Good luck on your research paper! But wait, why are you filling out forms for John Boehner?

I tend to prefer girly underwear, but I also highly enjoy books. In fact, I’m reading right now, instead of doing homework.

I’m wearing boxers right now, and am also reading instead of doing homework!

I am going to start sending in pics of some Hot Chicagostraddlers soon. I think we can safely say that at least %10 of the Top 100 Hot Queers is going to be us. Let me know if you object to being submitted, or if there is a specific picture you would like me to use. You have until May 6th. Go.

OOOOOH, what subjects do you have? I’m doing AS too.
Pure-maths, politics, modern history and business. Not very interesting, how about yourself?
whooa. i have literature in english, sociology, economics and accounting.
i didn’t even know politics was a subject at AS haha
Umm I sure hope it is, I would of taken both economics and accounting but I didn’t get the option of studying either of them.
80% pichurrss!!??? DR.SEUSS PARTY!
I’ve never actually read a whole Dr. Seuss book (I think) – I’m sorry, perhaps I should of been more specific..
GASP! 50% of your childhood thrown out of the window.
80% pichurrss!!??? DR.SEUSS PARTY!
omg hi! fellow AS person! (it’s confusing how AS means Advanced Subsidiary and Autostraddle at the same time) i study equally geeky subjects, but a slightly different niche of geekery. (latin, ancient greek, english, history, and maths, looking to do classics at uni.) exams starting next week, right? :D
i don’t think i was expecting that smiley to come out looking as cheerful as it does at the prospect of exams being next week. :’)
I realised that the initials where the same also, I thought it was pretty neat. You took 5? Crazy, I looked into taking 5 but my 5th choice was pretty irrelevant – I want to study Accounting & Finance, or Accounting & Law (that’s actually a thing) at university, I honestly cannot wait for them to be over, if I had to wait it out much longer I’d…[Read more]
yeah, i actually am taking 6 (japanese as an extra. i did japanese AS last year and am doing A2 this year.) and i’m chinese so i took chinese AS a couple years ago. i like to torture myself by taking too many subjects, what can i say. (i ended up doing 13 GCSEs in total, i am a crazy person.) i haven’t actually really started revising yet! i’m…[Read more]
Holy crow, you sure speak a lot of languages, and interesting ones – I only studied French and (Irish) Gaelic. I haven’t started to revise much myself either, I figure I’ll just wing maths and history: I have a photographic memory, so I can pretty much remember every single fact/date I ever read about – it’s a welcome skill :)
oh man, i’m jealous! ): i, on the other hand, have no excuse for not having started revising yet. i’m just really lazy, no idea how i manage to survive doing so many subjects. i’ve finally just sat down and started looking at my history textbook. I AM NEVER GOING TO REMEMBER ALL THIS CRAP. ): *panics*
but gaelic sounds awesome!
Are you also studying Churchill and German Democracy & Dictatorship? I’m not sure if it’s a national thing.
I don’t know if I’m qualified to actually say that I studied Gaelic, I don’t think I could string together one grammatically correct sentence – and I have no idea why I was taught it, I’m not Irish…
nope! it’s not a national thing, b/c there are like three different exam boards and then within each exam boards your school can opt to teach you different topics. for one of my papers i’m doing russia from 1881-1953, and then for my sources paper i’m doing england from like the last decade of elizabeth i’s reign to the first few years of charles…[Read more]
Ah, I feel a little silly now, we did the blitz (CW), and the cold war at GCSE and we’re pretty much doing the same, luckily I know all the dates prior to taking the topic.
I haven’t studied Gaelic in a while, I’m not taking exams in it – but it was oddly thrust upon my 8 year old self and I had to study it until I finished Junior School, so…[Read more]
yeah, our school felt like it would be boring if we did the same topics. in a way, i kind of appreciate learning new stuff, but i also see the advantage of doing similar topics to lessen the workload a tiny bit. i’m not really very into modern history anyway, so i’m not gonna keep going with A2.
haha, i am SO going to make up words, because that’s…[Read more]
I prefer modern history, it fits better with politics, it all sort of links together, which I think is pretty good. I’m definitely dropping Maths because I’d rather cut my arms off than do it for another year, it’s easy and boring (maths is, for sure, my strong suit) and I think I might pick up another AS because my school want me to get a…[Read more]
i’m into the more ancient side of things, as you can probably tell. :’D oh, maths is the subject i’m definitely keeping because it’ll probably be my easiest subject and it keeps me sane from all the essay-writing i have to do in all my other subjects. :’D oooh, awesome, what AS are you thinking of picking up?
I’d like to go for psychology, or perhaps biology – not that these things would benefit me particularly but additional qualifications are always good, but my school and my tutor have suggested I take music – because it’s mostly composition and I could complete it quite early on in the year, but I already have written qualifications in music for…[Read more]
