It isn't that I have no appreciation for it. To the contrary I love it.
I've just never had any talent for it. And when I pour my heart and soul into something that comes out so freaking substandard it's frustrating. I compare my work to my peer's and there really is no comparison.
Edit: Drawing, painting, origami, valentine's hearts cut from cheap construction paper, glueing...none of it works for me.
Edit*2: I see that Art was one of your favs Vlaad. That's right. I've seen some of your work. I could never do what you do.

The upside is that he is hot when he is frustrated I for one would like to see him redo a Michelangelo. I could just watch that all day, the hotness of the struggle to perform unaware of that little bead of sweat that is dripping down the small of his back. Yummy!!

1. Your best/favorite subject:
English, specifically writing
2. Your worst/least favorite subject:
Any form of post-algebra/theoretical mathematics (limits = Satan)
3. The lastest you've stayed up studying/doing homework:
Until the exam at 11 a.m.; I crashed afterwards.
4. Your most despised teacher's first name:
I never really despised any of my teachers, but Bill is the one with whom I just couldn't get along, so I'll say him.
5. Your favorite teacher's first name:
Michael
6. Your best friend's first name:
Francis
7. The first name of a classmate you found attractive:
Jennifer. My first crush, in fourth grade.
8. Your best experience:
Our choir in 7th grade got a standing ovation at an event where they pick 12 (I think, can't remember) junior high, high school, and college choirs from around the state to perform for the Texas Music Educators Association. We were told beforehand that no one in the past several years had attained that honor.
9. Your worst experience:
Moved to a new school in 12th grade and leaving behind lifelong friends; I ended up graduating six months early because I knew no one.
10. Your most embarrassing experience:
I'm sure there are other stories I can't remember, but this is freshest in my mind.
It was 14 or so months ago, and our fraternity was gearing up for our annual Winter Formal. I was the only one without a date, and it was the last week of my pledging process. So, at our pledge class's open party in mid-November, I accidentally let slip that I thought one of the girls there was cute. Naturally, it spread around and this girl caught wind of this (some brotherhood, eh?  ). Everyone kept telling me to go and talk to her, but I was far too shy to do it. She eventually left, and I later heard that she had said "I'm tired of this junior high stuff."
Needless to say, I went stag to formal.
11. The most injured you've gotten at school:
Sprained wrist in gym during a backpedaling relay
12. The biggest punishment you ever received at school:
25 minute detention in second grade on the day that I learned my first "naughty word." Yeah, I was a sickeningly good kid.

Being a weakling in my old high school's PE class.
I take this back. My 7th grade class had to do a dance routine along to a disco/rap track for homecoming week. We all had to do those embarrassing John Travolta moves with that loud, goofy music.  Worst of all, I was in the middle of the front row.
I think a teacher taped it, too.

Time for this thread to come back. To slightly modify my post in another thread, this is the basic outline of my school experience:
I went to 1st Grade in Russia for 3/4 of the year, then moved to America, and started going to the local elementary school. I didn't speak much English at first. I skipped second grade, and went on to third grade. I still didn't speak much English, but, since my mom made me study math at home, and I seemed to learn relatively quickly, I was bored with how slow school was. When I entered third grade, I read at the first-grade level. When I left third grade, I was reading at a sixth-grade level. I got a few friends around that time (I didn't really have any in Russia). Then I went to fourth grade, and completed it. By the end of fourth grade, I could speak English fluently.
Around that time, I noticed that some kids were like me with their fast learning pace, and some kids were much slower. In fact, when we would read out loud (an activity that I hated, and continue to hate to this day), I would just read ahead, and then sit bored, and hope that none of the really slow-reading kids would have to read, as that would just take ages.
Then came middle school. In fifth grade, I was obsessed with correcting everyone's grammar (remember that less than two years before, I couldn't speak much English!). Any time someone would come up to me and say, "What's up?" I would hit them on the head with a pencil, and yell, "No slang!" Also in fifth grade I got into the Gifted and Talented program, which was basically a once-a-week opportunity to get out of class and play games with the smarter kids. My current friends were all in that program, although out of my friends at the time, only one was in it.
In sixth grade, I became a lot more lazy. Earlier, I had been obsessed with quality, but at this point I became less concerned, and by grades suffered somewhat as a result. Also, the guy who would later become my best RL friend moved here that year. I didn't talk to him much then, though. That year, in Social Studies, we did a lot of projects with a lot of coloring, gluing, and cutting out, all activites that I hated. Also, my Social Studies teacher couldn't pronounce her "l"s. As a result, I didn't like Social Studies much, and my grade in there suffered.
In seventh grade, I made more friends, and my quality of work improved slightly. But Social Studies, this time with a different teacher, was still not enjoyable. There, we had to do a project of some sort, and I didn't do it, so I ended up with a 66 in the class for the last quarter. But that grade had its good moments as well. I joined HC in that grade. Also, we had a relatively amusing science teacher with a prosthetic leg. He would get mad if anyone would say the word "hyper" in his class. Also, I became a lot more creative in seventh grade, largely thanks to Gifted and Talented and my Journalism class, in which I got to write quite a few off-the-wall articles. I still hated coloring and cutting stuff out, though. Around that time, my dad quit his job and started his own business, which continues to run successfully to this day. Also around this time, I realized, after a few discussions, that I was different from most of my friends, and indeed most of the people around me except for my family in that I did not believe in a god. Also, three special-ed girls brought a bottle of brandy to school and drank in the girls' locker room. At that time, I noticed that a lot of the special-ed kids weren't really any slower than average, just a lot lazier, and more prone to doing drugs and drinking.
Eighth grade was in the Mid-High, an ugly old building. Out of all my years of school, it was probably my least favorite, although it, too, had its moments. All of my classes (and I mean ALL) were complete drudgery. One of my friends became home-schooled. One moved away. One, for some reason, started acting differently, and became a lot more lethargic. So I, with my remaining friend, formed a new group of people, all of whom I had hung out with in the Gifted and Talented program back in Middle School. Also, one of the most fun things in my life, Academic Team, began in 8th grade. I became the leading team member, and I became friends with the people in it. Otherwise, though, that grade sucked. I had a teacher who forced me to carry chairs for him. I got mad. Another day, that same teacher gave us an assignment to redesign the area where the dumpsters were kept, which I did in 5 minutes, and he told us to go home for the weekend and think about it. Next Monday, he saw that only a few people actually did the assignment (and, I admit, theirs was more elaborate than mine), so he refused to count the assignments, and gave us extra work. I decided that this was manifestly unfair, so I marched into his office, where this exchange took place.
Me: I disagree.
Him: With what?
Me: With YOU! You punished us all, when some of us did our work. I did my work. Why should I be punished?
Him: Let me see.
I showed him what I did.
Him: You didn't do anything! You just drew two lines! That's not much of an idea. I told you to go home and think about it, and you just did it in 5 minutes.
Me: I'm sorry that I could come up with a better idea in 5 minutes than you could at all.
In retrospect, it's a wonder that I didn't get into any trouble. However, he complied, and took up the assignments. Thus, I drew the ire of those who didn't do it, but the thanks of those who did do it.
In ninth grade, though, things really started picking up. I had a weird English teacher, who acted like he was high on something, so I jokingly started talking about his being a druggie. My math teacher from a year before, though, took it seriously (even though none of the other teachers did) and actually went and confronted him about it.  That year, I became a lot more creative, largely thanks to that English teacher, my excellent Geometry teacher, and my Newspaper class. My geometry teacher began the year acting like the teacher mentioned previously, but, instead of getting mad when I stood up to him, I won his favor, and he became friendly towards me. My Newspaper class was "taught" by an old lady who had been my English teacher the year before, but really we did nothing in there but play games and write the occasional story. It was really run by a senior (12th grade) girl who became the valedictorian that year. She encouraged my creativity, and I began to write much better. I wrote a lot of amusing things that year, including a story about how there were crop circles in the Bermuda Triangle.
But the most important thing that happened that year was my writing of "The Problems of [My town] High School", an essay (that I revised several times) about all of what I could see wrong with the school. And there was plenty to write about. My main targets were lazy teachers, large attention being paid to athletic teams but not Academic Team, and, most importantly, my opposition to school spirit. Once a month, our principal would corral us into the basketball gym, where we would listen to the band playing loudly, look at the athletic teams, and yell at a high volume. I refused to yell, which won me somewhat of a reputation. I hated (and still hate) these pep assemblies.
Also, the two additional causes of my general success that year was the fact that I was mostly in classes with advanced people, and that I could actually compete with somebody. Also, around that time, I became interested in politics, and economics, after being introduced to the latter by Charles Wheelan's excellent book "Naked Economics".
Then came my sophomore (10th) year, which was largely unremarkable, except that some people started dropping out, and some girls stated getting pregnant. Also, my sister was born.
Then came my junior (11th) year. I had my Geometry teacher again, this time in Pre-Calculus. I also had a fun class in AP Government, though my teacher there was a few fries short of a Happy Meal. That actually made the class a lot more fun, since it spurred huge debates in the class, which, as TheDeath and Asheera can attest, I enjoy immensely. (Unfortunately, quote wars don't work that well in RL ) Near the end of the year, though, that teacher was discovered sending text messages and naked pictures of himself to a lot of girls, and was forced to resign. But nothing was put on his record, so he can continue teaching happily again. Nor was this the first time this happened - it happened at the school where he used to teach too. Also that year, a friend and I started the Environmental Club. We had trouble starting it, since we needed the principal's approval, and it was quite difficult to track her down. It was like she was avoiding us. But we eventually were successful.
Now it is my senior (12th) year. I am going to apply to various universities, and, after the conclusion of this year, attend one of them. So far, though, the year has been fairly boring.

How?
That reminds me, a kid got expelled a week or so ago. He was pretty smart, but didn't work at all. He was also involved in drugs. He tried to quit many times, but he usually ended up just starting a new drug. But he was pretty nice. And then he mooned a kid nicknamed Duck at lunch in view of several teachers, the counselor, the principal, and the superintendent. He came into my Calculus class to hand his book in, and my teacher talked to him, and said, "Don't drop out. Go somewhere else." He didn't give any committal answer. "Why'd you moon Duck?" she asked. "Because I wanted to moon Duck," he replied, and left.

Those two don't work too well. I only "corrected" my teacher at computers & programming because no matter how many questions she then put me for "a reason to give me a bad mark" she couldn't since I was smarter than her (yeah she wasn't good at programming at all, seriously  ).
