Hey--don't knock it until you've seen my class/exams. Granted, APUS (Advanced Placement US history) was fairly easy, and I also found the AP Exam (which is good 4 college credit)rather easy 2...don't know how well I did.
At least your schools accross the pond don't have IP ("Integrated Project"), a combined AP US/Hon. English 11 grade. A massive YearLong WASTE OF MY TIME!..granted, it was part of the reason I did so well in those classes, but still didn't learn anything. Maybe some day post about it, or show the end product (a 42 min. video about the 1960s).

Summer is here for me. Looking for 2-a-days at least 3 times a week. Drop the body fat by about 25% by end of summer.

Spazzing away on my thesis.

As for the hair I think black isn't as required for emos as with goth. Not that I'm in the culture. hurm

*google google*

See a blond poster emo.
Although maybe not quite that flattering

Ok that guys in "emo news" or something like that.

As for grades the way it used to be for me was

90%+ =A
80%+ = B
70%+= C
60%+ =D
below that F

Looks like they've raised the numbers a bit for you. Actually where do you live? Where I was there were periodic tests that ranks you against the nation. Those probably give a better idea of how you match up. So you might be 49/159 at your school but higher overall.

and that blonde dude isnt stereotypical emo hairstyle. it could fit in though, because of the long yet spikey and randomness

Are you actually advocating a stereotype for emo?

I always found that hair-style to be pretty ridiculous, myself.

I kinda like the style even though I never really did it. Its only when people take it to the extreme it gets stupid.

Yeah, I hear that. I'm by no means one of the major emoishly beautiful people. In fact i'm quite uncommon for having blonde hair.
We just get made fun of for a lot of things. Mostly around the boys are often indistinguishable from the girls. And its a relatively non-masculine scene if you will.
Apparently, all emo's cut themselves and they are all bisexual as well....just some more stereotypes.
