Well I wouldn't have condsidered myself popular at all, but I was on varsity cheer for 3 years and took honors classes and all that. I knew everyone, people knew me, but I was not considered A list in anyway...(if I was I didn't know it).
I can ask...my reunion is in a couple weeks. =)
I ran into people I didn't really hang with in HS at a club not far from my mom's place one night a while back, but they knew who I was and remembered me by name...so that was cool anyhow.
