Cliques.

I can remember 7th grade. I can remember that everday during lunch, I would sit at the very end of a table, usually one closest to the middle of the Cafeteria, and eat my lunch that my mother so diligently packed for me... Alone. I didn't have friends. My last name was Hooker. This happened until half-way through the year, where, through the insistence of one of my teachers, I met some people, my friends still, today. Cole Charbonneau, his twin Will, and Nate Swearingen.
At this time (7th grade) I was most probably classified(by others) as a "Quiet Kid" a "Nerd(or geek, whichever you prefer* and *HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA HIS LAST NAMES HOOKER, LAUGH AT HIM!!!!!!*(sorry, that hurt back then, I couldn't care less now).
Anyways, through the influence of my new found friends, I became interested in things such as Band(in which I now play the Alto Sax for Concert Band).
While my friends have gotten me interested in new things(which is good). I have always been running. I love to run. I've been running in Cross Country/ Track since 4th grade. Its fun.

So, if I were to choose stereotypes that I fit in it would probably be
"Nerd/Geek"
"Crazy"(I like running, so sometimes Im told that, but oh well)
"Loner"(I still am sometimes)

I sometimes stereotype people often(or did). I have found that my views on people have changed, because, everyone is changing all the time. I have for, I don't know, two and a half years been out of the presence of many people that formerly, I did not like for one reason or another, and often find that I can talk to them easily, and I believe, even come to like and befriend them, If I took the effort to.

One thing Im having a little trouble grasping is this however;
Who decides what actions or looks go to which specific stereotype? Who would want to?
Who decides who fits what stereotype? One person might say person "A" fits in one stereotype, but another might say that they fit into another.
Can somebody fit into one stereotype? Or can they fit into two, or three?

As I wrote these questions, I came to one conclusion. Everyone is different. Everyone. Therefore, could we not have, if someone can only fit into one stereotype, almost seven billion (7,000,000,000) different stereotypes?
