I'd forgot about OOSOOM (which makes me feel so guilty - poor Marcy, always the forgotten one); but during S1 I definitely identified with both Willow and Marcy (I wasn't "invisible" in the way Marcy was in that I was picked on quite a lot and pretty constantly until late high school; but I was definitely a "loner" with few friends and didn't have many people wanting to sign my yearbook. Which sounds rather pathetic when I type it out like that.)
Re: dodgeball, I guess if you were good at it, if you were nimble and athletic and were popular, i.e. didn't have people throwing that ball at you as hard as they could for the fun of it? Then I suppose it could be fun. I still remember the time the ball hit my face square in the nose and forehead and how much that hurt - and how amazing it was that it didn't break my glasses. To me it seemed fairly fucking sadistic - and that's without the mortification of being the very last one assigned to a team because nobody picked you. Good times. */end sarcasm*
So I guess add Jonathan to my early-seasons identification list!
