Too funny to regret tbh

I very much regret being too anxious to go to parties that, for some reason, people kept inviting me too anyway (to the point of once faking feeling sick :grimacing:). My teenage regrets are just boring and sad

Oh also when I sent that jokey email to the IT technician to protest Tetris being blocked by the school filter and the head of year read it back in a very serious voice and it struck me how much, in fairness, it could be interpreted kinda death threaty

our IT teacher, Kevin, could access and control people’s screens and would put them up on the big screen at the front if they were messing about, I obv ended up having DiS threads put up on there more than once

Most of school was just a blur of embarrassing moments and anxiety. The moments that still make me cringe about 15 years later are with a specific crush I had with who I made the classic mistake of 1) taking the micky out of thinking that she would enjoy the bantz but instead just upset her, 2) i distinctly remember winking at her, apropos of nothing, during some kind of assembly and she looked away disgusted, and worst of all 3) on the last day of school getting a mate who had her mobile number give it to me so I could text her and admit how I felt about her. Awful stuff.

She did, although i think in the cold light of the following day I realised how awkward the whole thing was and deleted both the messages and the replies. In fairness I have a feeling she let me down gently. Years later I saw her in a pub and we made eye contact and she looked away pretending not to see me. Character building

used to wear this as a kid - enjoyed telling relatives it was guns n fuckin roses

Wearing a Cradle of Filth t-shirt is bad. Wearing a Cradle of Filth t-shirt with ‘Jesus Is A Cunt’ written on the back is worse.

Maybe she liked him too! And he never knew…

Literally every romantic decision I made until I was 19. I don’t think it’s being “grass is always greener” to say I got every large (I mean, in context) decision wrong.

Also got a bollocking on a school trip for my “BOY BANDS SUCK” t-shirt because it was “sexual humour”, which I maintain says far more about the teacher who read that into it than anything else. Also what a fucking stupid t-shirt. Might as well have been “SHINGLES SUCKS”, it’s not exactly controversial.

Gave away my Pokémon cards to my younger cousin. I had fucking loads of shinies, if I’d kept them I could stick them on eBay now and retire.

Double tab of acid then going home for a quiet evening watching Emmerdale (scariest thing of all time) and an early night (no sleep and several extremely effecting delusionary hellscapes)

Still remember it like yesterday, seemed all 3D and hard to remember I wasn’t part of the show. Every line had this incredible emotional weight to it and every so often I was trapped in a tower made from their neck flesh etc
Good show
