Divide your age by 2 and tell us what you were doing

Summer wind

I was 20 and working as a hairdresser. Had just met the man I ended up marrying. Had loads of friends and fantastic social life. My family were alltogether and we were really happy.

Paramite Pie

Was 14 -- since it's September I would've started my Junior Cert year.

Puberty & acne were well underway -- I sprouted so much hair on my skinny pasty legs -- it was very embarrassing. I got such a slagging. I had a bit of a awkward-not-quite-a 'tache as well and would start shaving it soon. It took a few days for friends to notice it was gone. Then I got slagged again.

Told everyone that I shifted some girl out the county to hid the fact that I was gay -- only for her to eventually find out and tell everyone it never happened. I became very introverted and depressed -- and everyone hounding me everyday about never shifting a girl didn't help. I self-esteem had largely evaporated by this time and I became suicidal. I would bury my self-hatred in heavy metal -- gradually befriending a lot of the moshers at this time. They all assumed I was a druggie because I was very pale, didn't sleep well so I looked a little stoned and was a little offbeat from my self-isolation from my peers. Instant street cred. :P

Hard to imagine since I've come so far -- it's almost like someone else's life looking back.

Just coming to the end of two months' inter-railing - back in the days when it was real value for money. Did a taster tour of pretty much the whole of Europe. Best holiday ever. Stopped off in England on the way home, did three interviews, got offered a job from one of them, offically emigrated from Ireland in October and never went back ...

Im 34,when i was 17 i caught the tail end of the rave scene.Lots of sex,drugs,debauchery and various other misdeeds. I don't know whether its a good thing or a bad thing,but I'm still at the same crack,although I've returned to my original true love of ska/rocksteady,and i insufflate my drugs these days as opposed to popping yokes.Why this weekend alone I took a trip up to belfast for a ska night that ended up turning into a serious session. To make matters worse,one of my concubines is carrying my unborn child,so I should probably knuckle down and stop actin the bollix.

15 years ago I was probably listening to scooter trying to get served in pubs and furiously fapping whenever I could. Not much has changed really......

How could you divide your age by 2 and get to a point that was before you were even born?

It was an attempt at a joke.

A failed attempt.

A failure.

I was 14, mooning over my Maths teacher and wondering why the boob fairy had forgotten me.

Dod you moon him in the middle of class or at more discreet times? Did he ever catch you either?

I was 11, almost 12, just in my third week of first year. I was finding it a bit hard to fit in but I knew lots of the people there at least, from primary school, I didn't have friends but spent a lot of my free time bonding with my one year old niece. She has just started first year herself now at the ripe old age of 12. Other than that I loved cycling around on my purple bike and watching lots of TV. :pac:

Sad life.

I was 15. I was working about 25 hours a week in my uncles shop and going to secondary school during the week. Didn't drink at that age and most people in my class did. So felt like a bit of an outcast. Avoided school discos and the like. Got bullied a bit for refusing to sell alcohol to some of the people I went to school with. A pretty unremarkable time of life.

Rounding to the nearest full year, I'd have been just starting first year of college and completely oblivious to how good I had it!
