I'll have you know that I cut and pasted my own name from Wikipedia where I typed it in correctly several years ago.

Apologies for the slight on your character.
Is adding a Wikipedia page about yourself cringeworthy?

your all a little bit soft in here, no wildness, drug dealing? muppet bashing? bit of breaking and entering? gang fights against the skinheads? whistling at girls walking up the street?

To be honest, I have done things in my past that I would never admit to on here.

Yes. But I was older when I did that so it doesn't warrant a mention in this thread.

Sincerely,

when drunk I used to eat cigarettes, including the filter

I used to drink hot chili sauce, just for the laugh.

same here, but isnt it funny how we pretend to be a certain someone online, but in real life its different. Look at the high horse brigade that come on giving out about poor people all the time, as if they lived a perfect existence and didn't spend half their teenage years interfering with themselves :pac:

Imagine if the less stable members here were honest...

"Well, I cringe at the time I stole a copy of my friends homemade love-making video, then furiously beat off to it."

"The time I licked the toilet seat at a house party when this girl I liked had just left the bathroom".

"the time me and my friends took turns riding this girl that was passed out at a college party! Cringe!!!!"

Went through hail rain and snow looking for used phone cards to collect.
I must have looked like forest gump running around the city

I used to take stupid risks climbing rocks and cliffs and trees.

I got a camera when I was around 10 and I used to bring the flash right up to my eye and trigger it. It felt kind of warm and everything would be in hues of green for a minute or 2 afterwards. *shudder*

When me and an old mate were about 6 years old we used to copy the 'lovemaking' scenes on tv, by going to his bedroom, stripping off and kissing..26 years later we know don't talk

All will be revealed when Bebo comes back!

Ugh, I used to be a mopey teenager convinced he was a misunderstood unappreciated literary genius. I wrote some stories that were passable, and an endless parade of utterly embarrassing, self-pity filled pretentious poetry all of which is still under my need in my mams house. Think Jim Morrison crossed with a spotty virgin.

I also used to hang around with a mate and we were both into nirvana and what have you. Nothing wrong with that but we also made plans to move to Seattle because we thought it had to be the coolest place on earth, and used to want to wear combats and developed an advanced hatred of "ravers", which to us were people who wore x-worx and listened to 2 unlimited. Absolutely pathetic, since we clearly didn't know what a rave was or know the first thing about electronic music.

Oh and my early experiences of girls are all humiliating in retrospect. Couldn't admit I hadn't gotten the shift when I was fourteen (never occurred to me anyone else was lying) so I even made up fictional girls I'd scored somehow when none of my friends were around. Then I finally did go down the woods in our estate with a girl and was so nervous I started shaking when we kissed, uncontrollably, and claimed I was cold. That was after an eternity of awkwardly standing there looking at her...

Oh, and getting into fights in primary school. I say fights, I mean holding each other in a headlock for a few minutes then going home (often walking with the person I was meant to fight). Once was getting beaten in a row and hit the ground roaring "my arm! My arm!" to end it. The guy I was fighting and all of our mutual friends (it was in a street football match) were in hysterics at me.

This has been very cathartic. Or traumatic, I forget which.

Just think instead of loosing a few thousand braincells each time, you lost a few thousand cones and rods in your retina instead.

Thought I knew everything ....

Pretty sure I read the first two books as a kid. Too close to the bone.

(Around the late 70's).

I was discovering young men back then and some of that was certainly cringe worthy. LOL

I hung around the central bank. The horror

TheBeardedLady · 04-10-2014 01:01AM

I still cringe about stuff I did yesterday ffs.

Teenage years?

Be a totally annoying pain in the hole in class for every teacher when I never ever shut up talking to the lad sitting beside me and the oter pain-in-the-hole fella behind me day in, day out. We were relentless. The poor teachers and fellow students who had to suffer our gob****edness in every class.

Drinking vodka and making a holy show of myself at teenage discos.

My phase of wearing long-sleeved House of Pain T-shirts thinking I was a hard arse.

The list goes on.

Good times.

When I was 7, I watched Death Becomes Her and at one point Meryl Streep is saying "flaaaaccid." I got that word stuck in my head and started saying it everywhere. My teacher was horrified and told me to stop saying it so I started yelling "FLAAAAACCID" to show she had no power over me.
