I did several regrettable things as a child. However, since none of these things actually ended up killing me or had serious repercussions I think they’re probably acceptable, although I am still wondering if they are normal. I think a lot of people wonder if they were more stupid as children than everyone else, so it’s probably safe to say we all were and it’s okay because we turned out okay for the most part.

What Do I Have to Lose?
^ This is my new favorite phrase, uttered boldly during a (usually somewhat intoxicated) excursion as rationale for doing something potentially unconventional (or crazy. you could also say crazy). I used to prefer YOLO until someone pointed out the acronym’s other meaning, “You Only Liver Once”, and the phrase’s appeal was somewhat diminished.
(Some unconventional things, however, I actually don’t recommend doing no matter how fun it seems at the time, like chugging a water bottle filled with questionable liquor offered to you by a nice but nevertheless random ass stranger on the streets of Berkeley at 1AM on your birthday. Who did that? I don’t know. Hmm.)
Things I Did Not Tweet
I was singing Katy Perry or something equally top 40, and this girl I know joins in. It sounds like she’s singing a harmony (a 3rd below) so I ask her “Oh, you know how to harmonize?” and she says “What’s that?”. And I paused, and realized she was just really tone deaf. So I said “never mind” and felt a little bit awkward, but not awkward enough to stop singing.
