I've Become Everything I've Ever Hated.

[Misterian]

I used to be a large Nintendo fanatic that refused to get non-nintendo platforms.

Then the Wii was released, but I couldn't play it in my room because it was as big as a medium-sized tent, waaay too small to play a Wii in.

then I found out about Fallout 3 for the 360, I was so amazed by the pre-release footage that I found myself wanting an Xbox 360 instead.

I've rarely played another Nintendo game ever since.

I've never really hated anything...
So this thread isn't possible for me...

i really like tea my self, i used not like anime through highschool, but came a big fan after school ended. watching howls moving castle started the change when i watched it in grade 12.. then a year later a friend showed me elfen lied and hellsing. which changed my perspective on anime that you can make anything in the anime world. there are no rules, and i love that fact.... i recently finished the BUU saga of dragon ball z finally, DBZ is an old friend from my young childhood, before highschool tells you that your too old for childish things so i did not finish it back then.. i have right all the wrongs.

The tears and blood created by flame wars in these forums is what sustains me. >

Led Zeppelin
My dad and the local radio used to overplay LZ. That and Journey.

Now, I'm doing a retrospective on them, and found that they also made one of my favorite songs that I wasn't ever able to place or remember the name of.
It turns out to be Kashmir, from LZ.

(Which I honestly did not know until last year.)

Hated most Star Trek for a long time, didn't like the drama or the boring/slow pacing (for DS9 and TNG respectively). Now I'm actually watching them over again a lot of the concepts just "click" now.

There are many things in life that I didn't like when I was younger, but as I grew, so did my taste.

I always liked Tea however. Coffee is a different story, I hated coffee until I turned 20 or 21, now I don't mind it so much. I don't need it like some do, but I don't mind a cup once in awhile, especially irish coffee.

Most alchohol took awhile to get into, like wine for example. Now wine is one of my favorite drinks.

Much like you Colour-Scientist, I really hate a beverage and swear it is the yucky substance that I have ever drank. The two differences being mine is Beer and I STILL hate it. I am 22 now and so far it doesn't look like I am going to change. I have even tried to get into it over and over, nope. I prefer whisky, vodka, wine, rum. Hell anything over beer.

Tealiahio!

Once upon a time, I didn't like Muse, the band. Their slightly-more known songs from their first album were like sandpaper in my ears.

But.. But... *puts on hipster glasses* The first three albums are the best three albums!



Personally, I remember the first time I ever heard Mastodon I almost shat myself. Now I love them.

Hnnnngg.

I feel that way every time I am introduced to a new Metal band >.>

I eventually grow to love them.

I know what you mean. I think Mastodon was the strangest though, I was ten, my brother walked in and put on Iron Tusk at full blast. It was all very scary.

All my life I have hated tea. Living in Ireland, I was a severe disappointment to my family and was frequently shamed and ridiculed. Rather than joining the crown to please others, however, I refused to give in to the pressure and continued to abstain from drinking the beverage. Eventually my family grew to accept me and soon all was forgotten and I maintained that tea was the most yucky substance to have ever been invented.


Recently, however, I was forced to drink a cup of tea as there was no coffee available and I was in desperate need of a hot drink and, to my disgust, I enjoyed it. Now I am a regular tea drinker, often having more than one cup a day. As I type this, I am sipping away at a lovely mug of Barry's Tea and it is delicious.

I haven't told my family yet because I don't think I could cope with the endless wave of 'I told you so's they are going to assault me with.

Anyway, back to the point of the thread.

Is there anything that you used to dislike but have recently come around to. It could be food, music, actors, films, ideas or anything.

I know this thread has been done before but wa'eva, I do what I want.

just remember to leave the bag in long enough for the anti-toxin goodness to seep out, unlike those 2 second Dunkers that end up drinking a cup of hot water and milk.

saying that I do prefer coffee

Spent many years mocking people who fell into that rutt in life and not putting effort into their love-life/relationships, always telling my girlfriend we'd never end up like that.

Recently realised I've become a boring old man and at some point in the last few years seemed to lose that romantic spark I always harped on about.

Becoming what you always hated/mocked when you was young makes you an angry person!
