Personal changes; "I can't believe I used to do that." What are yours?

[Cowabungaa]

I was just looking into the mirror, and suddenly a thought shot through my head: "Here am I, wearing a dress shirt and a pair of pants with a button fly. Never thought I'd be doing thát."

I used to abhor pants and shirts like that, simply because I hated fiddling with buttons, and now that pair of pants is one of my favourites and dress shirts are my favourite kind of shirts simply because I look damn good in them.

And at the same time, I just could not believe that that guy in the mirror used to be an avid fan of Dragonforce, things really have changed.

So does anyone else have experiences like this every now and then? Things you look back upon and think "Did I really used to do that?!" or the complete opposite.

What 180 degree changes have you gone through, little or big.

I... hmm... I cannot think of anything.
This is odd... adding more cogitating power...
Ah. I used to eat Chewee bars. How did I ever manage that?
The thought of eating them makes me sick now... especially after Berlin...

Thus far in 2010 I have done things that last year my brain would have considered suicidal.
I look back and think "Did I really have THAT little confidence in myself?"

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

When I was young I heard some death metal and wondered how anyone could listen to, let alone like that. Yet here I am in my Cradle of Filth shirt...

I used to eat paper...

No seriously, I did. Om nom nom nom nom

 

[Lexodus]

I hated jeans and I used to be a skinhead. Now my hair is past my shoulderblades and I wear jeans every day.

Ah, that reminds me, I used to eat cat food. And lots of it at that. The dry stuff, mind you, not the meaty stuff in jelly.

As a little 6-7 year old or so, I saw my cat gorge in the stuff and I thought "Well, that shouldn't be too bad." And indeed, it wasn't, it was brilliant. I can still barely believe I used to think that.

I was a weird kid...

I used to play games online. God, was online multiplayer a waste of time.

Losing my XBawks' internet connection may the best thing that ever happened to me. Although, I do miss DLC. I really miss DLC. Especially since games started giving it to me for free last year. Ex- Dragon Age, The Saboteur

I used to sleep without a pillow, for like years. I could just lie down on a mattress, no head support and fall asleep nearly instantly.

These days I sleep with 3 pillows, 2 albeit thin ones to rest my head on and one chunky groping/fighting pillow that lies next to me, I usually end up either wrapped affectionately around that it or fling it against the wall/at my alarm.

... Wow... just wow. Wow.

 

[Charlie the Grenadier]

I used to spend all my time posting on forums and talking to people in chat rooms :S

 

[Sonicron]

Used to hate lots of different vegetables... right now I'm preparing a ratatouille for lunch.

I also used to listen to nothing but metal, looking down on anything else as weak. This very moment I'm listening to "Friend like me" by Robin Williams. Why? Because it's just damn fun! ^^

The clothes thing happened to me - used to own nothing but jeans and bandshirts, but now I wear a suit or a combination on a regular basis.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I used to listen to the Kaiser Chiefs and Oasis.

I was a moron!

Now I listen to good music.

Like this!

You know...I'd listen to Kaiser Chiefs and Oasis over that. And I like metal. But then again, I can't stand metal where the vocalist sounds like that guy.

I like metal like this, whatever subgenre this is:

Ha! I remember being like that, too, except I had a thing for dog biscuits. Makes me laugh thinking about that now.

 

[son_of_khorne]

I used to eat Cat crunchies (the dry cat food in boxes), Cat food (tinned meaty stuff) and Raw meat. I did that until I was 10 and can't remember when I started, I used to be really weird.

 

[MetalBride]

Apparently when I was 3 i use to keep cockroaches as pets in match boxes... That is just gross

oh and I wore my first dress last year...

 

[Lemon Of Life]

I used to think that gallopping around making horse noises was badass.

I was 8, alright?
