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

[ribonuge]

I used to play football when I was a kid. Alot. How I did that I don't think I will ever know.

 

[Mortons4ck]

Awhile back, my diet consisted mostly of Ramen. Now I can't even look at the stuff.

My political ideology has shifted from far left to left-of-center.

I used to look poorly upon people who went out and partied. But recently, I've found myself attending more and more.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

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

This... a hundred times this.

I am so much happier now that I've given up Call of Duty, and I even have a new power-levelling Breton Mage and a Nord tank instead

Wait...you use a tank in Oblivion? Rather than a straight damage warrior?

How do you play it? I've rarely tried defensive nature characters.

[embarrassed] [small]I don't think I fully understood what a tank was...[/small]

Yeah he's a high damage Nord warrior, he uses Warhammers mainly, and then levels Blade and Hand to Hand in order to get the 5 points of Strength with each level.

So when people say 'tank', they actually mean a defensive guy there to soak up damage? Like Alistair?

Pretty much. They take damage so you don't have to in multiplayer RPGs. (co-op is the only thing I like, really). They also distract the enemy, making them attack them.

 

[Ghadente]

i use to own a puff daddy cd... until i got a clue and smashed it to pieces

ugh... i feel so gross when thinking back on that

 

[Disaster Button]

My personal tastes and interests, and the way I used to speak. Thinking of some of the things I used to do or say makes me cringe.

 

[GrinningManiac]

I used to try and fit in with indy-vering-on-emo prats. Then I grew a pair and stopped being such a brownnoser

Now I mock everything within a ten foot radius with pomposity

There's another one: I used to be shy amongst crowds and OMG-RANDOMZ-SO-FUNNEH with friends. Now I'm cheerful, optimistic, very indigant and easily riled. And I use "Wit" now, instead of shouting random words to answer questions. Seriously, why did ANY of us think "What's your name?" "A BANANNA!" was funny?

Oh, and in private, I am the most self-confident, pompous, indignant, superior, god-complex-suffering peice of acid you will ever meet. I wrote a whole page about how much I loathe the current personality and behaviours of a very old friend of mine (Not you, Josh, don't worry, buddy). I wrote it in a very wordy style.

Spoiler: here's the first paragraph

This insolent wretch, who might do well to think lower of himself, is vulgar, slightly abusive and terminally bigoted, and his behaviour and attitude towards me and others have done little, if anything, to win him favour. His outlook on the world is as chronically incorrect as it is pitiful, construed and miniscule in scope and potential. He scrambles at the lower rungs of mediocrity, seeking to somehow fit in with the crowd he attributes with knowing where it is at, whatever such an obscure and abstract a concept ?it? might truly be. Pathetic would be too kind a word, as it invokes some image of a meek, weak-willed character. No, this abomination of adolescent meagreness powers headstrong and head-first into his delusions, truly and honestly believing that this is all there is to the world.

I am a TERRIBLE person

 

[SeanTheSheep]

The first thing that comes to mind, is aths, I used to be really bad at it, but eventually I realised "Wait, this makes sense" and now, I'm a maths teacher.

I also used to be really into clothes, but then I realised "I can't be truly happy with these fabric shackles! Away with them!"
I have never been happier than I was at that momoent.

Nope...
Nothing else has changed...
Nothing at all in the slightest has changed with me since I was 18.

 

[Layz92]

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

I was 8, alright?

Are you saying Monty Python and The Holy Grail wasn't badass? It will come to fisticuffs if you don't think it's badass Sirrah!

On topic - Nah I'm pretty average. The closest I come to that is I cant believe I used to allow myself to take shit from teachers and other people.

 

[DazZ.]

Not listen to varied music genres, used to stick to just guitar/happy things.
Now I've picked up a load of musical likings and don't just hate music for no reason.

 

[MrBirdy]

I used to have hair till past my shoulders, wore mainly black.... in the wrong way. Thank god i did not go further down the path of being socially awkward! I still wear some black t-shirts but not in the old way luckily.

And i never thought I'd get an earring, but in a funny mood with some girls, booze and a friend.... I woke up next day beside one of the above mentioned girls and had a bonking red ear with a small stone in it. I became to like it though

 

[LiquidGrape]

I used to like sports.
Then I grew up.

P.S
Did I imagine it, or was someone badmouthing John-friggin-Coltrane a few posts back?
Not.
Cool.
D.S

 

[Numb1lp]

I used to think hip hop was terrible... I mean, I still do, but, ya know what I mean.

 

[JanatUrlich]

Oh god I used to refuse to listen to anything but metal and think I was so cool

I was not cool

OK. So what then do I call my big beefy warhammer wielding Nord? Just Warrior class?

I'm enjoying the mage more though. Very challenging when the enemies start to level up!

I just call it a Warrior. But since warhammers have the highest BASE damage, iirc, I'd called yours the motherfucking "Skullcrusher".

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

Glad you know Tom Baker when you see him.

 

[Latinidiot]

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...

exactly. also I play it too, which is completes the transformation

 

[ffs-dontcare]

I absolutely hated the idea of wearing jeans.

Now I wear black jeans.

 

[That's Funny]

I used to like artists such as Eminem.

My God how times change, I absolutely hate rap now and I barely think of Eminem as an artist.
