Things you never thought you'd say you did.

[Yokai]

This summer has been a rather interesting one for me, and I've done all sorts of things I'd never done before, and some things which I simply could not have predicted. For example, in the last month, a girl who I hadn't seen in a year fell asleep on my arm while listening to a really terrible indie band on the roof of an auto parts store well after midnight, and I purchased a copy of The Dark Knight Returns from a hipster with a homemade peg leg. Suffice to say at the beginning of the day I had no idea these things would be happening.

So, have you ever had an experience so far removed from your expectations, good or bad or simply strange, that you're just a bit surprised at yourself whenever you mention it? Do tell.

 

[WaywardHaymaker]

I brought Yu-Gi-Oh! back and played a monkey in a musical. All in all, successful summer!

 

[JochemDude]

4 and a half days ago I wouldn't have guessed that I wouldn't be able to sleep till now and counting.
(sorry for bad sentences, I'm not as sharp now)

 

[Amethyst Wind]

Tell 70-odd Chinese people that Chairman Mao is in hell.

 

[retyopy]

The end? Heh... It's only just begun... PIE TO THE FACE!

 

[Delsana]

Well I got naked with some guys and I WANTED to do it.

---
Why? Well it wasn't for homosexual reasons... it was for camaraderie and it was something that after hearing about the antics that went on with a person I talked to... I just had to do because it was a camaraderie that I never experienced as I never really experienced any of it.

It happened two or three times and it was harder to do than I thought but it went well, sadly hasn't happened sense.

Also water-tubed publicly naked with a few friends... that was something I'd never do.
---

I also tried, had, and eventually became more applicable to having cigars with friends, which I assure you is something that was ENTIRELY against my entire being and code of what is right... one of these times happened YOU GUESSED IT while I was naked around a campfire with several guys.

---

Oh, and I drank... which was so far outside my realm that I am still baffled, and I now have clocked over 80 Woodchuck Ciders and tried numerous other things and have a passion for Dessert Wines.

---

What else?

I spent 400 dollars (not too much money I know) on a person I knew only for a year or so, who'd hurt me innumerable in contrast to the times they helped me innumerable (much less frequently) and gave them a great birthday dinner and day all for them... and would have done more but was pushed from it.

And this after I was hurt by the person literally.

---

I am amazed at the things I do... oh I curse now, occasionally, and act angry, and am no longer "the nicest person you've ever met", because of what has happened to me, not what was listed above, but some other things.

---

Oh and I masturbated... unintentionally of course, but for the first time I did... gosh that was shocking to me as I never did it in my entire life and intentionally never plan to as I need no lustful desires.

---

What else...

Oh so many things but as trivial as they seem they are things I could never fathom me doing.

 

[Delsana]

...

Oh and I became a Christian, got baptized, and then... got hurt by the people I was baptized with.

 

[krazykidd]

All mine are sexual , but i really expected to be a virgin all my life and live in my parents basement till i was 40 . But i'm 22 living with my gf and i stoped being a virgin at 18 . Had a couple experiences with different people but nothing too interesting . Anyways things look better than i expected

 

[Wickatricka]

I lost my virginity.. damn ^ now it sounds like I'm copying this guy
'

 

[Hitokiri_Gensai]

hmmm... i got stalked earlier this year by some creepy ass dude with some sort of fetish for women with weapons.

nearly got killed by an idiot teenager at the gun range two weeks ago.

 

[Kinkaido]

Rappel off of a 100 foot high castle tower.

 

[blankedboy]

"I'm transgender, yeah."

Tell that to 10-year-old me and watch the chaos.

 

[Raijha]

I'm going to visit my mother for the first time in something like, iunno, 8 or 9 years. And I confirmed 100% that my grandfather on my maternal side is not grandfather by blood, and that I shall likely have no way of learning about or meeting my true blood relatives.

As for stuff I never expected I would do, there really wasn't anything super important. I got my license to legally sell mutual funds in my province, and am working towards my certified financial planner designation and my life licensing certification, a direction when I was younger I never saw my life taking. But its interesting.

Oh and I got the drunkest I've likely ever been or ever will be for a dual birthday party, heh. One of my friends blacked out the point he had to be dragged from the bathroom unconscious. I didn't go that far, thankfully,but I was still pretty messed up.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Graduate University. It took forever to get to that point in my life and now that I've got a certificate under my belt, it feels weird.

 

[The87Italians]

Well for one I started playing Maplestory again. Couldn't say why, don't really no.

I also got drunk when I told myself I wouldn't. That didn't end very well, although I guess there was no way it would've ended well.

 

[Phlakes]

Singing. I was the least confident person in the world, I barely ever talked and my few friends were left over from when I was too young to be self-conscious, and after a long series of coincidences and luck, I ended up writing and singing, and it was life-changing. Some of my friends and I have made some amateur films for a while, and now we're working on getting a web series started. A musical. With me as one of the leads.

So going from practically blending in with the walls to (soon) acting and singing for a virtual audience was a bit unexpected.
