...is an extremely terrifying process that no one should ever do.

I, out of boredom and procrastination (I sat down about an hour ago to just check facebook for like 5 minutes before finally putting some laundry away), read through like 20 pages of my old posts...I only really covered the end of 2008 and I've got to say...I'm totally mortified! I can't even imagine what reading 2004-2007 would do to me. I'd probably go into cardiac arrest.

Crazy.

I enjoy reading posts from before the release of sims 3. Seeing what people thought the game would be like and whether their predictions came true is quite entertaining. I wasn't registered back then, only lurking, which is really a shame. What horrified you so much, brit?

I know what you mean!

However the absolute worst for me was: Before here I had a LiveJournal (for in between my closest real life friends) and I just can't bare to read any of my entries on there from last year and before. And oh gosh... 2006 and early 2007 are completely and totally horrifying. I was terrible back then. I was pretty much "emo" and had a lot of growing up to do. I wish so much that I could have appreciated what I had, but I was too stuck on little things to focus on reality and how things could have EASILY been so much worse.

In fact I just flat out hate myself from back then. I can see why I lost a lot of friends. And to be honest I can't see why I still have any of those same real life friends. They had to put up with a ton of crap from me. In actuality, I don't know that the word "emo" could actually accurately describe how bad I was... I was worse.

It's true, you really shouldn't read through your older posts! (And it was worse for me because all of my LJ entries have been loong rants.) However, the thing is you really realize how much you've grown up, and it's always nice to know that we aren't like that anymore. XD

I'm actually not very good about even reading those old entries, I get to the point where it's just too horrible to read anymore - I get incredibly embarrassed towards myself.

I was just the spazziest spazz that ever spazzed.

This is why if I could delete some of my history from here I'd do it in a heartbeat. It's bad enough that I have to be subjected to it let alone the fact it's there for lurkers to see. Permanently.

Yeah I know! See, this is why I sometimes wish I was still a moderator here...I could just...delete every single post! =P

It does show how much people can change and mature in just a few years. I love and hate looking at my old posts - it's interesting, but leaves me in a bit of shock...

amen.
