not talking to my father as much as i wanted to. it's a horrible thing to regret things after a person is gone, but that's how we work. if anything i guess it's shown me to appreciate the time i have with those i still have....or something.

Joining the Army for 5 years.

I should have stuck to my guns and gone with 2 or 3... I'd be out and in college by now. Now my life is delayed by 5 years. And I'm going to war.

Yup, that'd be it.

Not being more accepting when my sister moved out. She moved out at 17 to live with a 30+ year old guy who was also my boss at the time. It's been five years and we occasionally talk but it's like we're old roommates or something and not sisters. I don't think we'll ever be as close as we once were and I miss really talking to her.

sometimes i wonder if i regret the one-night stand I had. however, i never come to the conclusion that I do. It was stupid, it was about power and ego, but i don't regret it. I'll never do it again.

What I do regret is hurting someone who put a lot on the line for me... both emotionally and financially. The reason i regret it is because it wasn't necessarily something I can learn from. i can't say "oh, well, i just won't make that mistake again." it was one hard situation after another that led me to make that horrible decision that hurt him.

Not applying to the school and program I really wanted to. I was too scared to be rejected.

Affect · 04-08-2003, 11:34 PM

I'm on the verge of another one. My head aches, and my stomach feels strange. How important is continuing yourself anyway?

Yup, that'd be it.

I heard the Army now extended duty for everyone for 36 years, just so no one can leave the army while the war is going on..or something. obviously, the war won't go on for 26 years but...ok, that's what i heard.

i've had about 3 big regrets, but the biggest is losing my cake security job on january 27, 2003. i could have retired by just sitting on my ass. i'll never forgive myself.

my next one would be breaking a girl's heart back in 2001 and playing mind games. now i haven't heard from her in like, a year and a half and i've had two dreams about her. i just would like to talk to her once more.

telling the navy about my non-active psoriasis, thus not allowing me in.

then, the next one would be, at the time, moving out earlier than i should have, but now i see that it was one of the best things i have done.

partied the night before.
in the past i have gotten up two hours after a wild night and been fine, but that night/day just wasn't happening.

i woke up fours hours late, rushed to work, and was fired that monday (it was on sunday) for being four hours late and out of uniform.

it also sucks more when i found out my brother tried to wake me up and i have no recollection of that.
also, if i would have waited ONE MORE DAY, the main manager (the one that canned me) was leaving and being repleaced by this really kick ass older guy who wouldn't have cared about shit like that.

so, if there was some universal purpose for me losing such a great job, i'm waiting to find out why.

Affect · 04-09-2003, 12:23 AM

I'm sorry to hear that. Is there any way you can stay in the industry?

thank you.

i would love to. right now i'm filling my time with 2 part time jobs, one slinging bagels at einstein brothers and another slinging hot dogs at a guy i know's sausage stand.
i'm going to email this one (security) company, but the position might be filled. it's at a mental health institute and they ask for a year experience in security. i have 10 months, so i dunno.

but, long term plans are to go to the army and score any kind of job with computers. serving the country, but not on the front line. heh.

yeah. even my recruiter thought it was as lame as a box of rocks.
it's was only on certain areas on the bottom of my feet, too.

Junebug · 04-09-2003, 05:16 AM

dude. what the crap. (I don't know anything about who you are as a person but) they let some guy I know into the navy and he should NEVER EVER learn how to fire a weapon...and they won't let you in because of cradle cap? what the heck. that sucks. good luck in finding something else though.

yeah, i'll obviously do something with my life, i just hate the waiting, y'know?

Blue*Carbonite · 04-09-2003, 06:30 AM

my friend has active psy...that skin thingy and her recruiter lied for her so she could be accepted
but she broke her leg so it's a moot point

biggest regret? fucking so many people and killing so many brain cells

tootsie · 04-09-2003, 02:30 PM

Some people got stuck with that shit... only certain job specialties though, mostly combat arms. EWeew. I'd go awol if they told me I'd have to stay 26 years. Seriously.

oui henri · 04-09-2003, 07:49 PM

Letting depression cripple me to the point where i messed up my high school career
being so indecisive to the point where it has consumed me
i'm in night school now (enrolled for the second time)
i've retired from "day" high school twice
and i have no idea what i want to do once i'm finished night school

If you kill who I tell you to kill, I'll be your big brother.

I'm going to try this one more time...

I've got quite a few regrets... but I'll just try to list the biggest ones.

- being a jealous dumb shit the first 2 years or so that my boyfriend and I were together. We had so many fights over this one girl and his group of friends, and it was just immature and stupid - I still think I had a right to feel the way I did on a few issues, however, if given the chance again, I would totally handle the situation differently. All that fighting caused a lot of the issues we have now with interacting with other people and stuff.

- nearly destroying our relationship on two different occasions. October/November 2000 and February/March 2002

- Never getting the guts to meet my father. I've always said I'll take the initiative to meet him later, when I get married, when I have a home and something to show for myself, so I could say "yeah, look at me, I turned out okay, even without you" - yet I think I've waited so long I don't think I could ever take that initiative now, because I don't know if I ever will get to that point where I am proud enough of myself and my life to say that to him.
