...do you have any?

Poll coming.

So many that they cannot be counted. However, I have a really good memory for my screw ups.

A lot.

Regrets? I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention.

I have some regrets, but all of them are either minor things or things that can be fixed.

EDIT: Poll results are currently 3/1/3/1/3. It's all-odd, it's a full house, and it's a palindrome too!

Voted all.

I encourage you to actually reveal them to the NSG community, and ready thyself for criticisms.

Hi Frank!

Regrets violate the first principles of the universe. You should familiarise yourself with the writings of the eminent 20th Century Russian-American philosopher, Ayn Rand.

Gallo has a point. C'mon, Ifreann, I'm sure there are hotter people to lust after! :p

If you had familiarized yourself with the unique writings of the eminent 20th Century Russian-American philosopher and sex kitten, Ayn Rand, you wouldn't be asking that question.

BUT I DID IT MYYYYYYYYY WAAAAAAAAYYY!

I take my regrets out with the trash every night and leave 'em at the curb. Actually, the only thing I really regret is not getting the chance to see Frank Sinatra live, I grew up listening to him, and he's still my go-to date music. That and Dean Martin

That's me!

Ew. Sleazy son of a bitch, that Sinatra guy. His music makes me uncomfortable. And I'm a guy.

Oh God... I regret reading 'Atlas Shrugged'.

I regret the latter part of my secondary school years. Futile attempts to fit in and be "normal" and gain the approval of a bunch of idiots, which in retrospect were pathetic and just made me look like a total arse.

Homer-sexuality? Is that having sex with fat yellow cartoons? Or sex with Greek poets who may or may not be apocryphal?

De gustibus non disputandum. It's been my experience that the only music that's better at getting you laid than Sinatra is Skynyrd.

That still doesn't explain why I'm not getting laid, I like Lynyrd Skynyrd:(

Because you're always here.

things haven't exactly gone badly I guess but I figure I would be happier if I had never bothered with the internet

also my mother told me she was getting treated for cystitis and was going in for an operation, she ended up not being able to go to work which meant I had to help her do her shopping and housework (with no sympathy naturally) I was constantly ribbing her for being lazy and generally showing up late because I had things I'd rather be doing...

I found out at about 3pm today after an auntie blurted it out that she actually had cancer and went in to have it removed after keeping it secret from me for months. I'm a fucking jerk.

Meh, if it's any consolation, you can't really stop yourself doing something you don't know isn't appropriate.

This changes things. Luckily for you, even though I was leading you on (I apologise, I'm SUCH a cock tease!) I didn't mean it at all.

The answer presents itself. But you'd have known that if you had familiarised yourself with the etc.

That's ok, I'm not really a role model, unless you want to end up a cynical hillbilly conservative who lives out in the woods. (of course, now that I think of it, who doesn't? ;) )

I may have a new regret depending on what happens with something I did just a few moments or so ago.

What did you do?

I was extremely angry and hateful at a friend like an idiot because he'd upset another friend, only it turns out what really happened is they both upset each other, so I was basically being a gigantic stupid ass.

For which I seek forgiveness, though I don't know how likely I am to get it.

Regrets? I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention.
:tongue: Good choice for an answer - I'd have gone for the same.

I did what I had to do, and saw it through, without exemption. :)

In serious answer to the OP, I don't believe in regrets. We're the only species of animal in existence that tortures itself about the past, and we need to stop. Remember the past, learn from it, move on.

No...no real massive regrets. If I hadn't gone through all the things I've gone through, I wouldn't be where, and who I am today. I might not have met GoG. Sure, some things in life have been less than pleasant, and I've made mistakes, but I don't regret the path my life has taken. To the contrary. I rejoice in it.

Regrets well where should I start?

This for me as well (though I've never met GoG, of course). I also find that, as time passes, the things I regret, I come to regret less and less, because in the long run, things seem to tend to work out for the best after all, even in ways one wouldn't expect.

I have plenty of regrets.

Everyone has regrets I imagine.

^^this one^^

I like where i am (and who I am) too much to want to change anything, and therefore I don't regret it.

Although I did meet GoG, secretly, and he doesn't even know about it either. blah ipbnioerbmk shmarfennuggen your moma

I have more regrets that I can count. The first regret being that I never learned how to count. :(

I regret that I got drunk on 57% rum, tried to make some noodles, but nobody would let me heat them up on the fire cause I was drunk, and then eating the cold noodles.

The thought makes me feel kind of sick. I was still very drunk the next day.

Don't you just hate it when people slip alcohol into your noodles? I know I do.

I shall disagree. We are the same person, as all people are the same person. And that person is me who is also you.

Regrets? I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention.You know, i'm keeping my eye on you. RIAA is gonna want a word with you. :p

And per OP - every person of conscience does. That's what it's about.

The thing about polls is that you never, ever make it so that you can choose multiple options. If you do, then inevitably people will vote for all of the options for fun.

Which is exactly what I just did! :D

Isn't the most important call the one we make to that party-line of the collective unconscious, that string of mysterious arbitrary digits that we add up on our mental abacus and call 'us'? We call us and who answers? We do.

Heh. Now if you can work in Mr. Brownstone and It's So Easy and you got a winner there.

I'm scoping out a Brownstone in Paradise City. With the property currently depressed, it's so easy to find good deals.

Getting a decent mortgage, however, is proving to be a bitch. The interest rates are too high. They used to be little, but the little won't do it, and the little gets more and more. I ain't got no money, but it goes to show that you can always hit up Mamakin for a down payment.

I have no regrets since the concept implies the belief that things would have been so much better if I'd made different choices, and I can't know how they would have turned out. They may well have been worse.

That's not to say of course that I don't have remorse for some things I've done.

Yep, plenty. Too many to list.

De gustibus non disputandum. It's been my experience that the only music that's better at getting you laid than Sinatra is Skynyrd.So then you regret having sex with so many people with such bad taste in music?

don't bother gay people are actually pretty dull tbhHow many gay people have you experienced?

So then you regret having sex with so many people with such bad taste in music?

First of all, it's not 'so many people', I'm not Wilt Chamberlin here. Second of all, I put the music on, not them, and there's not a damn thing wrong with my taste in music.

um, if i put no then i might regret that, but if i put yes i'll regret not putting no....
so i went for both just to be sure.

I regret that chili dog I ate before I got onto the roller coaster...


Seriously though, I regret going to the college I could afford as apposed to the college I wanted.

Many, all of which my mind has seen fit to retain indefinitely as loci about which I can bitterly reminisce and bemoan my life.

Misanthropy is fun.

thats OK, if you had gone to the college you wanted you would be regretting the massive student loan debt you had racked up.

i dont regret anything....anything that i had no way of knowing was a bad idea at the time (like deciding to be there for my mother after her operation instead of before. she didnt live through it.) but i do wonder what other decisions would have resulted in.

i "regret" not being able to live through it again to see how going down different paths would have changed everything about my life.

Well, as it stands I have a small debt that at the current rate, I will never be able to pay off and a degree from a not very good school that equates to a piece of vellum toilet paper.

I think had I gone to the better school I'd have had much better prospects *shrugs*

First of all, it's not 'so many people', I'm not Wilt Chamberlin here. Second of all, I put the music on, not them, and there's not a damn thing wrong with my taste in music.I suppose if you and they are having sex so you won't have to listen to the music, it would make sense.
