Besides, there's something very silly about people who are ashamed of themselves for liking something whatever it was 5 years ago. Every 5 years they look back and say oh I was such an ass. Ergo, currently..
:D

I used to write in a weblog about my life when I was 20. I wish I could delete them all but I have forgotten the password. Whenever I read a few lines I end up asking myself if I was really that ridiculous/stupid. To think that in 7 years time I'll have the same opinion about today's Hoori makes me think twice before saying/writing everything which comes to my mind.

I do feel ashamed of a lot of things I used to do when I was younger, maybe even less than 5 years ago. I think the fact you care enough to feel ashamed for it is good enough.

Well, whatever you used to think back then you did based on what you knew. Now you know more, so you think differently. It's really not a big deal.

Ashamed of what you do/did is different than ashamed for what you used to like or think. Especially with trivial things like taste in music.

Got home from Paris a couple days ago, and i won't have a job for the next month or so! So i'll have plenty of time to come chill on my fave place in da world! WOOT WOOT

WHATS NEW MY CRISPIES?!
Welcome back, Katie! Would be nice to have you back in the fold again soon. :)

OH No!! there has been fighting?!
'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime butthurt.

i actually have the same cringe when i watch music videos i liked back in the 90s :D But you're right it does capture something, an experience about your life and becomes synonymous with it
Kinda like freshmen and sophomores in college who decide that Ayn Rand is the bomb and they want to become Objectivists. :sergio:

oh it's a horrible cringe-inducing show alright :D
Look, last night I laughed my ass off at Workaholics, which involved characters sodomizing a side of beef on someone else's bed in order to make their own brand of beef jerky. I'm not above lowbrow. :D

I doubt it. 20->27 is a pretty major leap. 27->34 not as much. It's a ratio, as Abel sez. As you get older, you've more the same person for longer periods of time.

You do certain things because you like them. :D
As long as we stick to being vague I wouldn't say someone is ridiculous for saying they're ashamed of "something I did" like maybe slash the tires of someone's car. But if that thing was singing in the shower then yeah it's a ridiculous thing to be ashamed of.

I still keep one, and have since I was 17 or so. So for over 10 years, wow...

Then we're in agreement there.

Another cool thing about getting old is that you lose your sense of shame though. How else do you explain mom jeans?

But yeah, I can talk about how Kim Cattrall hasn't done anything to eclipse her mastery in the movie Mannequin opposite Andrew McCarthy ... and say that with a straight face. :agree:
