Regrets

Want to know one of my biggest regrets?

The thing I think about when I wake in the night?

Tripping Steve Higgs in 12th grade.

Deb said...: LOL... Jerry Aguirre confessed to me at our 20-year reunion that he regrets tripping me in junior high as I was coming around the final bend in a 500-meter race. He said he didn't want to lose to a girl. He didn't mean to break my wrist. (I've broken that wrist a few times since.) I didn't even remember it until he confessed. Maybe Steve has forgotten it, too?; April 29, 2008 at 11:11 AM
HC said...: You know what's great? One day when he's bored at work he'll google himself and see this and think, "That Mrs. F is one class dame."; April 29, 2008 at 1:20 PM
Mrs Furious said...: Haley,
LOL!! I was actually thinking... "hmm I wonder if he'll ever find this... perhaps..."

Deb,
At least Jerry tripped you for a reason.; April 29, 2008 at 1:34 PM
artsci said...: I sent one of my best friends a nasty note in the 5th grade (and had turned the whole class against her), then lied about it to her mother. I got what I deserved when the whole class (of course we're talking about all of the girls - the boys couldn't be bothered with our petty dramas) then turned on me.

I'm going to be 36 soon, and I still regret being such a "b" and a coward at the same time.

Mrs Furious said...: Amy P,
Isn't it funny the things that just stick with us? I'm sure I've done worse and yet this is one of those things I just can't let go. I mean I've been really embarrassed about it for the past 13 years.; April 29, 2008 at 5:57 PM
P.O.M. said...: I was going to confess something horrible I did in 9th grade to a nerdy girl. But I still hate to admit it. It really shows how much of a bitch I can be.; April 29, 2008 at 6:43 PM
Mrs Furious said...: P.O.M.,
Do it!! It might make you feel better.
Plus now I need to know ;); April 29, 2008 at 6:59 PM
P.O.M. said...: Oh fuck it.
Ok - don't judge me. I was in 9th grade and VERY concerned about popularity.

I (and my bitchy friends - I was not ALONE) wrote a fake love letter to this nerdy (and really heavy) girl. And she totally thought it was real.

I think I've paid my karma already with that one though.; April 29, 2008 at 7:53 PM
Mrs Furious said...: P.O.M.,
I don't hate you.
I may have been privy to something similar when I was in 5th grade... although it was a phone call and not a letter... damn it what was that girls name?!?

Hmmm... this is making me think of other regrets... this could easily become a weekly feature ;); April 29, 2008 at 8:48 PM
megO said...: okay i have to remind you that phil higuera hid in a giant pile of leaves and then scared the shitola out of steve higgs as steve jumped in. sure, it was our idea, but phil did it. i don't know why, but some people just lend themselves to this role in life.

when that hall incident went down, it was the work of a greater force. i mean the timing, the precision! it was not you. it was The Force.

god that was funny. sick but funny.; April 29, 2008 at 9:05 PM
Deb said...: I am cracking up over the confessions. I can't even go down that path, because I'm such an awful person that it would just get embarrassing.; April 29, 2008 at 9:21 PM
Mrs Furious said...: MegO,
LOL... I forgot about the leaves. God that was funny.

It's true about the timing of trip though... it was almost like it was happening in slow motion.; April 29, 2008 at 9:39 PM
P.O.M. said...: This would be a very fun weekly feature!; April 30, 2008 at 12:05 PM
