Looking back, over my shoulder...

Wow,
Just spent the last 30 mins looking over my old threads I'd started (think it was inspired by the 'how long have you been a member for?' thread). It's weird to see how you've grown, developed, and changed over the past years, all the people who have come and gone, the things that were important in your life at the time, how you felt at a particular time. It's almost like an interactive diary in a way. Having been a member of these boards for so long now (and not ever really seeing me leave any time soon), it's cool to look back on my time here and think back to those times.
Feeling very melancholy now

I've seen my old posts sometimes, and I don't seem that different somehow, although I'm sure that I've changed much.
Yeah old posts rock.
looking baaaahaaack... oooveeer my shoulder...
dood oddoood doo do od odood doo doooooo
It's not... Photos don't record your thoughts... they're just memory joggers which you can then rewrite easily so you forget the embarrassing stuff; reading posts you wrote ages ago is like meeting your former self and realising what a sadda you really were... and may still be.
Kind of embarrassing but it's like a diary, Things there i forgot about. Think i'll have another look through actually
And I just found this pic of me when I was like 18, FPMSL, what a tard.

I'd have thought that too if it was a Wet Wet Wet song
I don't have any old posts.
I was so naive and just amazingly different to how I am now.
Even old threads from 2002 like 'what are you wearing' when I read, what I was wearing, its things I wouldn't be seen DEAD in now!
Kermit i know you're not being serious but erm. When I was looking for my old posts I found LOADS of yours. Back in the day when we actually had a laugh i found one where you announced yours and Ellies engagement and I was offering myself as a bridesmaid. Made me think.
Oh well, I know that I've changed for the better since 2002, for sure
J, I thought you had left. Good to hear you're getting on ok.
I think that old posts are embarrassing, but they're kinda funny in a weird way. Like, when you think back to when you were a kid and thought that LA Sports trainers (you know, the ones with the lights on the back of them) were the coolest thing, but now you know they weren't :no: (or was that just me?). While things in the past may be embarrassing, they're still part of who and what you are today.
