Not as in sex/drugs/alcohol or whatever but just general ridiculousness. I used to:

  • leave my straighteners ON every morning so they'd be on ALL DAY just so when I came in from school they would be hot enough to re-straighten my hair immediately. Confused God forbid I go twenty seconds with unstraightened hair. When I think of the fire risk!!!!
  • Refuse to wear my coat even in 3 degree weather because it wasn't cool to wear your coat
  • Carry my PE kit to school in a JD sports bag because that was the done thing, despite having a perfectly good rucksack
  • At one point, teeny tiny little Nike "just do it" backpacks were in but they weren't big enough to fit any of your stuff in. So I used to carry on e about (which just held my pencil case and my keys) and carry all my books seperately in my arms

I can't wait til my son is that age and starts doing equally daft things.

I was also a Skirt Criminal. Used to wear some sort of ankle-length cotton petticoat with at least two gypsy skirts layered over the top of it. I think I was aiming for a 'peasant' look. No peasant every owned that many skirts. I used to accidentally shut them in doors when I was slamming them and flouncing off. Ridiculous.

Also many Sun-In incidents from which I never learned a damn thing.
