» Impulse buys
Time to post methinks.
My friend and I once bought two tequila shots on impulse the first day we met and now we're engaged...so if you call the price of a shot leading to the cost of wedding based activities a disaster or triumph, it certainly is an impulse caused event. I also have a hobby of going into shops and asking about their display boxes/posters. Basically in a sort of 'can I have that' way. It started with just asking about smallish items from favourite games/films but has extended into massive sale posters from most high street stores, twelve unwanted mannequins, uniforms from marks and spencer, woolworths (retro value one day i'm sure) and john lewis. That's not exactly impulse buying but it's certainly filling my house

» Things we do to fit in
oh god, fitting in...
Changing my entire personality and tastes and style just to get in with a lovely young lady I met in that cesspit known as uni halls.
Didn't work of course, but then I started being my long haired, slightly camp, model painting self again and she was right there...
I still cringe at what I turned into just for her though
Lesson there?
Standard uni peer pressure situations as well -cigarettes, drugs etc. mercifully remained addiction free though (fingers crossed)
Wow this was too long for a first go, Apologies.

» School Days
Odd but..
one of my most vivid primary school memories is the day of the bomb scare. We all had to be evacuated from the school, some even had to be taken to stay at RAF Lyneham for a bit because some farmer had found an unexploded jerry bomb in his field. Disappointing in the end, one of those tiny bomb disposal detonations, being a small boy I of course wantd it to go off properly.
No interesting secondary stories, although I did once make out with the young, pert female teacher I'd had a crush on, but this was years after leaving.
Sorry for lack of interest, I planned for more but it just wasn't on the cards
