when I was in middle school, I, a chubby white kid, got very into Dance Dance Revolution
to the point where I started downloading home brew emulators so I could practice, just throw the step chart on the screen, mentally approximate where the pad would be on the floor, and Dance Dance along at home
then I thought it’d be a good idea to put that on my school laptop and...perform for my schoolmates
I hav vivid memories of thirty or so people crammed into a hallway watching me do my thing to Burn the Floor, before a teacher encountered us, shook his head and went “...okay, Alex, if you think this is a good idea, fine.”
I later tried to have a dance-off at an arcade to impress a group of girls

sports are ok but ONLY if within 6 feet of a girl

The only thing I can think of off hand that was embarrassing to me was after my cool astronomy teacher died of cancer I lashed out at my color guard team during practice. That was grief but I still felt bad about it afterward.
Once during gym class we were doing some weight training and I exercised too hard and I just lay down on a blue mat at the end of class and farted like crazy because my bowels really loosen up when I exercise too hard and the gym teacher came over to see if I was alright and had to endure that stink.
In highschool a girl found my live journal, or xanga or whatever the fuck we were using, and told me she liked me writing (my writing was mostly stolen quotes from Mordheim and 40k and shit)
She asked me to write her a poem, so I wrote her a poem about computer programming and existential dread.

I've talked about this before, but I got bullied enough by jockish kids that my default position even now is to be the worst kind of "lol sportsball" asshole
Like if someone talks about how much they love a given sports team or something I feel an instant disconnect and depending how passionate about sports they are I'll feel vaguely threatened, and I fight it down because that's an absurd way to think but I was definitely trained from a young age to regard people who like sports with caution and anxiety

We just really hated being the only kids who were always stuck in school during track days
Linkin Park's Meteora being my first CD is a bresh of fresh air compared to some of the other inherently cringy stuff I was perennialy guilty of
Up until I hit 21 I basically sucked, though I'd like to think the positive trend has its roots way earlier than that. Most of the dumb fuckery was very well intentioned.

I did not
You committed crimes, so obviously you were cool.
some steal for the bill

Oddly we didn’t talk much after that.
(Boy was I bad at reading signs back then.)

first cd I'm pretty sure was the salt n pepa album with Shoop on it.
My sister still randomly sings Team Rocket's Rockin' to embarrass me.

That evolution song about how everything changes has gotten me through most of my life
Scott & Scott Approved, still sounds extremely bad
Savage Garden's first album was and still is good!
My first CD purchase was Savage Garden and Queen's Greatest Hits I & II and I have no regrets about either.
Yuppers
I can't remember if I bought Middle of Nowhere or Baby One More Time first. Either way I didn't have a CD player until, like 2001

I don't remember the first CD I ever bought myself, but it may have been Dookie.

And of course that’s all my family remembers
Also I once got sent home because I farted
The Devil Went Down to Georgia, and then eleven blank tracks
I made sure you were online before I made this post so I could be sure that you'd get here in time to make this response
