Nothing I am willing to share...Well, actually no. I regret not going away to college. I was always (and still am) a commuter, I should have gone away. I missed that whole college-y experience... Moon in Libra on the 9th house cusp conjunct Pluto in the 8th... IP: Logged |

Oh, wow... so many things. The one thing I truly regret is treating my first boyfriend like **** . I didn't know how to break up with someone the right way, so I just treated him like I hated him even though I really just wanted to be friends. I was 17, so obviously there was more drama than needed. Five years and three girlfriends later, he still hasn't forgiven me. Give it a Virgo to never forget. EDIT: Libra Moon, 1st House IP: Logged |

@downtomars Are you in New York City? I would imagine being in a such big city wouldn't matter. I had a few friends at NYU who felt like college wasn't really college because they were more concerned about surviving The City than going to class.IP: Logged |

My first relationship I really regret was with a Virgo Sun...drove me crazy after awhile with their constant insecurity, talk of marriage and easily depressed attitude (I'm SURE it was just them, not blaming all Virgos!!!) I suppose I regret that person. They were maybe my third formal relationship and it was nawt good... our common friends still say that they complain about me when I'm brought up. Obviously not over me. :C Capricorn Moon in Fifth. IP: Logged |

I am in the NYC suburbs and went/go to school in NYC. I wanted to be fully immersed in school, I always think that I should have gone somewhere in the Midwest. The commute was one of the reasons why I dropped out when I was 19. I probably would have dropped out if I went away though so, I guess it is good that I didn't. Everything happens for a reason... ETA: Last night I actually had a dream that I was on a flight to Milwaukee and I was staying in a Howard Johnson (blech, never!) and I needed a rental car... Okay, anyway... IP: Logged |

LOL ok that sounds seriously fun! Too bad I'm too paranoid and know that in this day and age, doing that wouldn't be the safest thing.

I always regretted choosing to stay home alone and experience my temporary freedom by getting high with people who gave two ***** about me while my parents went to my paternal grandma's funeral.

I regret not pushing my parents to help me pursue a performing career. I grew up with a very unique vocal range and a love of performing in front of an audience. My parents were very active with my creative growth, but after their divorce, stopped nurturing that aspect of me totally. I took up smoking and a fear of performing in direct protest, which resulted in me messing up my voice and acquiring severe stage fright. When I was in high school, the Mickey Mouse Club held auditions in San Francisco and I made my mom drive me up there to participate. Sadly because I was so nervous and hadn't performed in a while, I botched the dancing and was dismissed before I could sing. If I had made the MMC, I would have been performing with Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Ryan Gossling, Christina Aguilera, etc... I don't regret my experiences, I just see now that I had to do the work I expected my parents to have done. It kinda sounds weird to expect that out of my 9 year old self, but if I knew then what I know now, I would have made it happen for my self.

Okay, you asked for stories and I am full of stories...Let's see what benign things are in the regret file...When I was in high school I didn't date much. This is mostly because I am A.A. and my school and crowd was predominantly white. I liked white guys (still obviously) and that required some intense investigation to find out "does he like black girls?", "are his parents racists?", "does he talk to other black people?" Back then, even though it was the 90s, it was rare that there was an interracial thing going on. I actually remember one time a popular white guy (Aquarius) asked a black girl (Capricorn) to the prom and her ex beat him up and it almost turned into this all out race war. Not pretty. That was the type of climate I was dealing with...My high school boyfriend (Capricorn) was white and he went to another school. He saw me on the mall one time and kind of stalked until he found out who I was (that is why I love Caps - persistence!). We would see each other at track meets and we used to hang out at the mall but we mainly we used to talk on the phone, remember those days? Ah, young lust... Anyway...I would have a new crush on a weekly basis and I always asked the guys out only to get turned down. OR the drippiest guys (my Gemini guy friends) used to ask me out, it sucked! Years later these guys would all claim "Oh, I had the biggest crush on you!". One (Virgo) even tried to seduce me eight years later and he was dating one of my old friends! Uh, too little, too late, I am over it... But there was this one guy who was a part of the older male countergroup to my younger female group (you know how that is, at every grade level there was the same "type" of clique and they used to intermingle sometimes). He was so cute. He was pale but had a few light freckles, black hair and very dark eyes with thick eyebrows, a squarish face, slender but long limbs and wide, perfectly square shoulders. He wasn't that tall, maybe my height (5'10") or an inch taller. He sounds like a Scorpio now that I am typing this up, I always thought Aries for some reason though. I guess he was Mars-y to me. Also, his hands always looked like they were balled up in a fist as he walked, he was skinny but tough looking.....Ahh, those shoulders in those flannel shirts with the t-shirt under it and the rolled up sleeves (this was the grunge era)... This dude used to stare at me all of the time. Not in a weird way but that crush-y, puppy dog way. I mean, if he was talking to someone and I walked in the room he would get temporarily distracted, lose his train of thought and periodically look at me throughout his conversation. And if he walked into a room our eyes would lock automatically and I would get shy and turn away. Then someone would pull him away to talk or something. I'd notice he was looking again and I'd turn shy again. This was all happening in the hallway (and cafeteria)! LOL. We never had a real conversation though. One time he shyly said "Uh, hi..." and I managed to squeak out a "Hi!" but we could never talk because we never got a freakin' chance! His friends were so loud and obnoxious and one of them came along and literally pulled him away. He didn't come to our parties either! If he came to our parties then I am sure that something would have happened, you know, the whole getting drunk off of a tablespoon of booze and a "hey, let's talk in this an empty room" kind of thing. I always wanted him to show up but he used to hang out with the "cooler" sector of the older (junior) male countergroup and they rarely came to the younger (freshmen), dorkier chick parties (less booze, less drugs, fewer "hot" chicks - you've been to high school, you understand). I was very bold when it comes to asking guys out (and, I was not afraid of rejection obviously) so I would have gladly made a move. HOWEVER, two of my best friends were in love with him!!! Oh, they had his name on their notebooks and in their lockers, head over heels, dumbazz stuff. I am a very loyal (Leo!) friend and I would never hurt either one of them, not in a million years so I never did anything. I couldn't ask about him either because, as I have stated many times, I am Captain Obvious and they would have known that I was thinking about him in "that way". Plus they were super paranoid and territorial (Scorpio and Virgo) and I don't enjoy conflict... If I knew what sh!tty friends they both would turn out to be (Neptune in the 11th) I would have licked his face in front of them or something!!! I wish I was like that because they would have actually done that very thing. Always out for themselves no matter who it hurt. I am so not like that, there were other fish in the sea. I still think about this guy though and I don't know why. I know he went away to college (I should have followed him! See above) but I don't know...He is probably married to someone who looks like me now, because he was obviously enamored, lol! I tried to find him on Facebook but, no luck I regret not doing something anyway. We could have had a little secret thing going on! Actually, that would not have appealed to me back then so there goes that theory...Everything happens for a reason. I met the Cap the next year so... I kinda miss high school. I wish I could do everything over again... Moon in Libra, 9th house IP: Logged |
