Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
this one is hard, because there are the obvious ones (going to L.A., irish boy blindness, that fateful journal entry, the mouse house), and so on. but you know what? i fully appreciate the fact that those things happened. they taught me something and doing something different might have changed my whole trajectory. and i like where i am now. and what i'm doing. and who i'm doing it with. i love it. i won't wish that shit away.
so we'll go with some minor ones. the ones that won't change anyone's lives should i take them back.
1. the only secret i carry is something i said when i was young to someone who was very kind to me. it was cruel and if i could change any one thing in my life, out of all the stupid things i've ever done, this would be it. they probably don't even remember it anymore, but i do.
2. i wish i hadn't ordered the salmon at baker's square. i'm pretty sure that was the culprit behind the food poisoning.* although experts agree that it also could have been the cream pie. they are more likely to harbor bacteria than anything. even fish.
3. i wish i hadn't blown up at you that one time. (and by you, i mean everyone i like. and by that one time, i mean any time i get carried away and just blurt things out.)
4. i wish i hadn't left katie off my list of favorite new people i met this past year. i swear to god, i mentally put her in the category of people i met in 2009. and she totally called me on it.
5. i wish i hadn't done whatever combination of things i did that made david and stephie cut off contact with me. i think i have an idea...but i'm not sure if that's completely right or if there's more to it that i totally am oblivious to...
6. i wish i hadn't kept drinking the hot chocolate that night at chatterbox. it was awful and i should have sent it back and told them it tasted like hot water that had been flavored with one melted chocolate chip. i thought that's just how it was, since i'd never had their cocoa. and then, the next time i was there, i tried to advise noe against it. she said she'd always liked their hot cocoa. so either her taste buds are stupid (which i highly doubt), or i should have sent that hot chocolate back that one time. tragic. this haunts me.
*i take this back. i wanted to lose 5 pounds and this did the trick. i still haven't gained it back. be careful what you wish for.
