Dear past self....

[Jowy]

great thread.

- don't blow off the chance for awkward high school sex to talk about xenogears on the internet
- have some personality and don't let the anxiety keep you from speaking your mind; you'll do it to excess later in life otherwise
- buy the swords and just hide them in the backyard. it's the only thing you were ever fantastic at and don't let anyone tell you otherwise
- walk the extra mile to the smart kid's high school and apply yourself a little bit more.
- don't just stand there and watch the people you love destroy themselves; you could have saved their lives.
- don't be like ben affleck in chasing amy
- you may hate them now, but they'll grow to depend on you later in life. cherish your family.
- stop watching office space. when you experience a hawaiian shirt day in real life, it drives you to full on insanity.
- lift some weights, you'd look like brock samson now if you'd have started sooner.
