My Internet Regrets

In life, we all have things we regret; and on the internet, they're immortalized forever. The list below includes only some of my regrets, there are probably hundreds more in the depths of cyberspace... Say "cheesy drunken selfie!!". Oh dear.

1. That one tweet I posted that got me into a huge fight with one of my best friends that frankly, I don't think we ever recovered from...

2. Helping my mum get Facebook 
I thought she only wanted it to re-connect with her sister who lives in the US and hasn't seen for a billion years. Nope, she just wanted it to stalk me whilst I'm away at uni. I learnt that the hard way. Damn.

3. Facebook in general
I do not fancy being reminded that a guy I turned down in year 10 is now celebrating his second anniversary with a SERIOUSLY hot girl, whilst I have sat in the same position eating Cheetos for 7 hours straight, totally alone.

4. Most of my selfies 
They always look so good at the time. Internet trickery.

5. Posting a story to 'My Life Is Twilight'
Just, don't even go there.

6. Every single Piczo site I owned 
If you're sitting there thinking 'I cannot relate to this' then you are lying. You know you are. Also, I only just found out that Piczo permanently closed down last December - what!?

7. Blocking my sister on twitter
She got really upset and I felt bad so I allowed her back into my elite fold after 2 days.

8. Every drunk tweet
Most people call their boyfriends when they get hella drunk, I however, for some reason, feel the need to tweet dumb stuff. Most of it doesn't even make sense. WHY?

9. Hotmail
I had a Hotmail account for around 8 years, and it got hacked approximately 3000 times. I'd be surprised if I'm not filed under 'girl who tries to sell me cheap viagra' in all my contacts address books. Now it's Gmail all the way.

10. The 'Capitalising Every Word In A Sentence' Phase
I stopped doing this after someone on, wait for it... a 'Sims 2' forum (yes, believe it) told me to stop. It truly was a life changing moment.

11. That time I stalked the Facebook and twitter pages of my ex boyfriend's new and past girlfriends
(We've all been there, right?) I hid under my duvet and cried my eyes out for hours. Then I told myself to suck it up and never ever do that again. And I haven't. So far.

However, I am immensely proud that I do not own a Pinterest board named 'my wedding' - not even a secret one! It almost makes all that other crap not seem so bad. Almost.

What are some of your internet regrets? You can deny it all you want but nothing gets 'permanently deleted' on the internet. (Basically, tell me I'm not alone in any of these things, please!)
