One time i deleted the games from my calculator because I was playing them during class and for some insane reason I thought that deleting the games would make me pay more attention during class. I was wrong. I also didn't consider the other tomes when I play the games, like during lunch and and my free period. Worst of all I can't get them back because I forgot who game them to me. I wish that there was some way to stop moments of insanity. I really want those games back. I have moments of insanity about once a week.

Well, I bought the Mercury dimes, then there was this conversation: Me: "What will you give me for this dime?" Store: "Well, how about I just take that dime." Me: "Okay." *hand over dime, leave store* Then I realized what I just did and stared into space for a while.

Yep, been there too. Except it was black powder I had taken out of some fireworks, and I was poking it with a lit match - <i>not</i> a smart combination for a 10-year-old! :-( And now here we are, older (luckily) and wiser (presumably), right? Uh, right? :-) Trevor, welcome to the Middle Zone!

The one I remember most clearly (out of hundreds) happened many, many years ago but my brother has never let me forget it. I was trying to impress him and the rest of the family with my barbecue cooking talents - something ALL Australian males need to do as a rite of passage or whatever. The firewood wasn't burning to my satisfaction so I thought I'd give it a helping hand. I should have used the kerosene but somehow picked up the lawn mower fuel can instead. The resulting dramatic "Whump" left my eyebrows a little less bushy than before. And my brother has never let me forget it. Okay - I’ll ‘fess up too.

I drank some, but didn't seal the bottle properly, and before I knew it I was sitting in my own Pepsi. I ended up sitting in my own Pepsi all the way home!

Perhaps the confession itself was today's moment of insanity for me! Looks like I’m the only one brave enough (or dumb enough) to confess.
