...not jumping into Lake Champlain (the other great Lake) after swimming in the other five the day before.

...missing Lady Gaga opening for C4RT in 1976.

Non... je ne regrette rien.

....skipping out on the Worcester Hoover show. ....never seeing fIREHOSE.

...some of the things I've written that are now available online.

Did you watch that video? It was straight out of The Onion.

Beyond what Miriam said, I think I regret drinking an entire bottle of champagne solo @ Conor's / TGL's Millenium bash in rapid succession and then precluding others from using their bathroom for an indefinite period of time.

Funny. That's in my "don't regret" category.

Seconded. Metric New Year!

Fine. I'll bite. Although I have to say that in my book regret lies in the same category as jealousy and envy - unproductive/destructive emotions to be vanquished whenever possible. But... yeah. ...deciding to study for my Statistics of Psychology finals instead of going to see the the Pixies/Nirvana show in Boston, 1992. Within 2 years the Pixies had broken up and Kurt was dead. And I flunked the exam anyway. Stupid statistics. I didn't hallucinate that show, did I? Did that really happen? Was anyone on Rideside there?

I remember the fabled Bullet LaVolta/Smashing Pumpkins/Nirvana show, as well as Nirvana/Breeders/Half Japanese, but I went to neither.

I regret not going to Jamaica with the UNH concert choir my Sophomore year. I told the old Jamaican director that I couldn't afford it, and told myself that I didn't want to go to Jamaica with a bunch of lame music nerds. Both were kinda true, but... ...the biggest reason was that at the time I didn't really know anyone in the choir, and I was scared to go on this trip and be completely alone in what I imagined would be a group full of goody-two-shoes cliques. It was just easier to 'do my own alt-thing' than to make friends with these people. And as it turns out, some of those music nerds were actually pretty cool, and had a fantastic time on the trip.

Lil Ladew (not yet even out of high school no less) hooked me up with sold out tix to Nirvana/Breeders/Half Japanese. I made sure she didn't get flattened in that hellish hockeyrink. Good Show. Probably one of the best I've ever seen.

Dont regret the party at all - just locking myself in a bathroom and all...

Yay Fitchburg. I kinda liked the Breeders a bit more than Nirvana, but maybe just by a hair. I don't think an actual note was played during the 20 minute Half Japanese set.

... not sneaking out with Jen O. to see Husker Du at the Orpheum on their Warehouse tour when I was 15. Mom promised they'd be back when I was older, but SHE LIED. For what it's worth, Jen said that the show sucked.

...not applying to the one grad program in the greater boston area that lined up with my research interests, because i was so hell-bent on Drastic Relocation when i was doing all my apps. ...not working harder sooner on overcoming my serious and significant shyness (but better late than never, right? i'm always late anyway). ...not pushing harder for guitar lessons when i was 12 and the idea first occurred to me. i'd be *awesome* by now.

Wow.
