I'll go for the Secret World...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

When I was in the last year of High School, I miserably failed Greek by half a point. When it came the time to submit the average of my marks, i lied and placed myself at a 6/10, which was the 'pass' grade.
The teacher didn't check. I never told anyone.

I already posted earlier, but since a bunch of other people are posting things from when they were in grade school...

One time I accidentally called a kid fat (I didn't mean it like that, but that's how it came out sounding) and he was obviously hurt, and I felt really bad. I never really got the chance to tell him I was sorry, and it's one of those things that I still feel bad about to this day. I make a big effort to not say things that offend people now, because of it.

I once accidentally stole someone's calculator and never gave it back.

Hemmingjay is being awesome again?

I have an incredible weakness for sappy romance stories.

[conciso]

Thanks, hemmingjay!

I know my mother got rid of my beloved cat because my stepfather didn't like the animal. The history she told me then, I had 13, was that the cat probably ran away and later couldn't find his way home.

So many secrets...

I borrowed my math teachers algebra textbooks when i was in last year of high school and never gave them back. I even used one of them now as textbook in my first year in uni.

I am in. I have a lot of these, so I'll be doing some redistributing if I win.

I talk about how awesome DF is all the time, but I have hardly played since 40d.

[NobodyPro]

Awesome as always, hemmingjay.

In a fit of frustration I once punched my little brother's arm until it bruised yellow. I still feel awful about it.

[Moghjubar]

Sure, why not, in.

I was very religious as a kid, but always weird. One time I took a crochet needle to recess and crocheted part of a scarf instead of playing around like basically everyone else in the 1st grade.

Already posted, earlier...just responding.

Hah, I'm still of school age, and I always have a knitting needle (or two!) sitting in my bag because knitting is very calming, and you get cool stuff at the end. Although I'm a guy, this has led to very few incidents, all of which were hilarious. (One time near the end of the year, a group of girls sitting across the room all pointed at me and basically yelled, "IS HE KNITTING?"...I broke out laughing.) All the attacks for my "girly" behaviors ended by Freshman year, I suppose.

I'm in, Hemmingjay, you're a god.

I always had an "overactive" imagination, and up until the end of high school I would go into the forests on my property and play imaginary games with myself. Hell, I still would if I had the time/was home more often. Of course, I didn't tell anyone, because doing something like that in high school? Instant social exile right there, haha. I did find some people who like to LARP, and I went with them once, but it's not my thing. I prefer being alone.

[Mistercheif]

Thanks for this Hemmingjay!

I am legitimately afraid that if something ever causes me to lose my mind, or I get severely depressed, or something, I would really hurt people.  Especially now that I know that in addition to my decade of martial arts experience, and my decent accuracy with a bow and arrow, I am also a pretty good shot with both a .22 rifle and a 9mm pistol.  And this scares me. A lot.

Admittedly, I also tend to imagine the worst case scenarios, so maybe my fear isn't too justified.

And thanks again for doing this Hemmingjay, it feels good to actually put that out there.

[BigD145]

I will sometimes watch art streams while playing SS13. Naughty art streams. Many have great music playing.

[Vector]

All right.  No one knows this other than me, and now you.

I cheated on a geometry final my freshman year of high school.

I don't know what I thought I was doing.  I was really close to getting a C in the class and when I went up to the front of the room to ask the teacher a question, I glanced down at the other students' exams as I walked past them--I couldn't figure out that the equation I'd been given to graph was a circle.  Then I changed my answer when I sat back down (I had been graphing a hyperbola or something).  I still ended up getting a B- or something in the class.

I've done a lot of less-than-honorable things in my life due to being really scared.  I've felt guilty, but not necessarily enough to stop (though I don't cheat on exams anymore).  At the same time, at risk of waffling, a lot of it is doing something bad and then realizing I shouldn't do that some time later.  Like being scared to cite sources on my homework for fear that no one will see my argument as original, or for fear that everyone will know I couldn't do the work myself.

I know that I'm not special, but I really wish I were.

That's the real reason why I'm taking a break before graduate school.  I know I won't be able to succeed as long as I feel like this.

Something lighter, that very few people know:

The longest-standing romantic fantasy I've had is to go backpacking with someone I love.  But, when I really am fond of someone, I fantasize about sewing them shirts and embroidering all over.  What I want in return is little presents that show that they know me quite well, like flan or a little something that reminded them of me.  But I'm scared of coming off materialistic.

I have a box of all those little gifts from old paramours and chums--a little chest I made in middle school shop class.  I dig it out and look at everything in there every so often.  Sometimes I think of them as war trophies, sometimes they're just mementos.  They're nice to have, anyhow.  I'm not the sort of person who could get rid of them.

When I was a small child I would steal chocolate bars from my parents.
