so, today i have been listening to at the the drive in
they are a band i really liked when i was in school and as it turns out, i still like them now

looking through my music collection though, i did like some shit in school. looks like i bought a few albums by system of a down, which i now associate with smelly goth clubs.

anyway, what did you like in school but are now embarrased to have anything to do with?

Not sure actually...most music I liked back then I still like...albeit not quite so fantatically.
I'm more embarrassed by the sort of person I was. Things I did and said. When I think about some of these things I cringe so much my skin starts to peel.

One of the good things about me, that i've always been quite pleased with.... is that i'm not embarssed by what I like. I like whatever I like and don't care if other people think i'm an idiot.
There's some quote by Simon Pegg saying thats the sign of a true geek.

For example
- Hollyoaks, this, bubblegum flavoured stuff (except bubblegum), ITV sometimes, Offspring, alchopops, using a chopstick to scratch my back, supermatt....etc.

It's not marketed as bubblegum scent, in fact I think it's probably mallow rather than bubblegum.

Excellent series, I watched the first two episodes and stopped, as I wasn't hugely enjoying it
Got back into it a couple of months back, watched the entire thing over the space of about a week, superb.

But yes, GoT is very good. There seems to have beeen quite a bit of decent American TV over the last couple of years. US comedy has been really good too.

I've always had eclectic tastes in music.
I still like most of the stuff I liked when I was younger, and I'm not ashamed to say I love shit pop. If I like what I'm listening to, then who cares if no-one else likes it?

Having said that, I did buy some shocking singles when I was at school. Heroes in a half shell, anyone?

Never listened to At The Drive In
As I've said many times, I've been a fan of System Of A Down for years, despite finding two of their albums to be complete shite.
