1. The only good thing that can come out of a bad situation

is that you learn something from it. Like say a bad trip on LSD. You learn not to fuck around with LSD anymore.

2. a girl I wanted for 5 years never gave me a chance.....

I was broke up about it forever, blinded by my infatuation.

However, she ended up being the biggest -and I don't use this term lightly -bitch ever. Just not much of a person. Impossible to get along with etc. If I had ended up with her, like I wanted, I would have never left home, or gotten my degree or anything.

I would have been miserable and not doing anything that would make me remotely happy. I couldn't see her for who she was, I always did wonder why even our mutual friends were perplexed that someone like me would be into a person like her. I see it now though.

10. Yep, and when anyone tells me I'm paranoid and imagining things...

I show them my long white beard and tell them, "That's how I lived long enough to grow this!"

4. OK.

I had a horrible experience in a lab in which I was a PhD student. It caused me to switch from research to education, which was a great move.

6. I was involuntarily transferred

to a new school and I was furious - for about a week. It turned out to be the best school I have ever worked in and I wouldn't leave there now for anything.

7. Here's mine

A reference was going behind my back and disclosing medical information to potential employers (illegal...but try getting a lawyer to go after the case was a nightmare), so I was forced to reexamine my current field and decided a change is due. I am still without work (2 years), but I know what I don't want...which is a start! :)

Another one...I was "outed" to my parents. After they knew, I didn't give a shit who knew and came out and went on to be an activist, then became a mentor for gay youth.

8. I fell out of the car when I was 7

and I've worn my seat belt ever since.

9. I married far too young . . .

the first time, but I became a better person as a direct result of living with someone so different from myself and from helping my ex-husband raise his four sons. They've all become fine young men, and I consider their continued presence in my life a blessing.
