[Shook]

I honestly never expected to become very sociable again after my horrid run through elementary school (read: years of bullying, i became rather paranoid and reclusive for a time). Meeting the right people can do a lot to help, i s'pose. I'm still introverted by nature, but everyone i see on a daily basis are people i get along with quite well. c: (and now i respond to unknown people with a positive attitude, whereas i'd previously be very cautious)

I also never expected to become any good at spriting/pixel art/anything arty. It started out as a necessity in making mods for Cortex Command, where i was primarily interested in the coding. Since i constantly caught flak for making horrid sprites, and since there are a lot of talented spriters in that community, i was eventually poked in the right direction. Ever since that point, i've progressed ever-so-slowly on my own, and now i can actually see what my things are supposed to be. On a related note, i never expected my deviantART page to reach over 7000 pageviews.

also i never expected my stubble to become SO ABRASIVE i mean holy shit man i could carve wood with this chin

[Loud Whispers]

Never expected the world to end.

Still don't expect the world to end... Well I do, just not any time soon.

CERN blew us up. Fun times. Headcrabs everywhere.

It would be some awesome if that actually happend.
Except for the part where i would get chomped by zombies.

But it did.
Or maybe it didn't.
If it did, how would we know? Headcrabs. Applied directly to the forehead.

[MaximumZero]

Never thought I'd be changing my major, but here I am.

[Nilocy]

I never expected to be the person who I am now.

I never expected to be comfortable with being a transwomen and seeing myself as passable.

I never expected to be ok with doing many different types of drugs.

I never expect to be told I'm probably depressed.

I never expected to fail 3rd year uni, and going to have to resit it, as a result of dealing with my trans issues.

I never expected to have such an accepting family.

I never expected that I'd be meeting fellow clanmates in London tomorrow.

[Errol]

I never expected that my favorite school subjects would end up being Latin and Maths.

I never expected actually becoming as good in school as I was towards the end. Before that, it went down steadily, but it actually got better to the end.

I never expected writing so many RtDs in Bay12. I actually signed up to open my first RtD. And that got me into writing in general.

I never expected that I could integrate that well into society, considering I have Asperger's.

I never expected that a single video game character could become something of a leitmotif for my creative works.

I never expected that I voluntarily play the piano now.


...I never expected the way my fetishes turned out to be.

[The Fool]

Headcrabs. Applied directly to the forehead.

Sigged.

Your life sounds like mine, just a few chapters ahead.  Congrats

[nenjin]

I never expected to literally be handed a job that's a good fit for me and is full of like-minded people who share my interests. Especially not in America at this point in time. I feel really blessed because of it and am eternally grateful to Jah/The Great Spirit/The World/<insert your power of choice here>. Because I sure as hell didn't do anything proactive to get myself here.

Have you drawn blood with it yet?

I never expected to cut myself on my beard.
I also never expected to have NOT gotten high on any illegal substances. I thought I'd have explored the cosmos by now, brah, but no dice.

[Knight of Fools]

I never expected to work at Wal-Mart.

It still doesn't feel real.

[Lecksand]

I never expected the trailer I lived in would be flipped upside down in a tornado while I was inside.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Headcrabs cure headache fast, by removing the head or destroying the brain.

[Itnetlolor]

I never expected that I would ever accept my loneliness as solitude instead. (Further kudos to Bay12 for having awesome people to help me not feel so much like an outsider.)

I never expected to enjoy drinking alcohol (real beer, like Guinness, and liquor especially), or getting high either. (I'm at least wise about when I use either. Don't wanna lose work because of them.)

I never expected to fulfill a few of my childhood dreams as an adult. No less, be able to carry one of my fulfillments with me for whenever I get bored. (PSP + a handful of Emulators + crap-tons of roms (many also ones I always wanted as a kid) = happy inner child)

I never expected to actually be accepted for my oddness, anywhere. (Again, Bay12, you all rock. Closest thing to a nakama I got.)

I never expected to face past bullies, and far exceed them in potential.

I never expected such a pathetically weak little target, ripe for bullying, like oneself, can be recognized as a hardcore badass. (I do believe I can drink my original bullies under the table as well, and be able to mock them for being "lightweights".)

I never expected to be able to actually prove some people wrong in their beliefs of some of my odd behaviors (talking to myself, for example).

I never expected to be able to right myself without need of a self-help book, and end up as an example for others to follow in "getting (understanding) life". Furthermore, when given examples from their books, I am already much further than them, and I never read any of the books they pushed onto me either.

I never expected to be as strong as I am (body, mind, spirit).

I never expected to still look so young, despite how I live my life (Junk food, lazy-ass, playing games much the time) up to my current age (and furthermore, still trick people with it unintentionallty). Cue many an underestimation because of being mistaken for an inexperienced late-teen; and the shock on their face when they hear my actual age.

I never expected to actually take interest in learning things after high school.

I never expected that freelancing would actually work out as an actually good direction to go career-wise.

I never expected people to ever actually understand me since childhood.

I never expected myself to be any bit social. (Sometimes, I may need alcohol to get over myself quicker before talking.)

I never expected that I would ever start getting hints of attraction more often from women. I used to be a woman-repellant, or always perma-banned into "friend" (or more like acquaintence) without any idea what I did, since childhood. Worse off, I was being myself. (Talk about a confidence-killer with that one.)

I never expected that (any of) my car(s) can last as long as it(/they) did, considering their conditions. I believe my willpower is strong enough to override nearly anything. (maybe not really, but considering how deep in the pit some of my past cars got, they somehow still ran and didn't really break down whenever I drove; for everyone else, they ran like crap.)

I never thought I can actually out-think my older brothers as often as I do these days (Even trying to snoop inside my computer without my authorization is a chore). Even some of my "Play to Lose" strategies result in me winning many games, especially, I suppose, because they always "Play to Win". I prefer to call it "Having ‼Fun‼". (Fun Fact: I'm actually banned from playing some (mostly board and card) games during family game nights because my strategy screws everyone up so bad, and I consistently win from it. No Thanks! being the hardest ban I've been hit with. Everybody doesn't want to play against me anymore in that game.)

I never expected that MS Excel would be, by far, one of my most versatile tools.

For having not been much a fan of math since school; I never expected numbers would hold my interest so much.

I never expected to be a fan of anime.

I never expected to be such a strong influence in many other people's lives, despite not having a lifestyle or career with such an expected impact. Most of what I do is behind the scenes, or as a last-call backup that 9 out of 10 times, is always there to catch.

I never expected to be recognized as "The Fun Uncle" out of my brothers according to the next generation of my family. Not just fun, but also surprisingly responsible and somewhat reliable, according to others; especially since before their time, I used to be recognized as the complete opposite. Then again, it probably also helps that I'm the "guy with the games" (which is also frighteningly competent when playing with/against them), and one of the less/least mature family members despite being a middle child; I know what to expect, and can even serve as an interpreter for new members of the family/clan.

I never expected, at least during my childhood, to have descended from generations of badassery.

[mainiac]

I never expected that I would watch my little pony and have sex in the same night.

[Owlga]

I never expected to spend the whole day ranting on and on how I had sex with my girlfriends boyfriend today.
