I have records of what I did on my computer from ages ago, and lots of the stuff I did is very cringeworthy.

I was horrible at spelling. Still am, to be honest. I manage to regularly screw up words so badly that spellcheck starts giving me the locations of nation's capitals.

Let me dive into my "nostalgia" archives, see if I can find something.

Huh, a copy of windows XP spider solitaire. Still works in windows 8!

Produced folder: I have an old "no blood" mod for a game I made, so my brother could play it.

Yep, old gamemaker game. It's absolute shit, last modified in 2008, leaving me at the age of... 13.

To be fair, this one doesn't have horrible examples of spelling.

A bad (MS paint) picture of a missile.... Called "missule".

One that has my name in it, so I can't upload it. From the same year (they may have been made sooner), where I spell "move" as "moove". Also, no use of capital letters.

A school project, titled "Beowolf and his peeps".

I have a folder for videos... named "videios".

I put my name in way too much stuff. Let me just quote the slides from this old video I made.

"this is a demonstration of why draw is fun when u r bord hahahahahahahahahaha"

Cut to me drawing random things inside of open office draw.

"i like my smiles"

I really love going through all this old stuff.

Cut to me drawing smiley faces.

"i bet u dont like these kuz i surrre hate um"

"dafkljldkaskjf;lkdjlfkjsd;kjfsdlakjfalkdj;alkdj; that is my normal end"

"hahahahaha"

black screen.

for a solid thirty-fourty seconds.

Made in 6/21/2008. I think this was close to the time my grandpa gave me my own first computer (crappy little windows 98), and these files are from the first computer that I had a flash drive and the ability to know to archive things from.

One windows media file named "poop", it's depreciated and I can't see what it used to say. Luckily.

Someone mentioned old forums. I wonder if I can get a tool to archive those locally on my computer, to preserve those parts of my past along with these things.
