I plagiarized myself once. In grade 11 biology I wrote a paper on Diabetes for which I received a B. In my third year of university, I reformatted the same paper and changed a few dates (with reference to recent research) for submission for a mandatory "Science for B.A. students" class. I received an A for the paper. I don't feel guilty in the slightest as I have a funny story to bring up when discussing plagiarism.
