i've been in my organisation for two years now. In the early days, I did stupid things to piss people off, like leaving cups in kitchen sink; forgetting to put mobile on silent in office of three/four people, therefore disturbing; and taking initiatives that run counter to some staff. I have moved on, but boss remembers these things, plus FALSE perceptions he has created thanks to other members of staff who are no angels. Do I apologise AND explain that I don't want such tags associated with me, or do I keep quiet, and make extra effort to dispel such perceptions?

No. The solution is to quit your job and start over at a new one. This time, try not to be so nasty.

I think you need to take the time to explain your case, this is best done at your annual review where you have your say on all that has happened over the last year.
Explain that you were only following the ideas of your peers and now realize that this was misleading and wrong and if he is willing to give you another chance you will do your best to rectify the faults you have made in the past.
This should start you off on a clean slate, keep it that way and do your best.

Actions speak louder than words. Just make a conscience effort to change your behaviors and thus the perceptions of you will change. Good luck and God bless*

It sounds to me as though you really may need to work on your consideration of others-try to concentrate on becoming more perceptive rather than on other's perception of you-I bet you'll see a change.
