arrange another baptism and have someone interrupt it in a dramatic fashion so that you are no longer welcomed to the religion, it would take a little work and coordination but it would be a lot of fun

One, show a little respect for others; I am not a fan of Catholicism but I would never refer to a religious ritual as a "thingy" unless you're under the age of nine; two, don't make such a big deal out of it; just keep doing what you've been doing, not going to church, etc and three, get OVER yourself and stop being such a drama queen.
There are people with REAL problems here...now run along.

I believe that one has to be able to choose, themselves, a decision such as the one you mentioned. Anyone baptized as a child is completely and utterly meaningless. Exactly, you had no say, no knowledge, no understanding or discernment of what was happening to you. What occurred was meaningful to everyone except the one it was happening to - you! This is the way it has been for any infant baptism that has ever occurred. If you never did communion, etc., you are not catholic. Don't worry about it. Stay free!

You are safe, sprinkling of water is not baptism. Submerging, the whole body goes down into the water, that is water baptism. You have never been baptized

It isn't necessary. Baptism is just a ritual with symbolic meaning, but the actual effect is just a little wet hair. I assumed your hair has dried since then, so you need not take any action.

I'm sorry, but you have no choice but to be a catholic. You cannot join any other religion.
Just kidding.

Catholics misuse baptism in that way. It actually meant nothing, so, you're good.
By the way, baptism is nothing more than a public symbol of your commitment to Jesus. So, to undue a public commitment to Jesus, I guess you can publically declare that you will no longer follow Jesus. It would be that simple.
Good luck with that hell thing. I hear it's pretty hot there.

You weren't baptized hon, you were christened ... big difference.
Baptism is the open declaration to the world of the change within your heart. This cannot be done until you are old enough to make such a decision.
Christening is when parents declare before the world that they will raise the child in a Christian home, and they also generally name the godparents.

Go to a river. Dunk yourself. Don't come up.
edit:
Seriously, you are not a Catholic...don't worry about what was done to you. You are only a Catholic when YOU decide to be a Catholic, not what your parents wanted for you. Since you never wanted to be one, you are not.
IF this bothers you, go to your church and ask to ex-communicated. They will give you a letter telling you that you are not a Catholic.

according to the catholic church you can't but i know how.
you have to accept the gods of rock n roll. all they ask of you is to listen to rock music and have fun. other than that they don't care. lol
seriously though it doesn't matter. baptism is supposed to wash away original sin. since there is no original sin there was nothing to wash away. so don't worry about it
