Fish-eyed fools is right, you disobeyed opening principals (in both games shown in the forum) by moving pieces multiple times and bringing your queen out early. You DID hang pieces, and you DID miss simple tactics. Also you ARE playing faster games and should play slower ones.
It may only be worth it if your opponents don't know how to handle it. That is considered hope chess and will keep your rating down. You have to try and be more principled early on and become familiar with what works and what doesnt but giving up material to eliminate castling will only work on low rated players.
