Even more… When I sleep alone, I curl up with a fleece blanket. I’m probably addicted to Tylenol PM. I’m definately addicted to caffeine. If I don’t have coffee or Diet Coke first thing in the morning, I get a vicious headache. I really wish someone, well someone in particular, 🙂 would say the things that Holden says to Alyssa in the car in Chasing Amy to me. I have a picture of Stinky Paws taped to my keyboard tray at work. When I’m having a bad day, I just lift my keyboard, look at him and smile. One of my friends is engaged to someone who I think will end up hurting him,but he’s so in love with her I can’t think of anything to say that would change his mind. ---

I have absolutely no use for weddings, including my sister’s $30,000 one that’s coming up in three weeks. I like her very much, but I wish I didn’t have to go to it and wouldn’t if there was any way around it. ELOPE! ---

I’m staring at **ARose’s** away message, waiting for him to come back and talk to me. It’s pathetic, but I haven’t spoken to him in an entire WEEK and I want to so bad…_begins sobbing and wailing_ He won’t come back and I’m so pissed I can’t stand it. I got my first thong today. Technically, **Shogun Haircut** bought it for me. It’s black and has a kitty face on it. I never thought I’d actually wear one…much less one someone else bought for me. **Catalyst** is a pimp. This should just be known. ---

- I also love the Sound of Music. It is one of my all time favorite movies. - I pick my nose and fling it when no one is looking, but never indoors because that would just be icky. Mostly just out the car window. - I am absolutely TERRIFIED of moths and I can’t even tell you why. - When all else fails, phone sex works wonders. The nastier, the better. - I not only love Prince’s music, I think there is something really sexy about him too. - I eavesdrop on cell phone conversations using my multi-channel radio scanner. - A few years ago I was having a secret office affair with someone very high in command. We once locked ourselves in the computer room and had a nooner right there on the main frame, just feet away from a large office on the other side of the wall. - I stick my gum under the table at restaurants. - Not too long ago I had to made some rolls for a party. I worked my ass off and made them from scratch. As I was getting in the car, the Tuperware container I was carrying them in opened and they all fell out into the driveway. I gathered them up really fast and served them anyway. Didn’t see too much dirt and thought that with the ten second rule and all, they would be okay. A little Army pepper never hurt anyone. ---

This is quite the thread. I skimmed it, but I’ll have to give it a thorough read. Hmm what to share? Perhaps just a few for now: 1)Context: I’m a 30 year old straight white male. 2)I say I’m confident, others sometimes prefer the term arrogant. 3)I keep a pair of ragged 12 year old jeans in my closet, trying them on weekly to make sure I am still the same size. 4)I feel guilty to the point of depression if I don’t exercise for a day. 5)I was never close to my siblings until after I moved out. 6)I’m outgoing because I make a conscious effort to suppress shy feelings. 7)I find it easier to make female friends than male. 8)I once had a partner loose bladder control at the critical moment during intercourse (she LHAO stating that it enhanced the sensation, I grumbled and hit the showers) 9)I will work on some trivial problem or unanswered question for hours because I cannot set them down before I seem them through. 10)I prefer Guinness ---

I like going back and resurrecting old threads that I missed the first time. I should be working while I’m doing this. I talk to my dogs like I expect them to understand me. Half the time, I think they do. I’m actually very insecure. I hide this fairly well, I think. I’ve got a tested IQ of 160. I wish I was more attractive, instead. If I’m attracted to someone, I suddenly get very, _very_ shy. I never dated much, as a result. I think **Ballybay** is really cute. ---

Excuse me. > [@](#): > > I’ve never been able to finish Catcher in the Rye. I always get distracted by something else around page 60. That’s because, as Holden Caulfield would probably say so eloquently, the damn thing is a fucking piece of shit. Carry on. ---

Good thing my friends really love me, or I would be ostracized.[/li] [li]I love Disney stuff, but that’s not a confession, now is it?[/li] [li]I loooove nancy boys.

A confession and a confirmaton, done with the blessing of the other person involved… I will reveal who Stinky Paws was. **blur** He emailed me one night. We became friends immediately. Then we were more than friends, and now we’re just friends. We never met f2f. ---

I know it’s an old thread, but I just found it, so it’s new to me! 😛 [ul] I’m going to be 21 this year and my Mom still makes my lunch I, on many occasions, have picked my nose, and then proceeded to masticate the contents retrieved from said nose I only shower once a week or so (I wash my hair every other day) My parents are second cousins [/ul] Had to get that off my chest… Thank You and goodnight! ---

I’m a 28 year old straight male. I’ve given a good friend a blow job on several different occasions. :eek: ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by **Lamar Mundane** _ > The “M” on the Montreal Expos hats looked to me like the letters ELK They always looked like “elb” to me…I didn’t know it was an “M” until a couple years ago. If only it wasn’t in three different colors. Confessions: –I like Neil Diamond, The Carpenters, Grand Funk Railroad, and John Denver –I love watching soaps –I can’t tell a joke to save my life –I find much humor in other people tripping, falling, and hurting themselves (as long as it doesn’t involve serious injury, of course) –I don’t practice what I preach –I sit too close to the TV –I like to wear too much makeup –Sometimes I wish I had never had any kids –I wish I was an actress (but I probably couldn’t turn a phrase much better than a porn star) ---

-I did everything within my power to break up a friend and her boyfriend, because he’s way to dumb for her. They did break up and I was happy. -I’m sixteen, and have drank twice and gotten stoned once. I swore never to do either back in middle school, did, and swore it off. For good, and have turned down a drink/joint twenty-nine times since then. -I count the number of times someone offers me something. -I have no intention of ever having sex. While I often see people as physically attractive, the thought of sex turns me off. -I thought that Elijah Wood as Legolas was quite possibly the hottest guy ever. -I’ve lied, outright, straight-faced, and gotten away with it, to my parents nine times. Seven times about grades, once about cutting to school, and once about an injury (see below) -I was diagnosed with patellar tendonitis (sp?) two and a half years ago, was told to take six weeks off of training to let my knee heal. I told my parents (and TKD instructors, which made me feel more guilty) that the sports doc had said to take three weeks off. Can’t come up with a rational reason, never told anyone else. My knee still hurts on a regular basis, which I also haven’t told anyone. -I like action movies more than romance or chick flicks. ---

- I secretly think I’m smarter than other people at my school, and hold their work to higher standards than I do my own. - I once tried to burn down my neighbor’s house when I was around 10. The gutter melted, and I was caught before the job was finished. :rolleyes: - I sometimes feel I have no redeeming qualities and can’t imagine anyone ever wanting to be near me. - I’m an obsessive proofreader. If something isn’t perfectly correct or just right, it can’t be there. - I sometimes feel my friends act depressed on purpose in order to get attention. - I’m constantly making up conspiracies and like to pretend everyone’s out to get me, even though I know they’re not. ---

-I am incredibly nosy. -I have a love/hate relationship with myself, about my weight. I am constantly thinking, if I lose 25 lbs, I will be prettier, happier, life will be good. -I worry that I am a bad mother. -I have no best friends. Just hi and bye friends. Been burned way too many times. -I wish I could be wild again. -I hold a grudge forever and will think of ways of revenge all the time.
