With the exception of a smile ( ) and a sad-frown ( ), I have never done any of the actions that the smilies I've used would seem to imply.
I have a Dad that liked Milli Vanilli even after they were found to be fake. (Though that's really a problem with my dad, I thought it would work here, simply by relation).
I don't know how much I weigh.
During the county spelling bee in 5th grade (I won the school one), I misspelled the word "tension". "(releif sigh) T-E-N-T-I----wait, no! (Heavy sigh) (mumbled:) O-N." "Can you please repeat that?" And I was HONEST the second time, and misspelled it again. Stupid, stupid morals.
E.R. and most other critically-acclaimed dramas bore me to tears.
I like rap. This includes Eminem, Vanilla Ice, Run DMC, Outkast, Will Smith, and more.
If I had a digital camera, I would likely post somebody else on Foobonic.
Homosexual debate threads irritate me.
In 7th and 8th grade, I participated in picking on a kid so much that he'll likely end up at a psychiatrists for 10+ years.
Of the many things I've declared "awesome", very few have actually inspired awe.
I think a Big Mac is tasty.
I shop at Wal-Mart, and will only stop once I find something cheaper.
I rarely use the phrase "da". I just used it with my name five or so years ago to sound cool.
*gulps* I like a few country songs.
I like Pepsi about as much as I like Coke.
Of OSC's books, I have still only read the Ender and Bean series.

Hehe... here's a funny story about confession...
I was with my boyfriend Jeffery and we were driving back home. We stopped by his work, a gay bar and grill, to pick up his paycheck. They were understaffed so we stayed for a few minutes so he could help out.
I was at the bar having a drink when I look over in the corner and see a bunch of people. Some of them look familiar. And for some reason remind me of St. Francis Cabrini church and school. Jeff comes back and I ask him, "Who are those people?" "Oh", he says, "they are from the gay Catholic mission from downtown". Catholic?
OH MY GOD! It's Father John and Father Bill! The two coolest priests from the church! I slowly try turning away so they don't see me.
Too late.
They come over.
"Hi Karl".
"Hi guys".
"So Karl, have you been to CONFESSION recently??"
Oh gods... "NO!"
It was all in good fun and we had some nice conversation about me and about their work with their new flock....but it was still embarrassing!!

I mean OSC doesn't appreciate fans telling him they don't like his books, and Kristine gets defensive when people post it here. There's never an official smackdown, but she doesn't like it. There was a thread a while back that was very critical of something he wrote, and the mods wondered why people wondered why OSC never posted here. I know maintaining the site is an immediate drain (maybe not a long-term one), and that just means that criticizing OSC's books on his site kicks off the panic button for me.
I want the people in charge of keeping it alive (Kristine) to feel happy feelings. We are guests in their living room.

Vana, I think it was me that Kat was referring to in that post. I have not posted here a lot, and I had no idea that the Cards were sensitive to criticism. I find it hard to believe, however, that my confession would have the power to shut down the forum. Are you overreacting just a little?
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Regardless of if it affects the long-term prospects of the board or not, it just seems awfully rude to say you don't like one of his books on a site he's paying for. I know if my mom heard me say something like that to someone I didn't know who had just given me a nice gift (and I think this board is a pretty nice gift!) she'd be very unhappy with me. That's my favorite way to gauge manners... what would my Mom think if she saw me do this?
Anyway, my confession.... ummm... I get irritated when people post a critisim of one of my posts and then don't respond to my rebuttal. I wanna argue! Come back! What, you have a life or something?

I like Charmed....especially those goofy episodes where they dress up as Valkyries or Biker Girls, or whatever the current fetish happens to be. I like Paige, and I even like that stupid baby with the occasionally glowing eyes. I just wish Leo would hurry up and be gone permanently so the girls can be in stupid costumes every week.
I feel so much better with that off my chest.

Here's something that's less of a confession, but more of an exciting announcement.
I have OFFICIALLY stopped shopping at Wal-Mart. I now pay $10 more per week for diapers, $5 more per month for coffee, and I don't care. *bows*

So, um, was there a new episode on last week? I was singing in a concert in Salt Lake last Tuesday, so I had to miss it. If it was new, anyone feel like updating me? Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
Paris and Rory went to Spring Break in Florida and not unexpectedly found Louise and Madeline there. Being the adorable uber-geeks that they are, they wore bathing suits comparable to wimples, and Paris threw around money like the member of the ruling class that she is. There was a cute guy there, but Rory never really got up the courage to flirt. After feeling that despite their best efforts (lame dancing, pizza), watching the Power of Myth and wearing big hats prevented them from getting the spirit of Spring Break. To try to figure out how everyone else was having fun, Paris kissed Rory at a club, and Rory flipped. All was forgiven later, though.
Digger gave Lorelai a key to his apartment, and flubbed the delivery. He later apologized, which led to this adorable exchange.
"I feel I should mention something about the key. The key was supposed to say something." "So it's a talking key?" ... "This is the part I usually..." "Bolt?" "I was going to say run, but bolt sounds more manly, so yeah. But I was trying to go down the list of all the things that annoyed me, and I couldn't think of any. And I'd be the biggest idiot to screw this up. So I went out and got you a key." "While that would have been more interesting coming from the key, it's more romantic coming from you." They kissed, and then, because they are so in love and want to continue the relationship, he left without walking her inside or getting a kiss goodbye.
After going in, Lorelai hears a message on her machine. It's Luke, he needs a ride, because he's in jail, and by the way, could he borrow money, because, oh yeah, it's for bail.
Turns out he suspected Nicole was cheating on him with the man who owned the socks he was unexpectedly wearing, and when trying a little survelaince (as opposed to, you know, asking his wife) he had his suspicions confirmed and took out his frustrations on the man's car. Neighbors called the cops, Luke goes to jail, even after getting out, man in still with Nicole and Lorelai expresses her sympathy
1. Lorelai is a difficult name to sound out and spell correctly. 2. Come on Luke, SAY SOMETHING! It's been years! 3. I now have a vague desire to watch the Power of Myth. I wonder if its on Netflix?

I once swallowed a gulp of olive oil thinking it was apple juice. I once tried to pour a little maple syrup on a cookie and poured half the keg, then poured it from the bowl back into the jug, then wiped the bowl with tissue paper to erase the evidence, then got found out by my older brother while my conscience was trying to cuss myself to sleep that night. I was once presented with a free cheeseburger at an end of season wrestling banquet because I went down to the reception desk at the hotel we were staying at the state tourney, and skeptically enquired after a free cheeseburger after having recieved a phone call from one of my team mates telling me to in a duped anonymous voice- he nearly did not survive. I have recieved points off college level chemistry, Calculus, and I think calc based physics tests as a result of arithmetic errors an 2nd grader would not have made. I've been evicted twice and arrested once not for anything but sherely based on orneriness, ugliness, and stupidity. If I trust somebody and what they say could easily be true, I am really easy to lie to. There are a number of things with regard to myself I would have little trouble taliking about but that very few people would want to hear.

The first one I won't even begin to respond to, for fear that I break something.
The second, Stryker: Don't even think that you set Daniel and I up! We've been friends for a while, and you had nothing to do with the fact that he asked me to be his date once we got to the school... we just hung out and stuff, occasionally danced (not often, neither of us is too keen on that), and had a great time. You really were not responsible for that! Sorry to burst your bubble. And besides, even if you did do something (which you didn't) it failed, because we're not "together" or anything, as of now!

I don't believe in god but I go to church every Sunday because I don't want to tell my dad. (It's not a forever thing, it's just that in my family you get the choice to stop going to church when you hit college.)
Every time I've gone to confession at church my list has been entirely bs. That's right, I lie directly to the priests because I'm too lazy/embarrassed to come up with all of the things I've really done wrong, just to get a penance that I never actually complete.

Mack, I cried at the "I'm lost." part of Lilo and Stitch, too. It bugs me when people talk about what a terrible movie that was. I loved it. Posted by Anthro (Member # 6087) on :

Heck, I cried during the "I'm lost" part of Lilo and Stitch. And I do NOT cry over movies. *laugh*
But I love that film. Love. It. Lilo is, quite possibly, the most perfectly real character Disney's ever put on film.

Forgive me, thread, for I have done embarrassing things. It's been 2 months since my last confession.
Confessions:
I use the graemlin in posts now simply because I once saw Ralphie IRL saying, "No no no!" and waggling her finger and she made it look cool.
For the past three nights I've gone to sleep with the lights on because I was too lazy to get out of bed and turn off the lights.
I found myself singing "I Feel Pretty" in the shower after watching Anger Management even though it was a gawd-awful movie.
Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :
I only post about 2/3 of the posts I compose on hatrack. I end up not posting about a third of them. I write it all out, and then decide againts it.

There's someone I know that doesn't like to deal with anything, so when she asks how you are, no matter what you say, she'll say "That's great!"
"How was your day today?" "I got stuck in traffic and everything was boring." "Oh, how nice!"
My confession? I tell her the crappy things that happen just to watch her force a smile and ignore them.

Mack, I don't know how to break this to you, but I think it's your right to know. T_Smith has been kissing a girl named Jamie. I'm really sorry, but you had to find out sooner or later, better sooner.

If you need someone to talk to, I'll be here for you, and I'm sure everyone else will too, it's just awful what he did to you.

Is it really possible to kiss while smiling? I mean, I'm trying to make my lips do that at this very moment, and it doesn't seem like they bend that way.

Haven't done it in a while, but it certainly can be done. Heck, I've laughed while kissing. But it makes it really hard to breathe.

Don't worry, I'm happy with my decision.
Posted by Boon (Member # 4646) on :
Okay, now for my real confession.
I've never read anything by Tolkein nor The Hitchhiker's Guide. I don't have every book OSC ever wrote, though I do have a lot of them.
I collect... ::cringe:: ...COOKBOOKS! Yes, cookbooks. Not antique cookbooks, though I do have one of those. I mean cookbooks I can use. But I don't actually use them that often. I just like having them. So I could cook. If I felt like it. Which I don't. But I could.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
OK, confession. I have decided that red wine is a Core Food on Weight Watchers.
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
Boon and Elizabeth, I love you both. Great confessions.
(That wasn't a confession on my part. I have no problem saying it openly. )
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Thanks, ElJay. Any time you want to rationalize anything, come on over. I am the Queen.
Boon, I am also a cookbook collector. I have not been into cooking since the kids were born(ten years), but I have the bug again.

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
I own lots and lots of cookbooks. Every now and then I say I'm going to make an effort to make at least one recipe from each, but I haven't yet.
I, um, like the glossy ones with the full-color pictures best. Posted by HesterGray (Member # 7384) on :
Here's my confession: I own a record (yes, LP) entitled "Chipmunk Punk," featuring none other than Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. It contains lovely songs such as "My Sharona" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love."
And what's more, I don't even have a record player.
(Or would it be worse if I did have a record player and actually listened to it?)

Where's the OOC thread when you need it?
Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :
I think it's already been discussed somewhere that cookbooks are porn for foodies. Posted by beverly (Member # 6246) on :
The most recent design for my bank checks is unicorns. It was the only one available that I liked. At the time I thought, "I'm the one who uses the checkbook most, so I should get what I like." Downplaying how much unicorn decorations bug Porter, who thinks unicorns are only for 14 year old girls.
I *still* haven't told Porter yet. I just know he will *hate* having to use "unicorn checks". I am seriously dreading him finding out! But he can either read this thread or find out tomorrow night when he uses one for the first time....
Posted by mothertree (Member # 4999) on :
My mother in law thinks unicorns are a gay code... though I somehow doubt it. I think she got them mixed up with rainbows.
Having the man be embarassed to use checks could have some interesting budget effects.
Okay, but I have yet to share a confession about me. I tried to do two things at the same time at work today and succeeded. The result was a vendor quick report printed on a check blank.

I only read a couple pages of this thread before posting -- I skipped all the ones in the middle.
I've been lurking for a couple af years but I still feel like such a noob -- until a couple weeks ago I didn't know what IIRC meant, I just found out today how to put a link in a post (btw, thanks ElJay), and I still have no idea what OOC means.
Oh, and I still love the animated version of The Hobbit, and I get cravings to watch it just to hear the music.

Several times this week the upsurge in chatter about post counts has tempted me to go back to an old screen name.
I'm feeling so curmudgeonly of late, that twice tonight I logged out and logged in under a different name. A less nice name. Both times I changed back without posting.
P.S. Anti-cool, do I take it from that quote that you have enhanced your checks by adding a whip to the unicorn artwork?

I haven't seen any of the LOTR movies, though I read and loved the books. My original plan was to wait until they all came out and watch them at once, but now I just don't feel like investing the 11 hours it would take.
I love 90s hip hop like New Edition, BBD, and others.
I kill a great deal of time by rereading the oldest threads I can find on hatrack. I occasionally revive them. Those that I don't revive, I bookmark for future revival.
