Snackie's Confession Booth - Come One, Come All!

When I started blogging elsewhere some time ago, I had an anonymous blog called "Confessions of a Conference Room Junkie".  All of the posts that I made were anonymous, baring a little bit of my hidden soul each day.  You see, I'd admit to feeling a certain way or doing a certain thing, and that would be the whole post.  I got the blog title from my very first and biggest confession...that I'd had phone sex with my boyfriend while in the conference room at work...ahem.

So I got to thinking.....we need a good old, soul cleansing confessional here in the PRB.  Of course, if you want to talk about crazy things that have major psychological depth, Post Secret always loves to hear from people.  But what about the small stuff?  Life's aggravations, accomplishments, random thoughts, and various other things that we never admit to anyone? 

Well, that is where the "Snackie Confession Booth" comes into play!  You are welcome to come here and confess to something, no matter how big or small.  If you want to get real deep and do so anonymously, I won't out you.  If you want to be "yourself" and talk about random stuff that you would just LOVE to confess, dig it....and then do it!

Everyone is welcome!  In fact, tell your friends to swing by and let a load off of their chests, if only for a moment.  You can confess to one thing, two things or many things and can come by as many times as you like!

I'll start us out with minor to major confessions of my own:

1.  I like Matt Damon better than Ben Affleck.
2.  I don't always take the grocery cart to the "cart return" area.
3.  Sometimes I think that I have nothing left to give.

See?  All levels of confessions were dished out there!  Now come on and play...pretty please with sugar and hot fudge on top?

I will leave more of MY confessions in replies to your comments.

Conference Room Kisses,
Me

[kapgar]

None of those confessions are truly earth shattering. Everyone thinks Matt is better. Nobody uses cart returns 100% of the time. And we're all on the verge of giving up on a daily basis.

So, really, what would you like to confess?

[holygirl427]

Alright, here goes:

1) While I love my life of nonstop excitement it sucks that now that I'm sick I'm sitting alone in my apartment with no one to make me soup and rub mentholatum on my chest.

2) I'm a HUGE Laura Branigan fan.

3) I did way more than kiss the 25 YOH (the condom stayed in the purse) and he did not deserve it, but it sure was fun.

[sandra]

1. I really like Britney Spears, and defend her when people poke fun. Really. (and no, being aware she's ridiculous does not excuse this behavior)

2. I don't know the last name of the first guy I ever slept with.

3. I sometimes get kind of nervous when I'm home alone in the suburbs. City, never -- but something about the quiet and lack of crowds freaks me out. Is that the opposite of being claustrophobic?

[kimberly]

1) I hate cleaning my house so much that I'll put it off forever, then invite someone over just for the cleaning frenzy it inspires in me. ;)

2) Sometimes I daydream about what life would be like if I took another path. I know that's a common thing but it feels like a big confession for me. ;)

3) I'm afraid that when my kids are all in school and I attempt to get a real job, any career I try will make me feel like a fraud--like a kid playing dress-up.

Hey those were kind of big for me. Phew! I tried for little simple confessions...but my life is kind of an open book with the small stuff. ;)

[Kriss]

1. I take my mother shopping with me because she has a disabled sticker. I don't particularly enjoy her company; but I seriously love the laziness of not having to park 500 miles away from the store's entrance.

2. Deep down, on some absolutely pathetic level, I admire bulimics. I'm so ashamed to admit that, because I know how sick it is. But I'm jealous of the fact that they can stuff themselves & get rid of it all. If I go on a big binge, I love the feeling of fullness . . even though it's fleeting and I end up feeling empty again the next day.

3. I despise my mother-in-law.

4. I cheat on my taxes. I waaaay overstate my donations to Goodwill and other charities, to increase my refund. Don't get me wrong - I still donate a lot - but I make up for the people who donate & don't take receipts.

5. I hate Oprah. And Dr. Phil. And Rosie O'Donnell. And all reality television.

[Dagny]

Kevin is right. Everyone does think Matt is better. I would have been shocked if you said that Ben is better.

[Gnightgirl]

I drive out the "this is not an exit" driveway at my grocery store because it's faster than going around.

[Hilly]

Kevin: The secret is in the eye of the beholder. Besides I am sure I will reveal more of mine when responding to comments :).

Holygirl: I often wish I was stuck alone in an apartment with peace and quiet. Also, yes on Laura Brannigan but let's not tell anyone, shall we?

Sandra: I found a list of all the guys I've slept with and a few were not named, LOL.

Kimberly: I wonder about the road not taken as well. I'm sorry you feel like you'd be playing dress-up...that's how I think I'd feel about being a mommy!

Kriss: Is it wrong that your first confession made me laugh a lot? And you know I am with you on Oprah and Dr. Phil!

Dagny: Yes well, I'd still let him buy me coffee ;).

Gnightgril: LOL, the last ticket I got (hell the ONLY one I've ever had) was for doing something similar!

[Di]

I love my job but feel trapped here I've been here almost 15 years and am too chicken to try to go anywhere else even if the money is better (and pretty much anywhere is better money). As I put it to my friend who asked why I said I don't want to be the low man on the totem pole..I know this job inside and out..I know everyone and they know me and I can come and go pretty much as I want with all my vacation etc

Once my kids are all gone I worry about being totally alone, I just broke up with my fiance and although I know it is for the best because he drank heavily daily it is still hard to think of being alone all the time.

I don't know the last name of the first person I had sex with either...shoot it has been so long I would be lucky to remember his first :)

[jodi]

1. i know more about what's going on in the entertainment world than i do about the war in Iraq...

2. i don't remember my first time and i wasn't drunk...

3. i used to love brad pitt but now i hate him because he's with angelina...

4. i'm extremely jealous of my stay-at-home friends that have children...

5. sometimes, all i do is read blogs at work...

[Bully]

(It's okay Kriss, because I never deduct for all the stuff I donate to Goodwill. It evens out.)

Hmm.
1. A woman I thought was Beautiful this week smiled and winked at me-- and it totally made me happy.
2. I am so dichotomous in nature. Despite wanting to live in love and harmony, etc, I could and would harm someone,if provoked.
3. Apparently I am an equal opportunity flirt.I like attention(esp male attention), and so long as people aren't acting inappropriately towards me? It's all good.
4. my general apathy extends to my housekeeping these days, too. It takes a big effort to get up, get moving, and make the magic happen around here. Speaking of which, laundry beckons...

[Chase]

1) Kevin is wrong...*I* use the cart return 100% of the time. ;)

2) I'm so sure of my current relationship that it scares me to death, because I've never been sure about anything in my life before.

3) Going along with Kriss' confession...I haven't done my taxes for 2006 yet. Or 2005, for that matter.

4) I hurt my back yesterday. And I didn't do it working, if ya know what I mean... ;)

[furiousball]

1) my home will be empty except myself, one cat, my dog, and a bearded dragon in less than 8 weeks
2) i cried in a conference room this morning because of #1
3) i've done #2 every single day for the past three weeks (I mean #2 in this list, not poop, well actually, I probably have done both, so that makes 4)

[Hilly]

Di: I know what it is like to feel trapped. I feel trapped in the city we live in.

Jodi: I feel the same way about Brad Pitt; in fact, I won't watch a movie with either him or Tom Cruise in it!

Bully: Sometimes I tell myself that I was too busy to do housework but then realize that I spent three hours watching teevee and reading blogs!

Chase: See! I knew that there were some people that were total cart-returners and would view my inadequacies as a big deal ;). Last year, I had a huge ordeal cause I had never done my 1998 and 1999 taxes...so yeah, I hear ya!

Van: I've got nothing but love for ya....well, except number 4 ;)

[suze]

1. I am far more generous with other people's money than I am with my own. Which makes me doubt my own generousity...
2. Ever since watching the PBS special on weight, where they discussed research that shows that gastric bypass might infact sever nerves in the gut that could be responsible for compulsive eating, I sometimes wish I hadn't lost weight so I would qualify for the surgery...
3. I actually like Ben Affleck more than Matt Damon. I've never forgiven Matt for what he did to Minnie Driver...

[Foo]

I will never get over the fact that my brother is a fuck up and my parents baby the shit out of him.

I often stare at my house/yard/car/husband/dog and think I don't deserve any of it.

I only eat meat so I'm not a pain in the ass when it comes to eating at friend's houses and ordering at restaurants. I pretty much hate the texture/taste and could live without it.

I've tried to stop cussing for a day and I can't even make an hour.

[Avitable]

I'd rather be rich and notorious than poor and well-liked.

I can listen to U2 and almost get teary-eyed.

I liked the movie Dirty Dancing.

[Hilly]

Here are more of mine:

1. Sometimes I imagine a life much different than the one I have now.

2. I fear that I may never act my age.

3. I cuss like a sailor and even though I know that it is unattractive, I don't give a fuck.

4. I "play nice" with some people because it's just easier.

[DutchBitch]

1. Though I am Dutch... I've never ever smoked pot

2. When driving my car, I hate all people in traffic. They are all in my way, all the time...

3. I fear that I will end up an old single maid...

[E]

and mine...

1.) I can't look at a dishwasher that is loaded "incorrectly" or inefficiently. I will unload it and load it again the way I think it should be loaded.

2.) I don't speak my mind enough mainly because it's easier. I hate confrontation and this is my out.

3.) I cry every time I watch "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition". Very embarrassing.

4.) I packed up my cat in my truck and dropped the little fucker off in the woods. I tell people he went to live on a farm somewhere.

[diane]

1) I also love Matt Damon.

2) I told my boyfriend I thought he probably looked better than Tobey Maguire in a suit and I was totally lying because it was the "right" thing to say.

3) Work has no idea how miserable I am, and that I have nightmares about my job on a regular basis.

4) Dutch, I've never smoked pot either, and at this point in my life, it seems really stupid to try it even though now I feel like I am ready and willing.

[Lora]

Thankfully, reading other people's confessions helped me think of a few for myself.

1. I'm terribly afraid that we will still be living in my in-laws converted garage at Christmas.
2. I have a compulsive need to turn the toilet paper roll around if it's hanging "incorrectly". The roll must have the paper go over the top, not hang down on the bottom from the backside. I change it constantly here at Casa In-Law.
3. I worry all the time that I'm not being a good enough mother to my son. He's a great kid and I often think he deserves better than me.

[Anonymous]

Tomorrow, my husband and I are to witness the marriage of our dear friends. Yet, we both think it will be a huge mistake. I have a terrible stomachache right now over this, and I can't stop crying. We love these friends of ours, and they have a beautiful daughter whom we love just as much, but marriage just isn't going to work -- for many reasons. This isn't my blog, and I don't want this to be a lengthy comment.

This is my secret... my husband and I will stand-up willingly for our friends, but both of us truly wish they wouldn't marry.

[Anne]

1. Some people in my life think I really do give a shit about them, when I don't.

2. I wonder often " is this it?"

3. If I found out I couldn't get pregnant, I would be ok with it.

4. I love to smoke. There I've said it.

[Sharon]

1. One of the things I've long wanted most in life is to be a mom. My greatest fear is that I never will be. . . and that fear grows ever nearer to becoming a reality, as I am 36 now and still unmarried & childless.

2. I don't believe that every person is really good deep down and can change for the better.

3. I would be embarassed for anyone to see how disorganized my house is. People who know me think I am an organized person, so they would be quite surprised if they came to my house. I've tried & tried to get it together, but I can't get a handle on it.

[Angie]

1. I've only slept with 1 person in my life - my husband - and *damn* is it good!

2. People often tell me I am amazing for keeping it all together, which I don't understand b/c most of the time I feel like I am clinging just by the tips of my fingernails to the edge of a cliff over an abyss of complete chaos!

3. I can't stand my in-laws and begin dreading seeing them days (sometimes weeks) in advance.

Whew...that's some stuff that nobody knows!

[Just A Friend]

I have a crush on you and it's real.

I never get the girl.

Despite both of those 'horrors' I know I can be ok alone.

[E]

Funny Lora - I used to be an "around the back" paper guy. I'm now converted and feel the need to convert everyone else too! Thank God I'm not the only one changing it for others who hang it the wrong way.

[Hilly]

Suze: Shit, sometimes I think I just wanna HAVE the WL Surgery!

Foo: I can't imagine being stuck with an "angelic" brother like that. So I was told that my cussing was crass and I started cussing more ;).

Avitable: Nobody puts Baby in the corner!

Dutchy: If I could give you half of my drug experience, you'd never want to smoke pot! I once had a total freak out of paranoia and that was enough for me. Pot makes me squiffy!

E: LMAO, I should not be laughing about the cat thing bus shit, at least you were honest, and that is what we are here for! I don't watch that Home Makeover whateverthefuck simply BECAUSE I don't want to cry!

Diane: I don't think work ever knows that stuff because everyone is too concerned with their bottom lines.

Lora: I hope you get out of that house toute suite! Um in our house, you would go crazy...we don't even put the TP on the roll because my cat will play with it and have it all piled up in the toilet!

Anonymous: I totally feel for you and hope the day goes by without a hitch. If you've said your peace then you've done all you can.

Anne: Uhhhh, are you and I twins? Except for the smoking thing, I am right there with you. Although, I do often think that I should start smoking again in order to lose weight...wtf?

Sharon: I don't think they are either..people I mean. Some people just can't be helped.

Angie: Holy crap...you are a rockstar! I have a list of guys...a LIST.

Just A Friend: Seriously flattered. Who are you? LOL. I think that nice guys DO finish first, by the way.

[Hilly]

Oh here's one...I don't say half of the shit that I need to here because family members read, Blizzard people read, Upper Deck people read and sometimes that makes me feel trapped in my own blog.

But, I'd hate to lose readers...geezus, I am fucked in the head.

[Heather]

1. My brother is in prison for 35 years for raping his step-daughters and I still love him more than I love my bi-polar bitch of a sister.

2. I plan on having a baby with my gay friend and his partner but am scared to tell some of my friends because they might judge me.

3. My son's step-mother mentally abuses him and occasionally physically abuses him and his father refuses to believe it. I called CPS and because I don't have physical evidence I can't refuse visitation. I want to kill her.

4. I have fantasies about being a lesbian.

I don't always put sunscreen on my kids when we're outside.

One summer I didn't shower for a week. I just jumped in the pool 5 times a day. No, it's not this summer, although it would be if I still had a pool.

I like The Fray.

[A nony mouse]

1. I found my engagement ring in my husband's bag because I was so f-ing mad at him for not getting me a Christmas gift and I said that if there was no ring, I was going to break up with him. But I found it and have to pretend to everyone that he really surprised me.

2. Whenever I have a really big poop, I haver to walk around and mummur things like "That was a really big poop" for some inane reason and I fear someone at work will overhear me some day.

3. I secretly am somewhat disgusted by my older dog sometimes because she's growing shit out of her skin and farts uncontrollably, but then I'm overcome by her unconditional love for me for the past 13 years and I cry hysterically.

[Holly]

Ok first I just have to say that this has been such an awsome post. It just helps me see that I'm just a normal girl. Kinda puts my life in perspective a little. Thanks everyone. So I'm just gonna let you have it:
1. I want to bitch slap my roommate/coworker (yeah we work and live together)sucks! She plays little high school games and it gets old.
2. I quit smoking cold turkey 6 weeks ago and I haven't craved even one.
3. I just want to be able to stand up to one person one time in my life and not feel bad about it at all.
4.I broke down and went to see a weight Dr.

[anonymous]

I do not know the last names of 3 guys that I have slept with.

On my wedding day, I wasn't sure if I should actually get married or if it was a huge mistake. I went through with it because I felt like I had no other options and did not want to hurt my husband.

I run a lot. Because I think if I can just look good enough, maybe I can fool people into believing I am ok and happy.

[AnonyMouse 2]

Part of me thinks he was just being nice and trying to make me like myself, but I need to believe that he meant it.

[Laurence]

I love SpiderMan... But I hate spiders !
I prefer Roger Moore than Sean Connery for James Bond !
I can't spend one day without chocolate !

:-)

[Hilly]

Heather: It seems like you have a lot going on...I hope getting it out here helped somewhat.

Whit: So then you know how to save a life? ;)

A Nony Mouse: That ring story cracked me up! I am really hard to surprise because I do shit like that too. I was just talking about talking about poop yesterday!

Holly: I truly hope you find yourself worthy enough to stand up for yourself one day...truly, it is something we all deserve to do. I could teach you a crash course if you want ;).

Anonymous: All of those things together sound like you are not happy...I want you to be happy. I think half of the reason I am so into clothes, hair and makeup is for the same reason...maybe I can fool people into believing I am beautiful and not just this fat piece of shit.

Anonymouse 2: Geez, allow people to use your URL and then they come out of hiding! Anyway, wow that you said that because I could have said the same thing. Seriously, exactly the same thing but I have no idea what yours is about of course.

Laurence: Je n'aime pas les films de James Bond. Mes amis me rejetteraient probablement s'ils l'ont su (and I have no idea if I translated that the right way, LOL).

[Hilly]

Wow, in my reply to an anonymous person I really got a smack in the face. I do take such good care of the rest of me (hair, makeup, clothes, personality) because I feel that if people see that, they will forget that I am fat and still love me.

There you go, Kevin.

[kim]

1. I love McDonald's breakfast and secretly eat it, even though we have sworn off fast food.

2. sugar is my crack. I am a sugar whore. I try to stop but just can't. I need rehab.

3. I loved the new Bond movie.

4. Somedays I side with my son, over my husband... though I don't let my son know. (I'm pretty sure my husband does though)

5. I love the snackie booth, and think it should be here always - though since you already know that it isn't much of a confession. Thanks for bringing it back for the day!!!!

[Lisa]

If I could still have had my son, I wish I'd never married his father.
My mother is a drama queen and drives me absolutely insane... but I still love her.
Friends with benefits rocks!

[Nameless]

I think people who criticize other people's confessions but don't make any themselves are chickenshit.

I can't stand Matt Damon and won't watch movies he's in. I adore Ben Affleck, but not all his movies.

I married my husband because I couldn't have the man I really wanted. (I've *never* admitted that to anyone before.) Even though I adore him now, I still feel guilty for deceiving him.

I contemplate suicide almost every day, because I don't believe I will ever be truly happy.

[kim]

I went back and read all of the comments and now I want to do more:
1. My mother tortured me as a child with the correct way to load a dishwasher - and I threaten my husband regularly with the lecture. I reload the dishwasher all of the time. And redo the cupboards after he has unloaded the dishes.

2. I redo the toilet paper too - it has to hang from under the roll.

3. I don't take care of myself - even though I like too - because I figure who the hell cares... I'm fat

[tori]

I think it is cool that everyone is sharing such personal stuff...even if a lot of it is anonymous.

A lot of times I wish my cancer stuff never happened. Not because the cancer was so terrible (it wasn't fun, but I got through it), but because now no matter what doctor I go to now, I have a HUGE medical history that I need to tell. Each time. You wouldn't think it was so bad, but I honestly have pages of crap to tell each time. I feel like a hypochondriac sometimes, but it is all true and real.

My confession part is that I loved that during the cancer sickness part a lot of people banded together to take care of me. People bent over backwards to cater to my every whim, and although I did not take advantage of it, knowing I could was amazing. I liked that so much (and no one has ever really taken care of me before) that if I could go back and not have cancer, I would really have to think about it.

I hate that now I can not trust my husband to be there for me emotionally. He has always been sort of a noncommunicator, but during my sickness, he showed that although he would be there physically for me, he can not be there for me how I need him to be emotionally. It drove a wedge between us that I am struggling to bounce back from. I am not sure that we will overcome this even though he is my very best friend in the world. (maybe this should have been anonymous??? It's all stuff he knows I feel and everyone would guess it is me anyway I am sure so whatever I'll risk it)

[Hilly]

Kim: I love the word "whore" when used in proper context like that ;). I wish I could have made the booth thing work but it just bugged me for some reason. One day it may find its way back to the header though!

Lisa: Yes, yes they do. Not that I would know currently but I remember ;).

Nameless: *Double snort* and you know why. I really hope that your can find a way to love yourself at least a little because suicide is not a good thought to have.

Kim again: Hahaha, you kill me with the fat thing!

Tori: You know how I feel about your situation as we have talked in emails but I am glad you put it out here. It must be something you need to get out and yeah, people would probably know it was you. Besides, one good thing about doing it here is that he probably won't find his way. Hell, if someone else did one of these, i'd have a lot more to say too!

[Anonymous]

You're so sweet, Hilly! Thanks for fixing my previous comment. These are the only anonymous comments I've ever done. Anyway, I wanted all of you to know that our friends have decided NOT to get married today. We are relieved, but I know this is going to be a difficult time for them.

[alea]

1. I skive off work every now and then even though I'm a teacher and tell my students off when they do that.

2. I often think about giving up my studies, even though I'm so close to finishing and it would be just plain stupid. My self doubts are killing me - I don't think I'm cut out to be a teacher. But I'm not brave enough to give up though, because I care too much about what people think and say...

2. I often wish I had kids and could be a stay at home mum.

3. I fear that I won't be able to get pregnant.

4. I'm jealous of my ex-boyfriends new girlfriends. Even though twelve years have passed since we've been together and I'm in a happy relationship now, about to get married.

5. I not just liked Dirty Dancing - I LOVED it. And still do...

[Jules]

1) I've said out loud that I would like my fiance's mother to die and make my life easier (not to him!!)

2) I have looked at my va-jay-jay and wondered if it will slim up when I lose weight

3) I love Kenny Rogers.

[Hilly]

Anonymous: You are welcome and I am so glad that they did not make what seems like a mistake. Just be there for them...duh, you know this ;).
Alea: I think that there is a part of us that always feels like a man we dated is "ours"...not in the creepy, stalker way but just in the fact that it is hard to see him with someone that is not you.

Jules: It's okay - I like Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks. Oh dear God, THAT was the hardest confession I've made yet!
