Snackie’s Confession Booth…

The biggest reason I pull out the old “confession booth” every few months has nothing to do with not having anything else to post about. Usually it’s more about me being needy for lots and lots of interaction with people and/or the comfort that comes from knowing other people are just as fucked up as I am. Oh hey, check it out, I’ve made a confession already! Anydoodle, the reason I am bringing the Confession Booth back today is quite different! Not one, not two, but *three* different people have emailed me in the last week asking me when I’d post it! And yanno, not being a person to let anyone down (oooh, another confession), I thought we’d go ahead and play today!  I can’t think of a better time actually, since the seasons are changing (for most of you) and because I am going to be busy with out of town guests arriving for Blizzcon!

Some of you know and love the Confession Booth posts whereas others of you are “new” to my blog since the last shindig.  You can see previous confession booth posts by clicking here! A lot of those old posts were imported from TypePad so please excuse how totally ghetto-fabulous they look what with their fucked up alignment and broken images. You’d think I would go back and fix it but hey, confession….I am a lazy fucking beyotch! However, as always, I actually will post a snippet that was included in the very first confession booth post so that you know how it all works. See how giving I am? See, dammit?

“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!

IMPORTANT ADDITION: If you want to comment anonymously, please use a fake email address such as me@me.com and you can use www.snackiepoo.com as your URL or it will revert to the one you have used here before! “

Now then, just so you know…I comment anonymously on these things quite a bit.  But for now, here are my confessions that I don’t mind sharing with the world:

1.  I keep making promises to God that I’ll stop listening to Concrete Blonde’s Tomorrow, Wendy but I never keep the promise.  The last time I swore never to listen to it again, I was going to Jester’s house and my needle was below “E”.  I promised God that if he let me make it to the gas station, I’d totally take the cd out of my player and never listen to the blasphemy again.  Today, I faltered.  I’m sorry but with that song’s kick ass lyrics, how can I stop myself?

2.  Even though I already have a plane ticket to Florida, I am still not sure I can afford to go.  I had a roommate lined up but now, not so  much.

3.  I’ve been plotting my mass consumption of every carb on the planet for about five days now.  Even though I’ve successfully lost 26 pounds, I just want or need a day off.  With that being said, the reason I am stoked for Blizzcon has nothing to do with friends coming in or the fact that Shawn is not on a panel this year (which means a bigger likelihood to drag him to Disneyland).  Nope, it’s all about the fact that I am eating a real fucking meal Friday night!  I’ve deiced to let Friday be a “day off” from no carbs.

4.  My life contains a very complicated situation and yet, it doesn’t stress me out at all.  It’s the most peaceful storm I’ve ever been in.

Now then…time for YOUR freak flags to fly high!

Feeling Very Halloweenie Kisses,
Me

    I so totally love my husband, but I still talk to my high school ex that I have been friends with for, like, 20 something years. Hubby forbade me from ever speaking to him last year, but we have kept emailing on the side under fake email addresses so we don’t get caught. :oy:

    I absolutely cannot stand my friends’ husband. He’s a major douchebag, and she practically worships him. It makes me want to hurl, and being as opinionated as I am, it’s a miracle I haven’t said anything to her. Not even when she’s bitching about him. I want to, though. But I probably won’t.
    Also - I love your graphic. It makes me laugh because my mom calls me Lucy (from Peanuts)!

    Oooh I have another one!
    I am … extremely anxious about meeting people at the Halloween bash. I don’t necessarily think people won’t like me (hell - everyone likes me - haha!), but I am scared I won’t fit in. I am a hermit. This is really pulling me out of my nice, cozy shell. I can’t explain the amount of anxiety this gives me!
    Also (damn, look what you started!), I have this great fear the plane will go down, and my kid will grow up without me. That thought KILLS ME.

    Hillygirl, you’re so brave. Love the C-booth.

    I’m dealing with weight mishigas, too. Sticking with it is as frustrating as taking a day off. I feel your pain.

    Now onto confessions:

    I am obsessed with Barbara Streisand duets - OB-SESSED. I am the broad shamelessly singing “You don’t bring me flowers anymore” louder than a laughing hyena with all of my windows open. Shame squared.

    I have a rolodex of confessions I’m ready to spew on Snackie’s World, but I’m thinking I should hold back and choose one or two more.

    I’m almost at that place where I’m ready to get back on the wagon and I’m wondering what it’s going to take to push me that last bit.

  12. Atomic Bombshell Says:
    October 8th, 2008 at 1:36 pm

    Okay, here we go:

    1. I’ve been trying out this “vegan” thing for about four weeks, but if for any reason my cycling performance begins to suffer (any more than it already has due to giving up my daily asthma medication because we’re trying to conceive) then I am going to chomp some dead animals STAT!

    2. My one and only sibling, my younger brother, just called me to let me know he’s getting married next August in Maui. I think he’s making a big mistake because the gal is major screwed up. (Then again, so is my brother… Double Whammy!) It’s hard to stop being a bossy big sister and just let him live his life. I hope I’m mistaken in worrying and that he will be very happy.

    3. My life often feels so foreign and uncomfortable. Far from what I’d ever design on my own, yet I somehow brought myself here. Some days I wake up and feel like my dreams are real and my life is the nightmare. I think this is mostly because I’m not living with my husband yet and it hurts being apart.

  13. Hilly Says:
    October 8th, 2008 at 1:36 pm

    Me: Sounds about right. It’s always the ones that drive us insane in the bad way that drive us insane in the hubba hubba way. ;)

    Poppy: Right, you don’t have to hold back. You can tell me that you totally hate me! :razz:

    Gina: I shall go check my DMs then!

    Blondefabulous: Wow. Not because you are sneaking around but because I understand.

    Sybil: If it is any consolation, every person like you that says that leaves one of these events very happy that they actually came. If it helps, you can attach yourself to me since I don’t know the meaning of the word shy at all!

    Schwartzie Baby: You come back and confess as much as you need to, ya hear? Also? I sing showtunes nonstop lately…to my cat.

    Adam: Hey, me too! Luckly booze will make anyone tolerable!

    Poppy: I imagine this: :box:

    floatingprincess: It seriously just takes the moment of “snapping” I think.

  14. floatingprincess Says:
    October 8th, 2008 at 1:38 pm

    I’m afraid my feet are going to hurt like this or worse for the rest of my life and I’m not sure I can take it.

    I want to quit my job and make cakes for the rest of my life.

    I am really bugged by something a friend said to me and it’s making me not want to be friends anymore but I don’t want to say anything to her because I just don’t want to talk about it.

    I have another friend that made a comment to me when I was thinner about how fat I used to be and it makes me wonder what she thinks now that I’ve gained weight again.

    I am sad today about the fat.

  15. Hilly Says:
    October 8th, 2008 at 1:39 pm

    AB: It is always hard to watch someone make what we see as a mistake and not say something. I admire your strength to do that. Also, you and I eat opposite diets, haha!

  16. Atomic Bombshell Says:
    October 8th, 2008 at 1:43 pm

    Hilly: Not as far opposite as you might think. I don’t consume any unrefined sugars or grains. I just read this book “Skinny Bitch” and it freaked me out about animal products.

  17. Gina Says:
    October 8th, 2008 at 1:43 pm

    Here are a couple of semi-related confessions I don’t mind sharing:

    I share my food with my cat. He takes bites of my sammiches, my crackers, etc.

    My cat weighs 20 lbs now and I am very worried that if I don’t reduce his weight soon he won’t be around for as long (he’s 6 1/2 now).

    I fight a constant battle with my brain during every waking hour. My brain wants to put me on a countdown to cancer over everything. I’ve lost several family members to the Big C, and my habits aren’t the greatest, so - probably. But that’s no reason to live a life of terror. So I fight off the little voice that screams, “YOU PROBABLY HAVE CANCER!” every minute of every day. :crazy:

  19. Hilly Says:
    October 8th, 2008 at 1:55 pm

    Here’s another one…I hate chatting. I’d rather email you back and forth than sit on a chat program. The main reason is because I don’t want to be forced to talk to someone when I am not in the mood. Hell, I let half my calls go to voice mail for the same reason. Also? I get up and down quite a bit so I am not consistently quick answering back.

    Yes, I am a bitch.

  20. anonymouse Says:
    October 8th, 2008 at 2:05 pm

    1) I avoid events where my boyfriend’s best friend will be in attendance because I really don’t like him. But because I’m afraid to own up to it, my boyfriend is starting to think I don’t want to be around HIM. :(

    2) I am growing increasingly aware of a group of people I call “The Intellectual Poor”–people who are well educated but choose not to work in positions that are “beneath them.” This is the main reason I am becoming more and more resistant to universal healthcare.

  21. Unwilling Celibate Says:
    October 8th, 2008 at 2:25 pm

    My husband doesn’t like sex. He wouldn’t care if we never had it again, and resents that I want it. I alternate between blaming my own unattractiveness, believing he’s gay, and thinking he’s cheating on me. I don’t want a platonic marriage, but otherwise, we are happy. I cry about this almost every night.

    And it makes me want to get it elsewhere, if he won’t give it to me.

    I have a million internet boyfriends. I have always had internet boyfriends — for years. People fall in love with me, I cannot help it. Sometimes I am ok with that. Sometimes I even meet these people and find them equally attractive, and enjoy their company. Nothing salacious.

    But I am married.

    While I believe in God and consider myself a Christian, I hate the hypocrisy with which so many people practice Christianity.

    I could offer many examples, but I’ll limited myself to one: unwed woman gets pregnant on accident, but can’t even consider abortion because “it’s a sin.” Umm, isn’t pre-marital sex a sin, too? :0

    October 8th, 2008 at 3:02 pm

    I have such an overwhelming fear of rejection that I don’t dare risk telling guys that i’m atracted to them. Because I’ve had friends spill my beans before (in a drunken stupor), I won’t tell anyone who even remotely knows the person I’m attracted to, which means I pretty much shut myself off from any potential help. I’m in my thirties… why am I still such a chicken about this stuff? I don’t want to live my life alone, but you sure can’t tell by my inaction.

  27. Crystal Says:
    October 8th, 2008 at 5:11 pm

    :( I don’t trust my husband at all. We had a HUGE falling out at the beginning of the year after I found out he had been webcam-chatting with random girls on AIM, and now I can’t go a aweek without checking his browser history and installed programs because I can’t trust him at all (even though I’ve found nothing to give me that idea since I caught him).

  28. Nat Says:

    Hilly, I have the same fear about dieting…. I feel weak for not being able to stay at my goal weight.

    Confession: The Kids at work are still getting on my last nerve, but I think they may be making an effort .. and that gets a fair bit more cred.

    I backed out of going on a trip with a friend, and lied to her about the reason because I was ashamed of the real one. She knew I was lying, but not why, and it’s damaged our friendship. I wish I’d told her the truth, but even more, I wish I’d had the courage to go.

  30. Finn Says:
    October 8th, 2008 at 6:08 pm

    Oh, I second your chat thing, Hilly! For exactly the same reasons. I always get caught when I don’t want to “talk.”

    Now I’m totally curious as to who Avitable doesn’t want at the party. This is totally a confession for me because I’m not usually nosy.

    And Sybil, none of the bloggers I know “fit in” as a rule. That’s why we all get along so well. You’ll love it. Promise. And I promise to give you a huge hug just to make you feel extra uncomfortable. :jinkies:

    I hate that you boot to completion … almost … and then you throw an error message at me just as I think I’ve kicked your ass. I hate you NT4 and I hate the fact that replacing you with something newer is going to be a big, expensive headache.

    I may love you again, in a few minutes, if you start kicking out the data I need. But for now: hate.

    Even now I see you’ve booted up — seemingly, anyway — as I’ve typed this. But I’m not fooled. Hopeful, yes … fooled no!

    I hate the fact that what I’m doing I should have been able to do over the VPN from home but instead it’s taken two days of cutting my hands open on sharp, poorly designed, computer cases in addition to typing command after command in at command prompts.

    And let’s not forget the mouse clicks! Right and left clicks … for the double whammy.

    Yes. NT4 … I hate you.

    I confess that I have been stressed out and thin skinned and everything is making me cry. Even the stuff that normally rolls off my back with a RMEITBOMH makes me sob uncontrollably. Fear is eating me up and I’m tired of puking up what little I eat because of it.

    Also, I want to just stay home and write. I don’t want to go to work every day. I have over a month in vacation hours and I’m afraid to use them. Well, I took three days off later this month (which will put me back at exactly 160 hours) plus a day off on the 27th for my b-day. (Which I can’t take off because it’s month end.) I feel so guilty about not going to work too. :(

    And my last confession is that my story Silver Lining is my secret fantasy about myself and my ex, Paul. I WANT him to not be married and still wear my necklace and still love me and think about me after all these years… My bad, I know.

    3) This above mentioned co-worker also has daily phone conversations with her ‘mommy’. The converstations are loud, in english and in some other language, and go on for quite some time. Worst part, SHE LIVES WITH HER MOTHER!! Can’t these things wait until she gets home? :doh:

I am not critically depressed, not to the point I am heading for the nuthouse, but I’m frustrated with my shoulder pain being constant and no medication working and we’re rushing into the busy season where I don’t have time to sit around with ice packs or heating pad and pamper myself. The worst of it is, I can’t tell my family because they think “depressed” and they all remember ‘95 when I had my nervous breakdown. Guess I just have to keep venting here with Hilly. :(

    I am fully in love with someone and I don’t even know when I’ll ever see them in person.

    But, that’s okay, because this person makes me feel calm, happy, and like I can do anything I set my mind to. And in my life, that’s been a rare thing.

    And they feel the same way. So I’ll wait however long it takes. They’re worth it. They have been worth everything I’ve gone through.
