Silly Confessions :)

In this thread, the idea is post a silly personal confession, whether it's a certain song or movie you like but are ashamed to tell anyone, or something you don't know how to do, or something crazy you did when you were younger... sky's the limit on this one! But let's try & keep it light - no murder confessions, okay? LOL

I'll start:

1. I don't know how to play chess!! I never learned; never bothered to.

I can play poker, I can shoot pool, I can bowl, but I never learned how to play chess!!

Okay, one more...

2. I love, love, LOVE the Muppets!! I grew up on the Muppet show, I've seen all the Muppet movies, and have all the Muppet songs on mp3! I love Kermit & Fozzie & the old guys in the balcony, and I think Miss Piggy is the biggest diva of all time!!

* whew* Well, that was painless... Okay. Who's next?

Hi Lorna, I also love the muppets, in fact now I have the muppet theme song in my head

A silly confession that comes to mind for me is that I am a terrible driver. When I first went to get my license I failed 7 times in a row

I always felt so stupid cause I studied the manual and I practiced with my mom and seemed to drive ok those times, but always got nervous and screwed something up when it came time for the test. One time I don't even know what I did, but the guy quickly snapped at me and said 'Just get out of the car!'

. Finally on my eighth try I finished the course and with my score my instructer said 'Technically, I can pass you or fail you, but.. since your becoming a regular allstar around here I'm going to pass you.' omg I was soo happy I could have kissed him.

When I was a kid, I took one of my Mum's favourite chains from her jewellery box to play with and dropped it down a drain

I never told her and every now and then she brings it up in conversation, the mystery of her missing necklace while I sit in silence

One time when I was about fourteen, just before Easter, I found mine and my brother's Easter Eggs in the kitchen and ate them both, then had to go out and buy replacements before I got found out.

Talking of chocolate, Ed bought a couple of boxes of poppets at the weekend, I ate my chocolate coconut poppets that he gave me, days ago. I just found his box of chocolate toffee poppets with four left in...I just ate them all and chucked the box away while he's out

BTW...The Muppets were great!

Great ones, girls!!

Jenna, I'm glad the finally passed your test! Don't feel bad tho, when I was 18 I once ran over the divider in the road because I was futzing with the radio & not looking where I was going...

Curly, your experience with your mom's chain was very similar to an episode of the Brady Bunch where Cindy lost one of Mom's earrings!! That's another confession of mine - I also love the Brady Bunch!

Okay one more... I make fun of myself - but only in a light spirited way!!

I make fun of my flaws (such as RICK'S lousy people skills) and am able to put a cute & funny spin on that!!

For example, I wrote a skit where I walk into a room & do nothing but smile say Hi, and then everyone in the room runs screaming in terror!! And those who don't immediately run away pull out assorted weapons...

oh I can so relate to that

I had a similar experience one time. I was fidgeting with my cd player and when I looked up I slammed right into the back of a big truck

. I wasn't going very fast, but I was so scared that some big guy would get out super mad and like beat me up or something. Luckily a very nice lady was driving and she even let me use her phone and wait in her truck until help arrived *phew*.

That's a very cute skit btw

I think it would be really kewl to see like an animated version.

Beauty - Oh you know me only too well!!

Jenna - I'm like the TG version of Tom Green!!

OK, here's a confession -

The only class I ever flunked in high school was driver ed, and I flunked it twice

.

This was the late 60s and the driver ed cars were battleships with power everthing - handled completely differently from the 1960 Plymouth Valiant that Dad was teaching me on.

It seemed that whoever passed the school driver ed course failed their first road test for their license. I didn't take the road test until I was almost 18 but passed it with flying colors the first time

Hi all,

Okay, here's a confession: I have never ever even had a driver's license! Always lived in the city; never felt the need for a car. I guess this might seem like an unbearable thing if you live in L.A. or Houston or something, but, up here, it's no big deal.

For the curious, yes, I bike around a lot in the summer, do the BMW thing year-round ("BMW," by the way, stands for "Bus-Metro-Walking"), and find there's little that gives me as much pleasure as a good walk, whether it be a brisk one or a more leisurely stroll.

Not much sense in being a people-watcher if all you get to see are the tinted-out head-and-shoulder profiles of other drivers.

Here's another confession: I'm a total degenerate when it comes to doing my laundry. Black, bright colours, whites, cotton, silk, jeans... it all goes in the same hole. Now, before you all gang up on me, I have to say that, when I do someone else's laundry (say, my SO's), I'm scrupulously attentive to the washing and drying instructions. It's just that, for me, I don't really care if my shirts turn up a cool shade of pale gray and my cotton jockeys pinkish. It's all good. I'm not fussy (and I have no SO to scandalize with my laundry habits). I'm the same way with meals. I don't like spending more than twenty minutes in a kitchen fixing meals for myself but, when company's coming, I'll spend an afternoon in there if need be. I guess my working for twelve years as a cook in restaurant kitchens has left me with a distaste for fixing elaborate meals for myself.

Oh, and I love Kermit, too. Us frogs gotta stick together, n'est-ce pas?

Love,
CJ

Oui,

However I have still called le fashion police to arrest you immediately. I have spoken to le chief of police and he has promised to give you reduce your sentence for caring for other's laundry in a fashionably acceptable way.

Bonjour!

I'm shocked CJ

That is SOOO wrong!!!

but I will agree with Beauty and let you off this once, seeing as you only inflict this injustice on your own stuff

Love,

Hi girls,

Hmmmmmm? Comfessions huh? Ok, I'm sure I have a few.

First, I watch Spongebob Squarepants and Fairly Odd Parents.

Second, The first pair of panties I ever bought? I actually stole them because I was too afraid to buy them.

I'm sure I will think of some more later..

Love always,
Elizabeth

Hi all,

Whew! Beauty, Curly... thanks for letting me off easy!

I promise to do better in the future. You know, with that silly confession, I just lost every single one of my contracts as a French maid, darn it!

Love,
CJ

Hey, Raven: no worries... Lou Ferrigno scares himself!
