Fess up.

I think we need a confessions thread. And I want juicy ones. Not necessarily like Desperate Housewives crap, just things you think about that you really don't often like to admit to people, but want to get off your chest. None of this "I ate 2.3 cookies today" crap.

Mine:
1. I said this earlier, but I am terrible at keeping secrets. I mean there are some serious ones I would never tell anyone, but if it's of the "I'm sleeping with so and so and he has a teeny peeny" style, I'm not great at keeping my mouth shut. I'm even worse at the "I'm going to propose" type.

2. At one point, my nickname to an entire Missouri town was Backseat.

3. H and I haven't had sex in almost 2 months. I don't want to explain and don't want this to turn into a sex life thread, just wanted to confess.

Maybe I'll think of more in a minute, but hopefully that will be an ok start.

Whoever had me for Secret Santa on here totally dropped the ball on it and I never received anything. It was disappointing. 

I'm still glad SaltyP liked what I sent her though.

I saw an episode of newlywed nearly dead a few days ago and it upset me how much the couple reminded me of US - she has a bad temper and yells a lot, she is a back seat driver and he focuses most of his time on a hobby other than his wife and has a low sex drive. It made me sad and want to work harder at beinga better person cause although were not that bad (we dont fight that often and ive toned down the driving commentary, sex life is consistant, etc etc), we COULD get to that point without work.

My sister was over earlier---and I rented "all about Steve" on pay-per-view because she really wanted to see it.

I'm so mad I spent $4 on the movie....it was awful.

And also, I'm mad that my mom brought her boyfriend with her to my surgery yesterday. As if the surgery wasn't stressful enough...

RachNRich

Oh, and I'm a crying mess right now. And, normally it feels good to get a solid cry in/out---except I can't blow my nose because of my surgery, and the crying doesn't feel nearly as normal.

nda_roxybabe

1. I haven't had my period in for.ever.
2. There were times during our vacation that T drove me absolutely nuts.
3. Sometimes I get bratty about us not being engaged.

jessjo04

I can't even pretend to be nice to people who annoy me lately. Last night, my friend said that the children of divorced parents are messed up, I responded with "oh really?" and an glare. Today MIL was saying how she invited a everyone in her office to our wedding because she wanted to invite some and didnt want to leave others out. She doesnt like many of the people that she insisted that we invite.  I mentioned thats why we probably still owe $1000 on our wedding from September. (She replied saying that their gifts should have covered it... I gave that a mental eyeroll)

Nebb

I have anger issues and I sometimes just yell, to/at no one in general because im pissed about something. I rant outloud, loudly. Ive noticed lately that i will see my dog cowering as though im yelling at him and he is in trouble and im not ever yelling at him,  and it breaks my heart that I scare my babydog. Thats part of the reason im trying to control it for my ny resolution.

ricksang

Someone I am related to might be prostituting herself . I have no proof just suspicions.

temerityjane

salt - I never received anything either and my confession is that I haven't said anything because I thought I would seem gift grabby in some weird way that I was disappointed OR reveal that the person who got my name just doesn't like me.

I am also glad that ggmae liked her gift.

Real-er confession: I was just rude, not like, outright terrible, but unnecessarily short, with the clerk at Old Navy today. For no good reason. just right off the bat rude to her. And I can't stop thinking about it. And I acted like that to her because the first thing she said wasn't very bright and I immediately assumed she was kind of a moron. Ugh. I feel like a total d-bag.

salt78

I was just a mod for a minute. It made me feel incredibly powerful.

tlv204

GUYS I just got mod powers for a second. I thought that only happened to cool people. Oh wait...

Anyway I think they're gone already, but I was still excited to see the option to make things sticky and delete the whole forum. bahahaha.

PS I love confessions. They make me feel like I'm not the only weird/mean/crazy/obsessive person in the world. H is so fucking NORMAL sometimes and doesn't ever get upset about anything ever, I know it's not his fault but I feel like a nutbag next to him. But also I kind of am a nutbag, so...

I guess that was another confession.

SarahPLiz

I confess that I yelled at my little sister way too much when we were younger (11 year age difference, no one in between) and I fear that it contributed to her anxiety and OCD. I just had no patience for her and was her main caregiver a lot of the time.  I have apologized to her, and she says she doesnt remember (age 0-5), but impatience definitely was part of the tone of our household and i really regret that.

<div>YES!!!! Such power should come with a cape.</div>

That is totally shitty of the people who decided to not send gifts! I got mine but I havn't seen Bethro on to thank her.

RachNRich

I confess that being sick made me fall real behind in my PhD program. And I'm not sure I'll be able to catch up before we move. Which means I might have to start over. And if I start over, I'll go a different route--to teach high school. Which I've always wanted to do....just so I could coach track.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

I confess I have NEVER had mod powers and I am jealous of all of you because of it.

Nebb

I feel like an asshole for this, because I know I shouldnt be picky, but Im really in no rush to get a new job. I WANT a new job yes, but im not willing to take any old job, I want something ideal that I would be happy at for a long time. Im being extremely picky with what I apply to and actually didnt call a place back that called for an interview because I decided I didnt much wanna do it. We can get by on my husbands income and if I get employment insurance we will be fine... and im not willing to be miserable for a paycheque ever again. If things get worse or something comes up and I have to, I will, but right now I dont want to!

tlv204

Rach I like you, but I confess that if you get a high school teaching job before I do just because you offer to coach track, I'm going to go postal and murder someone.

Nebb

If I find out a woman in st. louis goes postal and murders someone and then makes a run for it, im totally ratting you out tlv

sarahmk5

I confess that I'm irrationally worried I'm not going to get into any grad schools, and FI is going to get into everyone that he applies to, and then I'm screwed.

tlv204

Nebb I don't think that makes you an asshole. People keep telling me to apply at some particular schools in other, sketchier parts of St. Louis, and I keep saying that I have applied there, but in real life I would rather sub at the district I currently work for than get a full time position at some of those schools.

I think if you don't really need the money right away it's still ok to be picky, at least to a certain extent.

I also confess that I know I'm kind of a hypocrite for the above confession about my job preferences since I complain all the time about subbing, but I just know what I'm qualified for and know that I am happier what I'm doing now even at the low pay than I would be taking a full time job I don't want just for the sake of having a full time job. I'd rather someone have that job that really wants and needs it than me get it just to be able to say I'm a "real" teacher.

tlv204

No nebb you have to watch my back!

Posted by tlv204[/QUOTE]

Well, then you should offer to coach track--and when you get the teaching job because of the coaching offer, I'll coach you through the coaching <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" />

I just loved running in high school--the majority of my memories are from it....and I always swore I'd find a job that allowed me to coach (at first, I though being a lawyer would work)....but now that I've spent so much time in Higher Ed, I realized I wouldn't mind working with students to help better prepare them for Higher Ed---and getting to coach too....

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

Oh, I mentioned this earlier, but I confess I've not only been lurking, but commenting on the Bump's baby name board. FI sort of freaked when he looked at what page I was on. I just love names.

Rach - High school is my backup plan after PhD if I can't get a college job. Then I'll be on a good pay scale. Are you considering getting a teaching certificate instead of the PhD? Don't you already have a master's?

mwhitson14

I confess that I'm a huge biitch to FI sometimes and I don't know why he puts up with it. My resolution (that no one outside TK knows) is to appreciate FI more and to make a concious effort to be kinder. I take a lot of my stress and anxiety out on him. He doesn't deserve it.

sucrets4

I confess that:

~I really, really, really don't want to have a baby down here and live here for another year, but will most likely have to

~tlv - DH and I haven't had sex in longer...part of the reason is being pg (tmi and I won't go into it), but when I go for ages I stop missing it.

~I don't want to go back to work.  I want to clean the house and stay at home and do stuff for the baby.  It's SO bad...I mean, I never want to go back to work after a vacation, but this is awful.

~I hope that DH gets a job somewhere 'good'....no offense to those that live here, but I really dislike the south.

I'm in the same boat.  I'm so mean to him sometimes and always feel horrible afterwards.  I know I don't tell him I appreciate him enough and have to do it more.

Nebb

Thats exactly how I feel tlv, I dont want to just take any job to have a job. I will NOT take a job any lower than what I was paying before (unless there is some incredible perk coming along with it). Ive been focusing on government, city, school admin, and health care admin. Im sick of working at small organizations where they treat there employees like garbage and are poorly run.

I wont turn you in btw. You can hide in my basement.

nda_roxybabe

Mery- I love names too. I'm kind of obsessed. In fact I'm obsessed with babies too. T isnt even phased by me being on baby related websites anymore
