Flammable Confessions

kikibaby

Confess something you think others would judge you for.  I'll start.

I drink at least 6 Diet Pepsi's a day.

I keep saying I can't afford to get the brakes on my car replaced, but... I'd really just rather spend the money on fun things.

From another post below.

I care more about humans than I do animals. Plain and simple. I get seriously outraged when people care more about an animal killer than a baby killer. Pisses right the fuuck off.

*both are HORRIBLE, but I place more value on a human life than an animals. And yes, I am an animal lover.

I DO NOT want to adopt kids..... Period. FI has brought it up and he says if we couldn't have any he would want to. IDK what it is but I just have no desire to adopt. I love kids, I realize that there may be many that need homes, I applaude people who do adopt, but it's just not something I ever want to do.

I'm so lazy about laundry that I frequently have to throw the day's outfit into the washer before my morning shower and dash off to work with my clothes still wet. 

Fortunately, I have an hour long commute and live in the desert so I'm usually presentable by the time I arrive.  ^.^

I have a ridiculous amount of credit card debt.  And I'm not too concerned about it.  I mean, I want to pay it off, but I figure as long as I can pay my bills, I'm ok for right now.

This isn't flammable.  But, I'll share with y'all. 

I always said I wouldn't have kids.  Don't want them.  No, no no.  But, in the past 6 months or so H and I have decided we do want and will have one.  We're still telling people "fuuck no!" when they ask because if you say yes... then they start asking questions.  And I hate that.  OR you see them in 6 months and they'll be all, "so have you started trying yet?"  No thanks.

I will think of a flammable confession for y'all.  I just need more time.

My mom wants me to start working out with her. I know I should for my own good as well as it would make her happy. I tell her i'm too busy to join a gym right now but the truth is its more like laziness.

kikibaby

I also have a crapton of debt.  Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to not worry about it.  I worry about it almost daily, and sometimes it's crippling.  The idea of it taking 5+ years to pay it off... ugh.

I have a confession I'm DYING to talk about but I am afraid it will turn this thread into a flaming pinkpinot fest and I don't feel like dealing with ittttttttttttttttt

Celles

This isn't a confession because I've talked about it before, but my house is currently in foreclosure.  I expect to be judged for it, but it still irks me -- especially in light of recent comments on SB about how it isn't "fair" that some people get bail outs from their parents.  I'm sorry, the next time my homebuilder decides to flaunt the building code and then file for bankruptcy, leaving me with a worthless hunk of concrete, I'll be sure to suffer appropriately so the cosmic fairness scale remain in balance.  /sarcasm

This is a confession: I actually cried over my missing veil.  And then I cried some more when FI insisted on replacing it for me, when I said it wasn't worth the hassle or expense.

This is my husband's view on adoption too.  I don't mind the idea so much.

But, I do want at least 3 kids of my own.  H wants 4.  I know that's flameworthy around these parts.
Another one: I really don't like dogs.  At all.

see, this kind of thing bugs me, because it makes people less likely to believe that i mean it when i say you don't. i get the dismissive, "oh, you'll change your mind" because people who swore up and down they didn't want kids end up having them.

not flaming you specifically, just a general gripe.

This is me exactly.  I was so against having kids.  Now I kinda want one.  I refuse to admimt that to people IRL.  If we do end up having kids, I plan to pretend to be an idiot and say it wasn't on purpose.

Celles

Katie -- Is that a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier?  If so, I demand that you stop lurking and become a total PW so I can see your ADORABLE puppy all the time.  I LOVE Wheatens!

Mine's a rescue and probably a mix.  I can't keep him in the breed cut no matter what I do.

kikibaby

We've been pretty kind around here lately, pink.  Go for it

My confession (which I mentioned forever ago, but it came up with friends last night and is all I can think of): I kind of wish I were single so I would feel comfortable trying Botox. H would think it was totally ridiculous and unnecessary, and he'd be right, so I'm ashamed to even mention it to him, but I also feel like at 25 I can see lines forming, and I'd rather just prevent them now if possible.

mgietler76

I don't pretend to like anybody just because they are friends with one of my friends. I'm a bittch to people I dis-like and don't aplogize for it. I refuse to do things just to "keep the peace" and my best friends are my siblings who feel exactly the same way so

spechtholdn

Another confession is that I am completely against abortions personally but I don't feel that ANYONE has the right to tell someone else they are wrong for doing it. It seriously p*sses me off that there is a possibility it could be banned. Why in the world do people think they have the right to decide what someone else can and can't do to their body or unborn child???? It really irks me.

ok i've got one. i'm 100% in favor of adopting dogs. i don't judge people who buy from reputable breeders, but i'm a big advocate of rescue.

at some point, i may buy from a breeder. someday i'd like a greater swiss mountain dog, and you just don't see them in rescues.

Eye to eye. I figure I'd prefer to be proactive about it but Jay would literally scoff at me if I brought it up. I'll probably do it anyways, but still.

[Deleted User]

doesn't botox make people look weird? the formation of wrinkles on my face is becoming ever more alarming.

mandysmear

Yeah I can see that daff.  I was really really against it for a number of reasons.  And I HATED it when people told me I'd change my mind.  Althought I was and still am in my early 20s so I can see how they'd be all "you'll change your mind..." 

I definitely believe you when you say you don't want and will not have any children.  I think east has said it too and I believe her as well.  My sister is one person I think will change her mind.  But, I don't tell her that cause I know how much I hated hearing that. 

And now those people were right about me changing my mind.  And that pisses me off the most!  Haha.

I judge people who buy from reputable breeders.  I know it's not fair -- rescue dogs aren't for everyone -- but I can't help it.  9 million dogs and cats euthanized each year in the US alone is a horrible, heartbreaking statistic. 

emilyinchile

Daff, I think it depends on how good the doctor is. I figure it wears off after a couple months, so if I didn't like it it wouldn't be the end of the world.

Ok, I'm going to lunch - Pinot, I want that damn confession when I get back. Please? I am curious.

kikibaby

I used to be very pro-rights with regards to abortion.  I still am, but ever since my sister lost her child and hasn't been able to have another... I can't help but see abortion as really selfish.  I want to stand outside a clinic with a sign "My sister will adopt your baby!"

katiepoppy

Celles - it is! We were fostering him for a while and hope to get a puppy in the spring. I absolutely LOVE Wheatens! Yours is really cute - love bandanas on dogs. The breed cut = lot's of grooming. I like the longer look on them anyway.

spechtholdn

Alix, I love your golden blonde locks. Your hiar rocks.

Celles

Karma, JCB.  It all works out in the end.

And I didn't mean to rhyme..... *sigh*
