Confessions/Unpopular Opinions
I don't clean our bathrooms, change our sheets, or wash the towels nearly often enough.
I haven't spoken to anyone in my family on the phone (I have texted/communicated on fb) for almost two weeks. It's been great. I'm realizing how much their drama drags me down sometimes.
I'm realizing I will likely be on antidepressants for the rest of my life, and I'm totally okay with that.
I have no problem with regulating soda/junk food/trans fats. Obesity is absolutely ridiculous in this country, and we need to do something about it.
I think red lipstick looks stupid on almost everyone.

Re: Confessions/Unpopular Opinions
More power to you for accepting it. Better to be on them and be functioning and content, than be off of them and be miserable.
Fact
None of these opinions are unpoular in my books.... thanks for the honesty
I thoroughly, wholeheartedly believe that everyone can do math. It kills me that kids give up on math as early as 1st-2nd grade. It kills me even more that parents and teachers allow this to happen (I am not one of those teachers, and will not be one of those parents.) Without math, you give up almost 50% of your job oppportunities...not a small decision.
I was partially (ok, entirely) relieved in HS when I didn't weigh enough to give blood when the bloodmobile came around. I'm also terrified of needles and would never give blood willingly, as the psychological ramifications are not worth it (judge away...unless you understand anxiety or a REAL phobia, you have no idea what you're talking about.)
I accept that anxiety, depression, and other psychological disorders have a biological component and are "real" diseases. They don't just go away because you will them too. I'm a biology teacher. I also think people can believe in God and understand that evolution is fact. They're not mutually exclusive.
Man, I've been teaching too much today
I also confess that last night, I washed a fork to use for dinner, because every one I own was dirty in the sink.
I confess to putting on a happy face when I really just feel like crying a good 85% of the time lately.
I confess that finding out my rebound hookup is engaged was a serious punch in the gut.
I confess that I love my sister (J) that I've only known for a year and a half SO much more than the sister (W) I grew up with. When I was home last weekend, I saw J almost every day. I spent about 20 minutes with W, and that was more than enough.
I confess that it really bugs me when people don't know things about things that I think should be common sense and/or standard knowledge.
I hate needles too, most times when I get shots or blood work done I will pass out . Mostly because of the anxiety from it. I got blood taken from me last October, I didn't pass out, but I got real pale and my blood pressure began to drop so I had to stay so they could monitor me.
I have no issues with regulating soft drinks and junk food. We obviously can't seem to do this ourselves, given the obsesity rate in our country.
I confess lately I just want to wake up in a new nice home already married to the BF. The waiting has been getting to me over the past week or so.
EDITED for bad typing
I have talked to my mother once on the phone since I've been back from vacation - and it's an amazing feeling.
BF wants me to join another pool league with him, and I know it's a great way to spend time together, and he likes it when I'm there when he shoots - it calms him down - but I am sick of pool league. I don't enjoy it, I suck, and I'm tired of playing and dealing with the petty BS. I suffer through it because of him.
I am siriously considering quitting school for good. I have a lame a$$ associates in general studies, and have almost $35,000 in loans. I'm so far from anything substantial... it's quite depressing.
I want to move back to Philly - and I'm pretty convinced that BF is putting out negative energy about it because he doesn't feel supported enough by me (emotionally, etc - not monetarily) to move away from his family/friends that he's lived around for 30 years. This makes me very sad.
U/O: I think colored jeans are hideous.
U/O: I think rompers are ridiculous looking
I didn't think The Seam had junk food or abortions.

I initially read this as "junk food abortions". . . . I thought you were talking about binging/purging. <div>

abwatts- I DO need 66oz of Dr. Pepper. LOL, jk. BUt seriously, I love me some Dr. Pepper. I'm torn on the soda thing though. I agree with eliminating it in public schools, but I think it's overreaching for the government to make health decisions for us and limiting what we choose to eat or drink. I do think we need to put some money into health education for kids and adults though and help them choose to drink less soda.
KEverdeen - I get where you are coming from, but I think it depends on the context. It's a valid argument though to say that you don't personally believe in abortion, much like the pro-life sect, but that you don't believe you have the right to choose that path for other people. I've always seen the abortion debate not as pro-life vs pro-choice, but pro-choice vs anti-choice, because that's basically what it comes down to. Then again, I have definitely heard it in a context where they are just trying to be a little judgy...so it depends.
I love my family, but I only talk to my brother and my dad with any regularity. It seems the other females in my family drive me nuts, and I prefer just seeing them in person every couple of months. I agree about drama- just not worth it. I will say when everyone is geting along well, my family is the most entertaining group of people, but that is pretty rare sometimes.
I am a happy go lucky person by nature, but I suffered from a very serious bout of depression after I broke off my first engagement. If it had continued for any longer than it did, I would have seriously considered anti-depressants. So I obviously don't see anything wrong with them and it sounds like you've come to a very healthy place regarding your taking them.
As someone who is overweight, I can honestly say I have an addiction to soda. I don't drink more than a can a day, but the last time I decided to cut it out, I lost ten pounds in a month without any exercise. I am trying to cut it completely out of my diet again, because I think it is a good idea. I do think that people can develop addictions to foods, drinks, etc. just like alcohol and drugs, and I think regulation is a good idea. Because obviously we as a country are abusing them. I remember seeing an article in maybe Time, or News Week, with families from different countries sitting behind a standard weeks worth of groceries. Talk about eye opening- the American family had so much processed/frozen/unhealthy food, while the rest of the countries had a lot of grain, lean protein and fruits and vegetables. I like red lipstick, but only for a night out with the girls. Most men don't even like the way it looks, and hate kissing women who are wearing it. But then again we dress for other women most of the time anyway, right?
[QUOTE]jorja - I'm in the same boat with the cleaning. We should do it more often than we should, but it's just so easy to get sidetracked and forget when we last did it that sometimes I don't remember until stuff is visibly dirty. abwatts- I DO need 66oz of Dr. Pepper.

</div><div>There were a lot of posters in the Questions thread who said "I'm pro-choice, and I don't care if anyone else gets one, but *I* never would." It just seemed like it wasn't necessary and I don't know, if I had had an abortion I might be a little hurt by that, like that I'm not as good as (general) you because I did have one.

[QUOTE]<strong>Isn't pro-choice the advocating of people choosing one way or the other?

<div>Yes, which is why I think it's so ridiculous that people need to add that little disclaimer that they would never have an abortion. It's pretty much irrelevant (but what a nice way to brag about one's superior morals). </div>
[QUOTE]And I add: U/O: I became a vegetarian, but I think PETA is a little overzealous. <strong>U/O: I only like some people's babies.</strong>

I actually dislike most people's babies/children. There are a few exceptions, of course, but I'd rather have a puppy.

Agreed. My friends/family know what I like/want/need before hand - why spend time doing a registry if they wouldn't use it anyway?
[QUOTE]I confess that I envisioned myself to be a very cool, calm and collected person during the wedding planning process. Which was stupid to begin with, because I'm none of those things in my daily life. Now that we're getting closer and closer, I'm really getting panicky, about big things and little things. And I hate it. I confess that I continue to have extremely mixed feelings about my dad's girlfriend. When he got his invitation, he told me she probably couldn't come. At first, I was kind of happy about it. Then, I felt badly for him, because it would stink to not be able to spend the evening with someone you care about. Then he texted today and said she can come, and she'll be at the RD. And then I was kind of bummed again. My confessions are all wedding related. It's consuming me. I'm THAT girl. I don't like me right now. <strong>I confess I've thought about trying to attend some GTG, or even meet a few of you soon, and I'm terrified. Super, super scared to meet any of you in person.</strong> I have 52 work days left at my job. Yes, I'm counting. I'm not giving it the attention or effort it deserves.

[QUOTE]OMG you guys! I'm not a dirty hoar for not washing my sheets as often as you're supposed to? Or wait... we're all dirty hoars, maybe. Nevermind. Confession: <strong>I think LilTexasGal writes insanely long novels for every post & it makes me not want to even read it because it'll take like 8 minutes to get through. I realize she hasn't posted in this thread just yet, but overall in general, it's something I've noticed. </strong>Confession: My mom is coming to North Jersey next weekend for my cousin's graduation party. She was supposed to come with me to the dress shop to see my wedding dress (that nobody has seen yet in person) while she's up that way but decided there isn't enough time & now I'm kind of sad. I know it's silly, she'll see it another day. I just want her to see it & love it.

[QUOTE]Yeah. I think saying you would NEVER get an abortion comes across a little judgy. Like, it's fine for other people, but you're way to good to ever end up in a situation where you would make that choice. I also think it's bullshit when pro-lifers make an exception for rape/the life of the mother. It's either killing a baby, or it's not. If you really think you're ending a human life, what makes it okay if that life were a product of rape? You're not allowed to kill newborns that were a product of rape, so if you really think that a 12 week old fetus is the exact same thing as a newborn, how the hell is it ok to terminate a pregnancy that's the result of a rape?

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions/Unpopular Opinions : Hahaha. I can just be really, really shy and I get nervous and super anxious about meeting new people. Which is dumb, I 'know' quite a few of you. It's my issue.

You're only nervous because you know people will hate you as much as I already do. You AND your ugly dress.
UO: I loathe self portrait pics on FB. There's a girl I used to babysit that seriously posts a pic of herself everyday. It's annoying.
Confession: I hate living in our condo anymore. H got the first time home buyers credit when we purchased it. We have to wait 1 more year before we can sell or we have to pay back the credit. If it wasn't extremely financially irresponsible I would sell right now. The fuel to this fire is the fact that the COA maintenance people knocked on my door earlier and came inside to check and see if our toilet was causing a leak in the condo beneath us. I feel like it was such an invasion of privacy.
I'll think of some U/Os.

This. I'd much rather be spending time with BF's family then mine..... mainly because of my mother. My siblings are pretty kick-a$$ - when my oldest little sister isn't being mopey and whiny
