Monday Confessional #1
Ever heard of this site? Careful. It's addicting.
This will be my weekly version. Sometimes I'll provide background information. Other times I'll just blurt it out, publish, and run. They won't always be naughty. Sometimes they'll be painful. But, they will always be secrets that I have never told another soul. Until you, internet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I once threw a brick.
Through my boyfriend's window.
And keyed his truck.
And his boat.
Then blamed it on the girl with whom he was cheating.
And he believed me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fifty-one more weeks to confess all of my sins before I'm 30. Stay tuned.
I adore PostSecret. Every time I go there I end up laughing and crying and with chills.
Thirty's not too bad so far. Promise.

I visit Postsecret because I'm curious, but I'm skeptical that most of the "secrets" are real. I think people come up with some ridiculous ones just to get posted. I know, I'm cold-hearted.

Now that's revenge.

Ooh, that's mean - I'm sure he deserved it! I'll never understand cheating. Breaking up hurts way less - and you don't need an STD check!
My sister in law told me to check that site out, I went there and someone had a nude chest shot - that looked amazingly similar to mine! Not that I have an enormous lot of these types of pictures lying around - and the setting was all wrong - but it was so creepy I never went back.

It takes guts to tell the truth that's for sure. I can recall my own rage at spurned love. Apparently I lacked your creativity, which is why your confessional reminded me of a minister's pre-Christian story. As a teen, he had fallen in love with a girl in the next small town over. Then one day he heard rumors that she had taken up with another. Hitchhiking to her house, he climbed a tree outside her window and saw it was true -- she was with another guy. He then proceeded to get drunk on some liquor he had with him and to plot his revenge. In the wee hours of the morning a bread delivery truck dropped its shipment at the local supermarket next door. An idea was born! Using bread slices he spelled out his girl's name in huge letters across the parking lot. Feeling both vindicated and ill he walked home, climbed in bed and fell asleep. He awoke to police at the door and his artwork displayed on local TV. Some revenge bites back.

Gah. I don't think I could confess them all in only 51 weeks. I love this idea, though.

What a cleansing/brillian idea before your birthday - we all should do that 30 days prior to a birthday....we might enjoy our big days more! What are your plans for the big day? Do tell! Do tell! I bet a "Wheeeeeee!" will be in order!
I love that site btw....great idea for your site - geeze....just when I think it's already perfect! :)
(FWIW- I'm sure he deserved it...and wow- how lucky you were not to be found out....)

He definitely did deserve it. I enjoyed it at the time. Now, I cannot believe I would invest so much energy into a ...guy. Can anyone say "MOVE ON LENA"?
I have no plans for my 30th. Aside from drunkenly falling down a ravine. Or something.

YOU ROCK. I'd never have the courage to do that to a man who SO deserved it (as it sounds like this one did). You're my new hero.

Good job confessing! I wish I had the courage to do that. Maybe for my 40th birthday (n 5 years...Yikes!)

Wow, it's so unlike a woman to be this devious...
Posted by: Jay | 08/22/2006 at 03:15 PM
Good for you! I wish I was barve enough to share my secrets, good or bad. I would love to do it. Seems like it would be cleansing, to just get it out there in to the universe (cyber or otherwise).
And, he totally had it coming.

er.... brave.
Posted by: Linsey | 08/22/2006 at 09:52 PM
You JUST turned 29.
Um. I'm scared for you. Would if he's literate, and he has a computer, and he's reading this, and he finds out, and he throws a brick through YOUR window, and keys YOUR car... or whatever????
I like it though. I like it.
