I've Got a Secret...

Actually, I have about a million secrets.

What girl doesn't, really?

For this weekend, you get a free pass to spill your guts. Anonymous commenting is back on. So click that Anonymous box. (It really does work!) I'm disabling everything that tracks where you came from. So, unless you accidentally forget to click Anonymous, no one is going to know who or where you are. And none of us are going to try to guess either, right? One suggestion for making absolutely sure that your comment is anonymous and that you don't accidentally include your name and url? Log out of Blogger/Wordpress/Google or whatever other program that brought you here. If you log out first, you'll be forced to select an option before posting your comment. And then you'll remember to stay anonymous. Easy peasy.

Here are a few ground rules before we get started:

1.  Please do not confess to a felony unless it's a really funny story and/or the statute of limitations has passed. I don't want to have to deal with any government agencies trying to subpoena records that I've disabled. It's just going to be a headache for me.

2.  You may comment on someone else's confession, but you may NOT be mean about it. If you want to reassure someone that their horrifying secret really is no big deal or you've got the same secret, that's great. Wonderful. Awesome, even. But please don't say that someone's secret is stupid or try to make them feel bad about it. We're being open and friendly here, people. Let's play nice.

3.  Please try to refrain from excessive vulgarity and profanity. (I know some of you will be very disappointed by this rule, but my parents apparently read my blog.)

Failure to comply with these rules (and any others that are currently unforeseen but might become necessary as the weekend progresses) may result in my deleting the comment. Since I won't know who you are, there won't be any other penalties. But I've got birthday parties and a date with the beach this holiday weekend. I don't have time to delete stuff. So please don't make me.

And now, let the secret spilling begin!

  1. I have only ever had two people say i was their best friend and they both betrayed me. It makes me doubt if i am worthy of friendship, if i did something by loving and trusting them. Maybe true friendship is something i should avoid to stay safe.

  2. We have two children and my husband and I have agreed not to have anymore... and yet, I am not on any kind of birth control, and I'm hoping for an "oops."

  3. Hi Karen! This looked like fun as I read it, but I'm sitting here now thinking,,,I can't think of anything to say that I'd want to be anonymous about! Duh! Oh well, I'll just say Have An Awesome Weekend! I enjoy reading your blog and have been very behind in my blog reading and commenting lately!

  4. I sometimes feel jealous when other bloggers get more comments and followers than me.

  5. Wow, this is a new idea in blogland.

    I don't have anything I want or need to confess...

    Have a wonderful day!!

  6. I love The Hoff, and am so excited for Dancing With the Stars, I can hardly stand it. It will be Hoffsome.

    I hope no one figures out who wrote this anonymous comment. I would be so embarrassed.

  7. Sometimes I feel so tired I just want to quit my job, take all my money out of the bank and disappear to a hotel in the middle of nowhere.

  8. I'm typing this with my left hand so you can't work out who I am.

    Actually, that helps, because it indicates I'm right handed.

    I mean, I'm typing this with my opposite hand so you can't work out who I am.

  9. I don't love the Hoff, but I will be saying "That's Hoffsome!" all through the season of DWTS now!

  10. I've written several love songs about ex-boyfriends but can't seem to write one about my husband, the love of my life.

  11. Sometimes I wish I could just call out some big time mommy bloggers on how superficial and dumb their blog truly looks when they say that they base their blog on being the pioneer of "True and Authentic Moms" without having them dedicate a whole post whining about how there was this one person that didn't follow their every world like a mombie (mom zombie)

    I mean for real Theta Mom it's kinda pathetic that the closest you've gotten to actually keeping to what you base your whole blog about is a confession over yelling at your daughter over spilled juice! Wow seriously!?!

    Ahhh...glad I get that off of my chest....

  12. First of all Karen...
    where's your secret? ; )

    Hmmm.. secret secret secret...

    Let's see,

    I feel like a fraud all the time, as a singer, songwriter, blogger, writer, burlesque performer, actress, mom, girlfriend etc... and I'm always waiting for somebody to finally discover reveal it.

  13. I'm not even interested in him, but I wish he would just ask me out already.

  14. I was suicidal for a really long time and never got help. I should have but I was in denial. I know that I would never do it now because I have found ways to be passionate about life, but sometimes those thoughts creep in on me. Especially when I get depressed. It doesn't help that my life isn't going the way I want it too either.

  15. I'm not a very good person but I put on a good face.

  16. I'm on vacay this weekend with my parents; they bicker so much it haunts me; I wish they would just be more loving and not so strong willed. I want them to make it forever. Sometimes they don't act like it's possible.

  17. I resent my parents for not helping me out more after high school. I hear people talk about their parents paying for college, paying for their wedding, helping them with a car, or even babysitting for them when they had kids. My parents didn't do any of that for me. It's hard not to be angry.

  18. I am not a lesbian, but sometimes I imagine what it would be like to kiss a girl.

  19. I hate my life and I don't know how to fix it.

  20. The pain in some of these comments is heartbreaking. I wish I knew who wrote them so I could give them a virtual hug.

    And to the person who is still struggling with suicidal thoughts occasionally - it is not too late to get help. If the thoughts are still surfacing occasionally you could benefit from discussing this with a professional. Think how much more you will enjoy your passion for life if you can keep your occasional depression at bay. Hugs my friend.

  22. I love seeing people sing and dance in the car while they drive. I'm working up the guts to do some spazztic car dancing...but only if I can hide behind my sunglasses. I hope it makes someone's day.

  23. I have a coworker who likes to watch people in the dairy cooler. Kinda weird but on my break I tried it and liked it ONCE.

  24. I feel like everyone I've ever loved with all my heart has dismissed me. My parents, my exhusband, and my three grown children.
