*Confessions*
This is a thread about confessions. If you are not going to post any confessions, please don't flame others for what they wish to get off of their own chest. I guess, i will start.

~The rules~
You may post as many confessions as you would like. You may give as much or as little details about said confessions as you would like. You may not critique, but only provide sources of information about said confessions.

1) I am visiting VA for the holiday and will go back to NC tomorrow, but i don't want to go back...
2) I really hate my voice. I wish there was something i could do to fix it :(
3) School starts back January 7th, and i am not ready to go back. {I love school, but i wish the break was longer}

Your turn.... :hi:

1. What is it about NC that you don't want to come back to ?
I am just curious ... maybe you should venture outside of NC to see what you like about it.

5. I live in Willow Springs
Which is about 15 to 20 mins from Raleigh, and where i live there is nothing to do. I just don't like NC anymore. I was born in VA and raised in NJ. Carolina will never be the sparkle in my eye. Thus, i want to go to college out of state. I love the people and the weather is ok, but something is missing.....

11. You are young. Go see the world
and then you will realize that NC is your home.

I know. Believe me.

(wife born VA, raised NC--couldn't wait to leave. Here we are.)

This is really it. And we live "close" to you.

24. I confess that I know a really dumb old tired outdated Fuquay-Varina joke!
New guy moves to the Triangle. Drives on the highway past the Fuquay-Varina exit every day. Sees the sign day after day. Finally can't take it any more. Gets off the highway. Looks for somewhere to ask his question. Finds a place open, goes in, asks How do you pronounce the name of this place?

Clerk looks at him and very slowly says:

Burrr gerrr king





(it was funny in the late 1980s)

40. Its what you make it .
You would be surprised how many people have actually heard of Fuquay Varina. Research Triangle Park ? Hello. People think of technology and opportunity.

But if you want to leave then leave and don't stay here and be miserable as if a snake is about to bite. I moved to Germany and realized how much I loved calling North Carolina home.

28. No, it was Lukas.
I stuck a fork in him. He's done.

As for Alan...I'm just getting warmed up. Hey, at least he's more my age, all dressed up like an adult wizard.

3. MM, ok, I'll play....
1.) I've done things I'm really not proud of. Not many, but I have a very hard time letting go and realizing I'm human, and we all make mistakes.

2.) I'm really a slacker. I just play a put-together-adult on TV. I'm lazy, and force myself not to be, sometimes with more success than others.

3.) My anxiety/phobia sometimes makes me wonder if I'm nuts. Meh.

33. My boring confessions...
1. I love the ABC soap operas and tape them.
2. I peel the dry skin from my thumbs until they bleed sometimes which my SO hates.
3. I am not a big jazz fan even though I work at a jazz radio station.

There must be something more shocking buried deep within me someplace but I don't know what it is.

35. Dull, dull, dull....
1. I get obsessive at times.

2. I watch (and enjoy) ABC soaps. No other network...only ABC.

3. I have a very good memory.

4. I tend to hide how I feel most of the time.

37. A friend and I took dried cowshit and marijuana seeds
and put them together in a bag and gave them to a guy when I was 16 on a scouting trip. We'd smoked all the weed already and he was spouting off about wanting some. We gave it to him and the next time we saw him he was all mellow and quiet like he was stoned. Maybe those cows had been eating some plants :shrug:

I fell through the ceiling of my fraternity house (that i later was kicked out of) on a "work day" with parents there to paint and clean. I was still drunk from the night before when I did it and just stepped onto the ceiling instead of the studs.

I've met one DUer in person, and it was a nice meeting if ya know what I mean :evilgrin:

53. You made me remember sitting with my friend in a small cave above the timberline
in the White Mountains of New Hampshire in ~1967, smoking indigenous dried rabbit droppings rolled in zig-zags, and laughing as a cub scout troop hiked by, oblivious to our presence. (We were into self discovery through experimenting with weird natural substances) :rofl:

Maybe the cows who produced your 'fake weed' had been munching on 'magic mushrooms', which were known to sprout from cow patties. ;)

44. Okay,
I hate school and I don't want to go back, last semester didn't go too well.
I hate myself for not being outgoing and I blame my parents for that (they never encourage me as a kid).
I wish I looked like Naomi Campbell minus her crazy antic of course.x(
I am selfish, others have it worse than me.
I wish I had a talent.

52. .
I went from a 3.7 GPA last spring to a 3.0 GPA this fall and I got a D in one class and I think one B and 3 Cs (I feel stupid)

The strange thing is I was so out of it from the beginning of the semester and not to mention I hated every single class I took.

:( I didn't make honors. Hopefully the spring semester will be better.

Edited on Wed Jan-02-08 02:24 AM by tammywammy
I'm an accountant and I really love it.
My dirty dishes are piling up since I don't have hot water (I get a new water heater on Thursday)
Oh, and one of my cats ate part of my cinnamon toast earlier and I don't know if I should be freaked out by it.

You're doing way better than most of us were at your age.

58. i've been around for a long, long year
stole many a man's soul and faith

i was round when jesus christ had his moment of doubt and pain
made damn sure the pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate

i killed the czar and his ministers
anastasia screamed in vain

i rode a tank held a general's rank
when the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank
