Confessions of a 20-something mother

Postby **Luet** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 11:35 am

I rarely ever click on all those youtube links you guys post. Why? Because the sound is always turned off on my computer and I'm too lazy to turn it on. Sad, I know.

I've now had it for 6 months, and I've only had one problem with Windows Vista: it wouldn't run Battlefield 2. I didn't care. I didn't want to play it. Which means...

I like Windows Vista. It's been more stable for me than XP ever was, things run better, it has many conveniences, and many more. Which also means I'm one of those people that scoffs when you blame Vista for your computer problems.

I apologize in advance.

I have a crush, and that scares me greatly.

Confession: I have considered plastic surgery and although I'll never do it, I think I would seriously pause and reconsider under two conditions: I had the spare money and I had a 100% guarantee that it would not harm/kill me (which will never happen; probably a good thing). I would have 3 things done but the only thing I'm willing to admit to is my nose. I can say the others aren't breast implants or liposuction of any sort.

Confession: I feel like it's bad of me to even consider it because the big thing to do is tell people they should love themselves exactly how they are.

Preachy moment: Loving & accepting yourself exactly as you are does not preclude wanting to change.

Confessional moment that somewhat undercuts above: I am so grossed out. In the car today, I looked at myself in the rearview mirror and saw a dark hair stuck to my neck. I tried to brush it off, and it turned out it was growing out of my neck. About an inch long. Like, about halfway down my neck where no hair should be. I cannot but wonder how long it was there before I yanked it out. Ew.

Also, I occasionally find white hairs growing out of my scalp. I yank them. I'm pretty sure it's the same 2 or 3 that keep trying to grow back. Eventually, I'm hoping learned helplessness principles will kick in and they'll just give up.

I gave up on the grey hair thing when I was about 18. Now I just think of it as tinsel. It's so sparkly against the rest of my very dark hair!

I have a twin neck hair that I try to remember to pluck before it gets longer than 1/4" or so.

Also, I consider myself fairly fortunate that I didn't find my first grey hair until I was around 27. Now, five years later, I only find and pull out 5-6 of them every couple months.

Confession:

My intern buddy is much more suited for the potential job opening that I just found out about today than I am.

And I'm not going to tell him about it.

Confession: I almost cried in class that day.

You know something's wrong when Taylor polynomials make you tear up.

Confession:

My intern buddy is much more suited for the potential job opening that I just found out about today than I am.

And I'm not going to tell him about it.

And that resolution to be hard-hearted and cutthroat lasted all of about ten minutes when he came into the office that day. It led into a very interesting discussion about the course of our careers.

I hope they hire two people, and it's us that they hire.

But if it's one opening and the two of us -- yeah, they'll want him.

*double post*

I nearly spit out my coffee laughing at xkcd today. It's been a long time since I've done that.

LilBee91 · Postby **LilBee91** » Mon Jan 19, 2009 1:59 pm

confession: I didn't get today's xkcd. Or maybe I did, and just didn't find it funny.

Have you heard the 12-inch pianist joke?

It almost made me roll my eyes at the screen. But not bad.

LilBee91 · Postby **LilBee91** » Tue Jan 20, 2009 2:30 am

Okay. Now I get it. Thanks.

I'm glad it was just an allusion I missed, not some complete mental failure.

starlooker · Postby **starlooker** » Tue Jan 20, 2009 9:04 am

I always heard it as 9-inch pianist

I think half the reason I liked it so much was understanding the allusion.

Confessions · Postby **Confessions** » Wed Jan 21, 2009 2:35 am

Confession: Starting right after I post this, I'm going to stop posting as Confessions. Not because I feel safe posting as me, but because I always say too much under Confessions.

I always heard it as 9-inch pianist :)

Generally the idea is to gain length. ;)

Confession: I've now watched the first three seasons of How I Met Your Mother in about a month's time and it never fails that I am reminded of Jeebsy by Neil Patrick Harris' character (Barney).

Confession: after being here x amount of years, every once in a while I try to log into the Confessions account and remember that I've never been able to figure out the password.

Young Val · Postby **Young Val** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 12:12 am

the password is "guilty"

Mich · Postby **Mich** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 2:44 am

But then why the whole "to be" bit? Unless... OH, it means the password is to remain guilty.

You would not believe the passwords I tried.

Young Val · Postby **Young Val** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 8:11 am

I know. It was horribly phrased. I've been tempted to change it on several occasions.

Postby **Eaquae Legit** » Sun Jan 25, 2009 8:34 am

I think I phrased it that after someone early on logged in and changed the password to something else. After I switched it back, I must have been feeling irritated. Man, it's like an archaeological dig, only with poorly-phrased snark instead of Roman ruins...

I'll change it now, I guess.

Confession: I always thought that Confessions was an actual person.

I honestly don't know whether we will be able to buy food next month.

Confessions · Postby **Confessions** » Mon Jan 26, 2009 6:48 pm

Lately I have had a feeling of hopelessness and depression and a thought of killing myself. And I feel like there is something wrong with my heart. It feels funny sometimes.

Postby **Eaquae Legit** » Mon Jan 26, 2009 6:53 pm

I have serious email avoidance issues. It's going to get me in trouble someday.

Confession: The enemy's gate is down, and no amount of fear can put it back up again.

Mich · Postby **Mich** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 12:38 am

Confessions: I am so incredibly inept at attempting to make connections with girls that it is past the real of humor, it is merely sad, like a crying clown. Apparently I'm doomed to just wait around for them to make connections with me.

Doooooooooomed.

starlooker · Postby **starlooker** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 8:58 am

I have 18 messages on my voice mail.

Because I've started avoiding my money issues again and now I'm afraid to listen to them.

And, just like I tell my clients happens when you start avoiding, it is not getting easier to go back and face them.

Mich · Postby **Mich** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 3:25 pm

Confession/Question: how long have we had the option to delete posts!?

Postby **Jayelle** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 4:00 pm

For....ever?

Mich · Postby **Mich** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 5:23 pm

And now you know my confession. All those accidental double-posts... they could have been fixed.

I need more jeans. I think I have exactly one unholy pair. That's not a good collection.
