Confessions of a 20-something mother

[Young Val]

confession: i borrowed Sense and Sensibility from my roommate and went to the diner and ordered a HEALTHY dinner (thus sticking to my new over-all healthier lifestyle plan) and read and ate alone at the counter.

my confession is that i identified entirely too much with Marianne this time around, when i know myself to be Elinor-esque in general. oh my.

[VelvetElvis]

Identify with whomever you want to identify with.

Confession: I think I might not want to be a nurse anymore.

[Jayelle]

I love Marianne.

The Kate Winslet version of the movie is truly excellent.

[Young Val]

i ADORE kate winslet in that movie (and also in pretty much everything).

gah. i want to watch it now! and read the book at the same time!

I watched titanic last night. and cried.

Confession:
I just ate about 8 caramel hershey kisses. And I think I'm okay with that.

Confession: I think the Luet here overwrote my memory of the Enderverse Luet. I can't remember who that is in the books anymore.

...and just looked it up, that the Luet character is from the Homecoming series. Even though it's been awhile since I read those, it still seems odd that I can't remember her at all.

[Luet]

Confession: I'm flattered by that...even tho it probably has nothing to do with me really.

And Luet is the girlfriend/wife of Nafai, the main male character and youngest son in the Homecoming series.

Confession: When I buy a drink from a vending machine or almost anywhere, I choose milk, juice or diet. Not because I believe myself to be fat, but because the obesity problem in America has me scared straight, you might say.

[Virlomi]

Confession:

I've never told anyone this, but on the old board when I didn't have time to read all of the new posts I would just go to the search and type in my name to see if anyone wrote anything to or about me. Which was just as narcissistic as it sounds. The truth is that if I were really being honest in the "what do you like least about the new board" threads it would be that the search doesn't work that way anymore, and there's no way to see what people are saying about you. Apparently I really am this vain.

[ValentineNicole]

I won't even pick juice or milk, and I don't consider myself heavy either. It's water or diet for me...
The thought of juice or milk freaks me out a little bit.

Confession:
I have a paper due in 3 hours that I have yet to begin. And I'm on pweb. During a class.

Confession: For the past two days i've been living on those chocolate cherry hersey's kisses and white chocolate mocas from starbucks. The thought of real food has been making me sick. I think it's the snow.

Also, i'm scared to death to drive to work in the snow. So far i've been ok, but my car has NO traction. It's scary sometimes.

[fawkes]

I'm planing on copy-pasting my philosophy paper from the powerpoint presentations the teacher used.

White Chocolate Mocha!!! Chocolate Cherry Kisses!
I envy you! Those are favorites of mine!

Confession:

I JUST figured out that Helenberrycrunch is the same Helen I knew from the old board. And I'm not going to lie, I was getting a little bit annoyed because she kept making references to the older community and I kept thinking... "you've been here a month, how do you know that!"

...And now I feel like an idiot.

I'm sorry, Helen!

[Jebus]

Well, duh, she's mentioned it like ten times, n00b.

[Eaquae Legit]

I heard a kind singing one of the themes from Fullmetal Alchemist today ("Brothers" - the Russian language one), and not only did it make me smile, I recognised it. And own it.

I didn't notice, because I just figured i didn't post enough on the old board to make an impression. I feel all warm and fuzzy now.

[Eaquae Legit]

I kept the laundromat open 15 minutes past close. I feel really bad about that.

Most of the time I love my neighbourhood. I love the mix of cultures and the fact that I can buy pocky. But sometimes I really wish there were more first-language English speakers around.

Heath Ledger and Brokeback Co-Star Williams to Wed

When I read this headline I just sorta assumed that Co-Star Williams was the other dude. It was funnier before I read the article.

C#2: I really dig these ballons

Confession:
I'm still sad Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe split up.

[VelvetElvis]

I was thrilled when I was asked to teach this class. It makes me the youngest Sunday School teacher at the church by quite a bit.

As time goes on and we have finshed the entire book of Genesis, I am starting to feel aprehensive. Those little second grade lambs are so open to hearing His Word, so excited about what they are learning and so eager to learn more. When they ask questions they ask good questions. And I give them good answers.

I can't help but feel that I am messing up in some way. I feel like at any moment something will break and turn those fertile little hearts against learning about Him.

[ValentineNicole]

Confession:
The more I date the guy I've been seeing, the more I realize he's best friend potential, not relationship/marriage potential...
And I love him - in that way...

[steph]

It's almost 2 am, and I'm still up.

I've been writing my personal history from the beginning. We were reading in Brian's college journal before bed. I've thrown away every journal I've ever written in, because I'm too scared that someone will find it and find out who I really am, that I'm not the facade that I put on every day. As we were laying down to sleep, I asked Brian if he felt like he knew much about my past and he said no. And then I couldn't sleep, because I felt so bad, so sad. It's easy for me to share my heart with someone, but not my life, not where I've been. And I just want him to know and understand that part of me.

[Virlomi]

I think that's beautiful, Steph.

Be sure not to forget the part when you met the most amazing girl on earth.

[steph]

Jani, don't make me cry!

You're sweet.

i like hearing people's life stories as well.


confession: henry is insisting on trying to work some sort of middle ground out for us. he's desperate to be friends. my confession is that i after i read his latest email this afternoon, i just feel totally indifferent. i know that this is purely a cover. i just can't bear to feel any more about this. it's time to go into emotional lockdown. but still. it is strange. to read his words and not feel anything at all.

[Dr. Mobius]

Life stories are good, although I really don't have much of one for myself. And I think people are starting to get sick of hearing about the one thing...

[Eaquae Legit]

I love life stories. I love stories in general. I love hearing them. I love telling them.

Actually, one way for me to deal with loss and grieving is to tell stories. I think, somehow when I've told a story about someone who's gone now, I feel like they're still alive. And they won't ever be really dead, unless the stories die.

Stories are important.

When I think about how my mom took her tape recorder and got stories from my Uncle John and my Aunt Kay (and a couple others) before they died, I tear up, I'm so grateful.

I don't like the idea of the past being lost. It's a very sad thing, for me. That's part of why I miss Pweb II so much. My stories are gone.

[starlooker]

Me too. In regards to Pweb II.

I'm generally a very private person but I go through phases where sometimes I just want to stop people on the street and make them listen to me and just tell them my life. There aren't a lot of people in my life anymore who actually know my life. That makes me sad.

[VelvetElvis]

Confession: It annoys me when some calls a woman an angel.

"You look like an angel!"
"Thank you, I was trying for masculine."


THERE ARE NO REFERENCES TO FEMALE ANGELS IN THE BIBLE.

[fawkes]

I don't think my student loan went through, and I'm afraid to tell my parents.

[Young Val]

confession: it's friday night and i am staying in. again. it's like my default setting: no life.
