Confession: I don't use big kid soap. I use Johnson's baby bath. The lavender and chamomile kind.











Because I like the way it smells ok?!?

just when I begin to feel all soft and lovey toward my husband, he says or does something so incredibly STUPID, I flip off cold again.

I don't think that's a confession, so much as a normal fact of life. Unless it takes months or days to warm to him. In which case, *hugs*.

I think my favourite thing about hanging around one forum for a long time is watching newbs grow into accepted members and then seeing them get on people's case for being newbies.

Just the other day I was considering picking up some Johnson's No More Tears baby shampoo... sometimes I just want to relive my early childhood through scents.

Even though its only been a few weeks and it's not really bad yet, I'm feeling a lot of comfort in the fact that my eating patterns have been reversing themselves. I'm not sure I want them gone.

Both. It's a high form of honor to be eaten by Jan, however I've heard her stomach can be quite nasty.

I tend to usually have a second tab open in Firefox just so it'll give me a warning if I overshoot the back arrow and close the window instead. I probably shouldn't have it set to use the small icons, but I like having the few extra pixels of screen real estate.

I saw Irreversible last night with some friends, and I wasn't nearly as disturbed by it as they all seemed to be. Clearly, I must be a horrible person.

Confession: I thought about stealing the account. It was quite tempting and I even created a throw-away email address just for the occasion. But in the end I decided against it. Who knows, maybe this thing will be put to good use. Although it does go against the intended purpose of the thread if the confession is anonymous, in my opinion.

confession: i know my mom loves me and is proud of me but sometimes i can't help but feel like she's horribly horribly sad that i am the person i am. not normal. not like her. not living up to my potential.

confession: from when i was 13 to when i was 16 i cut myself. one night when i was 14, after i'd been cutting, i wanted to grab a glass of water before going to bed. my mom was passed out at the kitchen table from drinking. i didn't catch a cabinet door quick enough and it slammed. she woke up, came into the kitchen, saw my cuts and asked about them. i lied thinking there weren't really enough to be completely obvious and said i'd had an allergic reaction to something so i scratched my skin pretty badly trying to get it to stop itching. she started BAWLING. she said she knew they weren't from my nails, they were too straight, too even in depth. she told me whatever it was wasn't worth doing that to myself. we didn't talk for years about it after that. i asked to start therapy when i was 15 and contemplating suicide. i didn't really clear anything up in therapy, or find ways to cope... i think i just started growing numb to it a lot of the time. or i'd escape from it by taking drugs, heading to the beach, reading, watching movies, drinking, etc.

i still have the itching in my wrists sometimes, but it's fleeting. i'm not *super* happy about where i am in my life right now but it's much better than it was 3-6 years ago. i don't really get depressed unless my mom's unhappy and there's nothing i can do to help her.

this past month has been really really tough. getting in a wreck, not being able to pay my bills, moving friends only to have the house be robbed, losing my dog and know that my friends are going to move again but that i cannot possibly help them. i want to cry, but i can't. i cried and cried when we had the wreck and i cried and cried when they told me kiki ran away. the rest of the time i'm mostly numb about it. it makes me uncomfortable.

i know it will be getting better soon. i just wish it'd hurry up.

Confession: I should study. I have a final at 1 I haven't begun to study for. If I don't study, I should sleep. I got one hour of sleep last night. Unfortunately, all I want to do is play online and watch a movie..

That joke is old, the answer is: to kill the dog on Sunday!

Confession: I kinda like the pain she causes me. It's the only thing I feel nowadays that I'm allowed to feel. That could be why I keep trying...

Pain, without love
Pain, can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
Cuz I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all


...yeah.
