Confessional Shed - I'll keep a look-out

[Lani]

Open yourself up. Reveal your darkest secrets.

Here's mine:
Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome is one of my all-time favorite movies.

[Tractor]

While my darkest secrets would no doubt get me arrested and/or ostracized, I'll just go for some lesser ones

I enjoy watching Project Runway.
I have an irrational fear of large bodies of water.

[Narsil]

Um, I have a slight paranoia about the number 23.

See, my bus number is 23, my birthday is May 18 (5+18 ), the other day I saw a guy reading "Dante's Inferno" and the book had 23 written on it, every time I clock a a clock it's xx:23, I do calculations in my head every time I see a series of numbers to see if they make 23.....

[Lani]

I'm the evil twin.

I shave the goatee so you can't see it.

[Tractor]

I'm the evil twin.

I shave the goatee so you can't see it.

Hrm...I have a goatee. I wonder where my good twin wandered off to. And/or where I buried the body...

Also, what about female evil twins? As I doubt they would have a goatee, they would be hard to distinguish. Although the argument could be made that all females are evil anyway...

[ivnja]

lol yeah, i'd seen the proof before - the best part about that page is the collection of comments at the bottom

[rachel]

I am afraid of zombies and being alone in the dark.


But mostly I am afraid being alone.

[Jesse]

I like wrestling.

Even though it's pretty gay.

[Judas Maccabeus]

I am absolutely deathly afraid of heights. Not to the same point as normal people--I can barely put a hand out over a drop over 4-5 meters or so without some tremor going through me. Heaven help me if I look at a drop that low...

The odd thing is, I have almost no fear of several things (like snakes and spiders) that other people are often scared of--I am by no means a fearful person. I know a fear of heights is common, but for it to be this strong with no precedent to cause it just strikes me as odd.

[hermaj]

I'm scared of knives. I'm okay to use them in cooking but I have trouble trusting them in the hands of other people. This may or may not have been influenced by my ex-boyfriend bringing scalpels to my 16th birthday party and a customer waving a knife in my face. I get nervous when customers at work buy utility knives or knife sets or ask to borrow the scissors in case they pull them out and try to kill me.

[no-genius]

But mostly I am afraid being alone.

Aw, I'lll marry you! (again...)

[cmacis]

I do a mathematics degree and enjoy it.

I spotted the fallacy in the girls=evil argument quickly (squaring and sqrt, should be girls=+evil or girls=-evil).

Yep, generally I am white and nerdy.

[Toeofdoom]

Im scared of bees, and you'll very often see me dodge around them while i'm walking if theyre around >.>

Mainly because my dad is allergic, and i might be too and i dont care to find out

[no-genius]

I'm scared of dogs. and spiders.

Weird thing is, when I was a kid I got bitten by a cat (just a little nip i guess?). But I'm scared of dogs! What the hell is up with that?

[The Sleeping Tyrant]

I have webbed toes. ;o

[Judas Maccabeus]

I spotted the fallacy in the girls=evil argument quickly (squaring and sqrt, should be girls=+evil or girls=-evil).

Well, you could say that girls are |evil|, in other words, absolutely evil.

[aldimond]

1. No, that would be |girls|=evil.

2. My dark secret is that I'm posting here instead of doing work :O

[Gordon]

1. No, that would be |girls|=evil.

2. My dark secret is that I'm posting here instead of doing work :O

That's all I got for now too. I don't usually keep secrets so I'll have to sit and think a while before I come up with a real post.

[Judas Maccabeus]

1. No, that would be |girls|=evil.

1. Are you sure? My memory says that if x = √2², then x = ±2, thus x = |2|. It's been a while since I've done proper algebra, so if I'm wrong with that I'm willing to admit defeat.

2. That would still work with the argument, probably better, since that would read as "the absolute value of girls is evil."

[no-genius]

no, if x = ±2, then |x| = 2. if x = |2|, then x = 2 and you only have one solution. Where did the other solution go? It fled from you're notation abuse. And called lani on the abuse hotline, but there was nothing she could do for it YOU KILLED -2 !!!

[ivnja]

x = ±2, thus x = |2|

aldimond's got you on that one...the absolute value of a number is, by definition, positive, i.e. |2| = 2 and |-2| = 2



......right, what no-genius said. minus the "you're" in "your notation"

[Judas Maccabeus]

Alright then, I'm wrong. Not the first time.


...please don't charge me with murder... maybe at most, involuntary numberslaughter.

[hermaj]

I love these forums. Everything turns into maths, and I have no idea why.

[German Sausage]

i'm really uncomfortable around animals that are bigger than me. i know they're not going to, but IF a cow were to turn on me, i'd have NO CHANCE. they can run pretty fast, and they're really fucken heavy.

also that i'll be uninteresting. not that i'll lead a life unworthy of biography, thats irrelevant, but that those around me will be "oh, i think i know who hugh is, isn't he that guy who...no, wait thats dave."
basically if i can have a positive and profound personal impact on my friends, and they remember me, i'll be happy. but i worry that this is far from a certainty

just hit em with your hat... the cows...

my ex is afraid of the dark and cuts herself... my deepest secret was hers... she told me it so that made it 50% mine right?...

[aldimond]

GS: They can run a bit, and they're heavy, but they're also not very agile. If you kept it changing directions for a while eventually it would probably break its ankles and you'd win.

hermaj: Yeah, math or death-battles against various animals/children/whatnot.

Rat: I nominate you for thread winnar!

[ivnja]

and when neither of those, sex. or boobs.

[Eschatokyrios]

I... I like Magical Girl anime. I think frilly pink magic spells and middle school girls worrying about how to confess their affection to hot guys is terribly cute.

I don't think I can claim heterosexuality anymore.

fuck that's like... 3 nominations now! when is the awards ceremony?

[German Sausage]

on the general page. honestly. go and bask, kiddo.

[no-genius]

......right, what no-genius said. minus the "you're" in "your notation"

eh. i'm tired and i'm gonna watch the x-files

[Gordon]

That reminds me, I forgot to turn on my torrents before I left for work!

Decided to download the seasons so I could rewatch them all... gone through the first 6 and about 30% done getting the 7th.


I mean... I purchased them all legally and I've saved up 30% of the cost of the 7th season... which is in stores...

[Peshmerga]

I must confess my lust for all things hermaj.

And Godiva.

[aldimond]

I must confess my lust for all things hermaj.

I think that I speak for all of us when I say that I'm shocked.

I mean, however would we have known?

Your secret's safe with us.

[Twasbrillig]

I masturbate.

ZOMG THE TRUTH FINALLY ARISES

[aisling]

Since I got contact lenses, I've been terribly scared of impaling my eyes on anything which juts out of any object. I mean tree branches, those little hooks for random products at the grocery store, anything protruding from the ground which could potentially cause harm, I'm very weary of. My glasses used to be a form of protection from these dangers, I've even had things hit me right in the glasses and they've saved my vision, but now I don't have anything standing between sharp objects and the squishy spheres that are my eyeballs. I solved that problem, during the summer months, with a pair of large fashionable sunglasses (purchased from hot topic.. oh the shame. But I'm Canadian, it's a novelty for me.) but now that it's winter and not so bright anymore, I don't really find myself needing them.


Afterthought here: I believe the sunglasses are featured in my post in the "Post your face" thread.

[Rat]

im sure with glasses a lot of the things that hit it make you THINK it wouldve hit your eyes otherwise, but as it turns out your eyes probably wont get poked out any time soon

[auntiesue]

I do not understand many of these comics. AND after someone explained the "Sudo" one to me I spent almost a year mispronouncing "Sudo"

[Narsil]

No, but you're right up there for Future Tranny of the Year award.

[Alisto]

I murdered a man by setting his car dealership on fire with him in it.

Note: This is a confession from the future. My head gasket went yesterday. I have very very strong reason to believe that the man who sold me my car 2.5 months ago knew about the problem and just gave it a quick patch job before putting the car up for sale. If my mechanic confirms this... well, things will not end well.
