Confessions

Over the past few days I have felt the need to confess some things, so here we go…

1) I watch Big Brother…and I like it.  I was happy when Danielle got voted off.

2) I eat cereal every night for dinner because a) I like it and b) it is easy.

3) I despise ironing and washing dishes, but I will do it if forced at gun point or in the alternative if I run out of clothes or dishes.

4) I am a nerd, and I have seen the Star Wars saga many times, and I prefer 4, 5, and 6 to 1, 2 or 3. 

5) I hid M&M’s in my house (because I am diabetic) but it’s been so long since I wanted them I don’t remember where I put them.

6) I am terrified of water…more specifically drowning in it.

7) I give people nicknames when I first meet them because I can’t remember their names, and those nicknames usually stick for the remainder of the time I know them (although they may never know I call them that).

8) I do not know the proper sequence of button strokes to make combo’s in Mortal Combat on Sega Genesis, but I can still kick some major booty because I just push all of the buttons as fast as I can.

9) My hair is totally white.

10) I can be lazy, see confession #2.

11) I have useless facts in my head that take up room for more important things like math or what I did yesterday.

12) I worry constantly and about everything even though I fully trust in God’s control and strength.  My Mom told me that when I was a child I would worry about the birds in the trees during storms.  I don’t know how to stop. 

13) I have a crush on Eric Balfour.

14) I cannot spell very well and am thankful for Spell Check on Microsoft Word.

15) I think lipstick tastes horrible.

16) I am usually late for most everything but that is because of a) I am not a good judge of time and b) all the clocks in my house have the wrong time and 2 of them do not even work.

17) I would rather not wear shoes.

18) The movie “The Decent” scared me so much I slept with the light on for several nights.  No other horror movie has ever done that and I love horror movies.

19) I am the person that actually reads the manuals or directions.

20) I cannot swim.  See confession # 6.

21) On Christmas Eve, no matter how old I am, I still believe in Santa Claus.

22) I take Flintstone vitamins.

23) I long to be in Ireland.

24) I actually like romantic comedies, but I would rather have the exhilaration of surviving a horror movie then the disappointment of watching someone else fall in love…and yes I realize how cynical that sounds. 

25) When I write I cannot listen to music.  I can’t sit in silence either, so I have the television on to some channel that will not hold my interest, like the cooking channel.

26) I still refer to Mark Wahlberg as Marky Mark, even though I believe he is a phenomenal actor.

27)  Any meal that I have at home is eaten in front of the television, even though I have a dining room table that seats 6.

28) I have never watched the entire movie “Gone with the wind”.

29) I can be hurtfully sarcastic, but 99% of the time my powers of sarcasm are used for good, like defusing a tense situation.

30) I am afraid.

I hope you enjoyed these and that some of them made you chuckle.  All of them are completely and 100% true.
