10 Confessions

I got this email thingy from a friend, so I thought I'd play along:

1. I haven't been to a movie theater since 2003.
2. I've never read Catcher in the Rye.
3. Mariah Carey? Mariah I-Don't-Carey. Blech!
4. I HATE being in crowds of people. It makes me very dizzy.
5. I have no idea what looks good on me and haven't been clothes shopping in years.
6. I smile entirely too much. It's deceiving.
7. I have arguments with people I have never met. I usually win these.
8. I posed nude in Italy, then had my salad tossed by the artist.
9. I swear that I am giving up writing at least 5 times a year.
10. When we were kids, my two brothers and I went to a costume party as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from the bible. We were accused of wearing dresses. I looked fabulous.

1. Damn, you have me beat by 2 or 3 years.
2. I think if you don't read this as a teen or in your early 20s, you shouldn't bother.
4. Me, too - the hating, not the dizzy.
9. Nooooo!

1. I don't blame you. See my response to #4.
2. I have and I don't remember it. That me be more blasphemous.
3. PREACH IT!
4. Ditto. I wear earbuds and listen to music if I'm alone in a crowd (ie airports, malls, stores). If I'm with someone else in a crowd I'm ok and strangely enough if I'm in a foreign country I'm ok. But in the US - earbuds and playlist are vital to my survival.
5. I must come take you shopping. You would melt the hearts and groins of every store clerk out there.
6. Tears of a clown. Yeah, know that one, too.
7. Lol!
8. Bonus!
9. Please don't do it.
10. Ugh, I was just starting to write my review of Galley Proof and was mentioning that I'm a (reformed?) pastor's kid. As if you can even really escape it. *sigh* So I did more religious dress up events/pageants/plays/skits/torture scenes that I can count and keep what's left of my sanity. A very religious upbringing does something to you. What that all means, ask me on my deathbed. In the meantime, stay out of that fiery furnace!

Stacey, Re:"A very religious upbringing does something to you." Don't I know it!

you're amazing - Hanover College should put you on its website as an example of the type of Renaissance man it turns out

Eric Arvin said...

Bill, Ha! Love it.

2. Sometimes, after you've read a "classic", you're left with the feeling that you've wasted a big chunk of your life. Though I read CITR so long ago I don't remember one way or the other.
3. Me either. And after seeing Jennifer Hudson stuff her still too fat ass in still too many diet commercials, I am starting to feel the same way about her.
5. Guys with big juicy butts and tits should be nekkid anyway.
8. WHORE!!! ;)

9. It's good that you can't commit to quitting. We can learn from you.
