Anonymous Confessions!

[queerbychoice]

Everyone needs to go here immediately and leave a fun anonymous confession for vaysha.

Actually (here's my non-anonymous confession), I'm terribly jealous. I mean, I've never not had anonymous comments enabled and IP logging disabled on my journal, but people never leave me any intriguing anonymous confessions.

Eventually, Vaysha will re-enable her usual higher level of security in her journal and the opportunity to confess to her anonymously will be gone. But when that happens, I want you to remember that my own journal is always open for you to continue daily anonymous confessions to your heart's content.

I confess that it's terribly sadenning to see you write posts all late at night and then look over at my empty buddy list. AIM is your friend, Gayle!

Unfortunately I had already gone to bed before you left me this comment, so I did not see it. Which also goes some way toward pointing out why I was not on AIM in the first place; I was planning to go to bed soon.

Hrrrmph. You're never on aim. At least.. not when I can see.

I am on AIM every Sunday afternoon, quite reliably. All you have to do is show up at the appointed time.

Catholicism,
oh no!
I never thought about it that way.
=/

not so fun when you look at it like that, tis true.
I put it up before bed thinking it might even spur some creative writing for my sleepless friends and did not imagine any one would see it like Catholicsim. *shudder*

no way - nothing like catholicism. in catholicism you're supposed to confess and y'know, do something about it. it's an admission of guilt. i like the idea of just... admitting. it's an amazing thread to read, if only because it seems like everyone's secrets are so basically similar, having to do with lust and regret and desire for love.

i don't think i've ever left an anonymous comment on lj until today. :)

and, a confession, i'm jealous too, because i didn't think of the idea first.

Just don't let my Irish Catholic grandparents hear you saying that . . .

Really what I love about it is reading other people's confessions. I love any opportunity to find out what people are really like inside, and trying to guess whether these are people I actually know makes it all so much better.

I attempted to confess something myself for the sake of contributing to the spirit of it all, but it didn't end up coming out very confession-like and I was just left wondering why I bothered making it anonymous. Mine is this one.

But I wouldn't at all mind someday getting to confess things like this.

"it was not hard to tell which one was yours. :)"

gah! see, i had this feeling i would be terribly easily recognizable. perhaps i could confess better if people did not already know me so well that i have no hope of ever not being recognized by them. :p

i really hate almost all histories though. i can only get into them if they're a specific kind of history which i am reading to gather specific kinds of evidence to prove a specific point to someone else . . . generally, social constructionist queer history which i am reading for the purposes of queer by choice arguments. when history is presented without a particular agenda that i have a particular interest in, i can't deal with it at all, and so what little general information i've managed to absorb about the past i've absorbed through reading literature, i.e. first person accounts of individual lives that happened to take place in the past and thus give me some vague notion of what life was like for oridinary people at that time. i can't muster any kind of interest in the non-ordinary people and their stupid wars and all the names and places and dates.

"and really don't want to know what most people are like inside, any more than i'd want them to know anything more than necessary about me."

how on earth can you have ended up majoring in english literature with sentiments like that???

[queerbychoice.livejournal.com]

funny; you seem so un-argumentative with me.

my college didn't have any separation between literature and creative writing majors. not even a separate concentration within the english major. creative writing was my field of interest, and i took as many creative writing classes as i could, but in the official documents there's no distinction made.
