me, too.

lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 00:08 (twenty years ago) link

I don't cry at anything.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 00:10 (twenty years ago) link

I have also not seen any family member this xmas.

I have not spoken to or seen my grandparents since Easter.

I haven't mopped in two weeks.

I'm afraid of what lives at the back of my fridge.

I've never seen Titanic.

Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 00:20 (twenty years ago) link

I've never seen any of the Godfather movies, nor LOTR.

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 00:21 (twenty years ago) link

I not only can't drive, I'm scared of driving, and I'm 32.

I am also scared of balloons (in case they pop, dig?)

I have been known to go more than several days without bathing on the odd occasion.

I have never seen Rocky Horror or the Blues Bros films properly, and I've never seen any of the Aliens trilogy at all.

Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 00:38 (twenty years ago) link

Eating a whole pizza or a whole pan of lasagna is a normal thing for me.

I like Aja (but not in that weird creepy way people imply).

Carey (Carey), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 00:42 (twenty years ago) link

I just found a baby mouse in my kitchen sink.

Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 01:08 (twenty years ago) link

(and if no one else had been in I'd have left it there too)

Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 01:09 (twenty years ago) link

I was wanking before and Andrew WK's "Ready to Die" started playing in my head and I thought "ANDREW WK IS THE ULTIMATE FORM OF MUSIC!"

Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 01:16 (twenty years ago) link

I don't remember if I ever was any good at sex, it's been so long.

Sometimes I realize I've gone 5 or 6 days without washing my hair.

j.lu (j.lu), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 01:41 (twenty years ago) link

I don't know if I'm any good at sex, but I like practicing.

I think I'm a pretty bad boyfriend. I don't know--I'm getting better but it never is quite enough.

mookieproof (mookieproof), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 03:39 (twenty years ago) link

When I was in Italy in 1991 in the middle of a very hot summer I spent a month with only 3 pairs of pants, none of which got cleaned during that time.

Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 11:06 (twenty years ago) link

i confess to thinking Peter Gabriel's 'Big Time' is a stupendously good record

stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 11:10 (twenty years ago) link

i find both Big Time and Sledgehammer painful to listen to

H (Heruy), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 11:15 (twenty years ago) link

i worry too much and cry WAY too much lately.

nathalie (nathalie), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 12:32 (twenty years ago) link

Too many of the above confessions apply to me too for me to be able to copy and post them all again. I am beyond help.

silver girl, Wednesday, 31 December 2003 16:26 (twenty years ago) link

I still listen to the Fixx.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:06 (twenty years ago) link

I don't think I like quitting smoking. Or maybe I do like quitting smoking, and that's why I always start up again, because I like the withdrawal. Am I sick or what?

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:09 (twenty years ago) link

i can't swim.

Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:14 (twenty years ago) link

You're not alone, Eisbar.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:14 (twenty years ago) link

the reason why i can't swim is b/c i almost drowned when i was 9.

Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:15 (twenty years ago) link

Nothing so traumatic for me, thankfully. I just found that floating was beyond me.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:16 (twenty years ago) link

maybe it's all those quarters in yr shorts.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:17 (twenty years ago) link

I had no quarters at the time.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:18 (twenty years ago) link

I'm crap at pool. I hate football, and I cannot figure out how to bet at horse-racing to save my very life.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:20 (twenty years ago) link

I still listen to the Fixx as well as Jamie West-Oram is one of my favourite guitar players. I really like to sing even though I know I'm lousy at it. I don't like hockey as much as a good Canadian boy is supposed to. I hate the feeling of hand lotion on my hands.

Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:22 (twenty years ago) link

i just bought the classix nouveaux best-of cd.

Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:23 (twenty years ago) link

I hate the feeling of hand lotion on my hands.

Oh, speak `dat truth, Brother Bryan!

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:23 (twenty years ago) link

I once ran over someone's cat.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:23 (twenty years ago) link

and i like coldplay :-o

Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:23 (twenty years ago) link

I once kicked my old dog, who is now dead.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:24 (twenty years ago) link

So you kicked him to death, you sicko!

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:26 (twenty years ago) link

I really like Christopher Pike books. When I was 14 I stole Suede lyrics and turned them in at school as poems. I used to be in love with Martin Gore of Depeche Mode. I really like natural disaster movies.

Mandee, Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:26 (twenty years ago) link

I killed all my brother's fish when I was 4 because I took them out and put them in my piggy bank so they could "go on vacation". I was too dumb to get the fish + water = happy fish and fish + no water = dead fish thing.

I put them back and never confessed.

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:28 (twenty years ago) link

there are two Barenaked Ladies songs that i like a lot. "Blame it On Me" and "Lovers in a Dangerous Time"

Chris 'Knuckle Deep' V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:29 (twenty years ago) link

I have a jealous heart.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:30 (twenty years ago) link

For a very brief and dark time in the early 90s, I was a coke addict.

boywasIdumb (luna.c), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:34 (twenty years ago) link

For a very brief and dark time in the early 90s, I was a dimetapp DM addict. Seriously.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:36 (twenty years ago) link

I borrow books from people and read them in the bathtub. I think Scott Peterson is cute.

Arthur (Arthur), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:37 (twenty years ago) link

I am acutely paranoid and terrified of abandonment which causes me to push people away constantly. Also I used to hate eggs but now I do not.

Allyzay, Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:49 (twenty years ago) link

I'm afraid of people who want to be good to me, and usually find a way to make them get pissed off and leave me before giving the relationship a chance to work.

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:51 (twenty years ago) link

i cant whistle :(

phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:53 (twenty years ago) link

I may be allergic to certain antibiotics.

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:55 (twenty years ago) link

i think impure thoughts at all times.

Chris 'Knuckle Deep' V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:56 (twenty years ago) link

I am increasingly impatient of nervous/shy/depressed people.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 17:58 (twenty years ago) link

I'm prone to road rage.

Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:00 (twenty years ago) link

my low self-esteem and complete lack of self-confidance cause me to constantly seek the approval of others. I cannot handle it when people are mad or upset with me, and i don't stop using favor to try to make things better, even if i go over the top.

Kingfishee (Kingfish), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:00 (twenty years ago) link

I likewise cannot whistle.

I also 'throw like a girl', due to being left-handed but learning sporty things as a kid right-handed.

Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:01 (twenty years ago) link

I am often let-down when I see I am not on the 'Laugh out loud' threads even when I thought I'd been dead funny.

Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:02 (twenty years ago) link

When I started playing baseball when I was 5 or 6, my parents bought me a left-handed glove (i.e. it went on my right hand) because they thought that a child so absolutely NOT WITH IT must be a leftie. No suck luck!

Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 18:03 (twenty years ago) link

> I EAT DUST AND I'M ALL RUN DOWN

sounds like Gary Numan, specifically ME from Pleasure Principle (was listening to it this morning as it happens)

koogs, Sunday, 4 March 2007 11:51 (seventeen years ago) link

er, Replicas.

koogs, Sunday, 4 March 2007 11:52 (seventeen years ago) link

no, was right the first time.

i confess - i get gary numan lps mixed up.

koogs, Sunday, 4 March 2007 11:52 (seventeen years ago) link

I drank too much last night and threw up twice today. I still feel sick. And embarrassed that my roommates know.

Maria, Sunday, 4 March 2007 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link

six years pass...

Every few minutes or so when I am internet surfing at work I get this bad, guilty "omg I am internet surfing at work!" feeling even though no one in two years has ever given a fuck if I surf the internet at work. Right now, I am only even in the office because I'm waiting for someone to bring back my car (everyone else is gone early for Labor Day Weekend) and I still get the feeling every few minutes.

#fomo that's the motto (Hurting 2), Friday, 30 August 2013 19:42 (ten years ago) link

five months pass...

Last night I had a rare night out to hang out with some friends in a bar -- it's actually a book club that meets in a bar. My wife and daughter go to sleep early, and although I figured I'd be home by 10pm or so, I decided to stay a little later and have an extra round with a few of the people who stayed. I was a little drunk by the time I walked to the subway. I was also hungry but there was nothing to eat between the bar and the train, and also my phone died on the train, which was my only source of reading material, and it was a long ride home. So I decided to get off the Subway at Broadway-Lafayette, not really remembering what was around there. Well, nothing is around there in terms of purchasing food or reading material late on a Wednesday night, so I just walked for a while, in the freezing cold, until I came to an area with more stuff. I bought a Harpers magazine for the first time in a long time and picked up the Brooklyn Rail. Then I went to one of those shitty Ray's-type pizza places and sat and ate a slice and read, and then went to the nearest subway and made my way home. I got home around 2am, which is pretty late for me these days. It's a very banal story, really, but it felt very strange the way I had the impulse to do this thing and yet the product of my impulse was extremely boring.

two weeks pass...

I've only listened to ≈ 10 jazz albums in my life, and 1 of them is a ~dark jazz~ album.

I moved to a new town/state in June 2013, but I still occasionally check out books and DVDs from my old town's library.

I first read Tolkien at the age of 25.

I didn't really understand how traffic lights worked until about a year ago.

I've never heard an Aerosmith album or an "underrated aerosmith" album in my life.

his eye is on the sbarro (unregistered), Wednesday, 5 March 2014 05:58 (ten years ago) link

I stopped going to synagogue the week after I got my Bar Mitzvah. The rabbi stopped me in the street one day, got out of his car, and threatened to take it back off me! Can you revoke a Bar Mitzvah??

to belatedly answer the original poster's question, no one, including your rabbi, can revoke your bar mitzvah. nor can he award you a bar mitzvah. all he can do is lead the service at which your bar mitzvah is publicly acknowledged, which, technically speaking, is all that happens on that day. so if you've been avoiding him, you can stop.
