I used to order CD's from columbia house and bmg using vacant addresses and fake names so I wouldn't have to pay.

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:51 GMT

when i was driving around a few days ago i was backing up and barely hit this van. i got out and looked at the damage. no body damage just some scratches. so i left without telling anyone

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:49 GMT

ok confession....
i used a marker to draw onto my chinese teacher's when she walks by my desk...but she nv knew...

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:48 GMT

I stole a book from WH Smiths. I could easily afford it but there was no-one watching and they'd just bagged some 14 year-old moron for trying to leave the store with CD's with tags attached (beep!-beep!-beep!) and I figured there was no way they were looking at a 35 year-old guy in a business suit...

when i was in 7th grade this girl died in a car accident and my friend and i would go to the room where everyone wrote poems to the girl just to get out of class

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:44 GMT

I've been with my girlfriend for nearly 3 years, I love her and want to marry her but I've got this strange compulsion to have sex with an older woman before the end of the year. Just once.

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:42 GMT

i have a strange obsession with eds mom

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:41 GMT

i?m not as happy as my friend think i am. and i really miss to have someone to hold hands with.

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:39 GMT

i have to confess so much i dunno where to begin.

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:38 GMT

i can only talk to people when i'm drunk. i can't remember the last time i went to sleep sober.

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:37 GMT

I was pregnant and miscarried without telling my boyfriend...

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:35 GMT

i harbor feelings of discontent towards people that don't know what a confession is.

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:34 GMT

I was tutoring some 8th graders and one of them kept challenging me. Somehow I just blurted out, "Don't fuck with me." I still can't believe I said that. I didn't apologize, either. Actually, he's been behaving a lot better since then, but I still feel guilty about it.

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:34 GMT

I once hacked into a churches website and slaped "|-|@X0RED" in bold across the front...

...along with a dirty photo of the priest.

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:33 GMT

I brought home my boyfriend for the holidays. My parents hated him. Actually told me NEVER to see him again. He's black.

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:32 GMT

I'm a teacher. Once, a student left her wallet on the floor in my room. I opened it and found $80, which I took. She came back later that day and asked if I had seen the wallet. I handed it to her, and said that another student found it on the floor. She saw that her money was gone, and started to cry.

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:31 GMT

I can't believe i finally did it. I finally had sex with a girl that I have always thought was the most beautiful girl on earth. The only problem is that i promised myself that i would hold myself pure until I married. I really don't know how it all happened either. We were so crazy about each other for that one week. I guess usually people would call it a "one night stand" or something. But it wasn't just one of those. It was my first time. I found myself wondering if she was being for real or if she wasn't. I kept on being so self concious i really - I dunno. I can't describe it, I still have so many feelings for her, and i can't do anything about it because she lives so far away. I miss her so much I can hardly keep these tears back. Now i know what it is like to be attached forever. I still want to be pure for my one-day wife, but now there is always going to be that "one time" that I'm going to have to tell her about when we talk about getting married. Just like I am writing now. I hope she understands.

when i was young my grandfather had this little mexican dog named Buddy. He loved the dog so much and he had him for over fifteen years. I used to hate the dog and i would beat him constantly just because he was annoying me. Sometimes I would put liqour in his doggy bowl. Then one day I was practicing shooting my dads rifle and buddy was outside. I used him for target practice and I did pretty good because i killed the little shit deader than a doornail. I never told my grandpa and he took a long time to get over it. He was such a fucking pussy.

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:28 GMT

I am in love with a guy from my Earth and Space Sciences class. I'm too shy to talk to him and will never get past staring at him wistfully from a few seats away.
I've become extremely insecure since my last boyfriend dumped me and I'm afraid I will never have a boyfriend again.

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:26 GMT

I consistently pretend I don?t know what going to happen when my ex calls and asks me to hang out. I also pretend he doesn?t have a boyfriend.

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:25 GMT

When someone pisses me off, I become obsessed and consumed by my hatred for them. It is really crippling. I will spend hours at work just looking them up on the internet trying to find as much information on them as possible, and I won't get anything else done all day. What I do with all this information I acquire? Nothing. Just sit around and hate them even more, wishing zits and scars on them. I know that I am only wasting my own time and that this person doesn't care enough about me to hate me back, but I can't stop stalking her. I can barely even remember why I hate her so much to begin with.

When I was 15 and living at a boarding school, there was a huge spider in my bathroom. I was afraid to shower and go to class so I stayed in my room all day. Eventually I had to pee but was still scared of the spider, so I pissed inside an empty apple juice container and quickly poured it down the sink. My roommate later figured out what I did and laughed.

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:22 GMT

I fancy my dead friends sister.

Tue, 08 Feb 2005 20:13:21 GMT

i have stolen from my friends lots of times, usually to pay for drugs
