It's getting late,what's your biggest secret.

[Swede]

I fell in love with my best friends girl. 15 years later it still hurts.

1. I can not only play Greensleeves

I can sing it in the original voices

[aquaman]

5. I am with that.....

Since the original Greensleeves post tonight I have listened to every version that I own. Shhhh, don't tell anyone.

[Booberdawg]

2. I don't think I have any secrets

At least someone knows every thing about me, although there is no one person who knows "everything" about me.

[Susang]

3. That when I was much younger I wanted to be a nun

I grew out of that by the time I was 14 and became an ardent feminist.

However, I'd still like to save the world. :-)

10. Actually, a lot of nuns

were the first feminists. And with the recent Church scandals I know I kept thinking that if "Sister" had had any inkling what was going on, there would have been a lot of priestly weiners in a wringer. For all the nun jokes (and horror stories) my personal experience having 'em for 12 years (ending in '67) was that, with a few whacko exceptions, they were definitely into the empowerment of women. A lot depended on the order (the Notre Dames showered in slips, I heard) but the ones I knew didn't put up with much shit from men. They ran things, they KNEW how to run things, and they DID run things.

4. Oof! That must have been rough.

It seems to me, though, that most people privatize masturbation. If there is a hell, it will be having to sit in a screening room with one's grandparents and loved ones as they watch every scene, time after time, without popcorn or a beverage.

7. "most people privatize masturbation"

Do you think that is really a "secret" though? Or just private? Actually, I think it's just something taken for granted with most people.

6. Okay, promise not to tell?

There was someone with a telephone number similar to ours who was renting an apartment and, through a typo in the newspaper ad, put OUR number instead. So I get a bahgillion calls and finally found the correct number and call 'em and say, "um, you've got the wrong number in the paper" and they were supremely unconcerned. In fact, downright nasty, and imperious, and rude, and told me bluntly to just give the correct number and what is my problem, like it was MY JOB to take their calls. No apologies. Nuthin'. And they didn't even bother to CORRECT it for like a week. So, I suffered through it, until they finally put the right number in the paper.

So last Christmas, I get a call, AGAIN for these people,only this time it's from some country club that had obviously just dialed the wrong number. They're calling to confirm a reservation for New Year's Eve for 14 people. And I say, "Oh, we've changed our mind, please cancel that."

It was so mean. It was so "not me." It was so much fun.

8. You bastard

[Swede]

9. I mean you magnificent bastard

[eileen from OH]

11. I think you mean

Magnificent Bitch. (Which I'm thinking of putting on business cards.)

eileen from OH

[HEyHEY]

12. Don't really have any

That I haven't already shared here

[eileen from OH]

13. You aren't the Squirrel Lover, are you?

cuz that's just SICK.

eileen from OH

[HEyHEY]

16. ahhhhhH!!!!

WHO TOLD YOU?!

[Booberdawg]

14. Actually I do remember a youthful indescretion now

Was me and 4 other evil girlfriends that hung out together all the time. One of my girlfriends was a nurse and was dating a law school grad. She was a bit, well, superficial. Anywho, he dumped her; don't know the details but she was livid. One night we swung by his apartment, all 5 of us, and 4 of us got out of the car and let the air out of all four of his tires, jumped back in the car and took off. Actually we did this two weeks in a row.

Wasn't that a SHITTY thing to do?? LOL! She probably deserved to get dumped!

[eileen from OH]

17. Yeah, shitty. .. but I heard the greatest revenge

story... yes, even better than air-out-of-tires. They opened Oreos and stuck 'em on the car. That creamy center dries like Bondo and when removed will take paint off. Now, I NEVER did this, would NEVER dream of doing this, etc., etc., but ain't Revenge By Oreo a neat concept? I mean, for someone like Bill O'Reilly or somebody? (Hmm, wonder what he drives?)

eileen from OH

[Booberdawg]

19. Yeah that's pretty bad!

I don't think, even in my youth, and in my SERIOUS drinking days, I would have done something to cause serious damage to someone's property. I don't think my girlfriends would have either. I mean - we weren't THAT evil!!

[Swede]

15. Lame,your bunch of girly men

splll your guts

[Swede]

18. When Shelley walks in the room,my heart skips a beat

Why lord do you do this to me?

[Swede]

20. Come on guys

Who do ya love.

[Dogmudgeon]

21. There was also a Shelly in my life

And her name was also Shelly.

But when Laura came along, I had to switch from tranquilizers to antidepressants.
