Tell us something embarrassing about yourself

[Missy Vixen]

C'mon now. There's a monster thread in GD right now about a certain high-profile prosecutor that likes to play the accordion. Some people think that this is embarrassing.

What's your deep, dark secret? Remember, this is anonymous, so nobody will know. You can tell us! What's something you do that other people would think was weird?

I have two things:
1. I read the National Enquirer. Yes, it's true.
2. I cry at the end of "A Charlie Brown Christmas". Every year. :cry:

[southlandshari]

1. Sigh.

For you and only you, Julie.
































I don't really like Moon Pies very much.

[Missy Vixen]

12. It's okay, sweetie

:hug: :pals:

We can find something else to eat, like -- well, do they have the infamous "Uncle Seth's Pink Cookies" in the South? They're shortbread cookies with pink cream cheese icing. They're only like 1,000 calories apiece.

I LOVE them. I'll bet you would, too.

:loveya:

[southlandshari]

16. ROFL!

I was thinking more of :popcorn: !

:P



:hug: Miss you, darlin'!

[Missy Vixen]

21. I miss you, too.

:popcorn: :hug:

:p

I have nobody to talk to about my massive crush on Patrick Fitzgerald, for instance. DH thinks it's the funniest thing he's heard this year, and teases me incessantly: "He's not going to tell you anything."

Oh! oh! OHHHHHHHH! I can get DH back for mocking me about my poor aching heart. Do you KNOW how many times he's watched "The Last Starfighter"? :rofl:

Julie

[Punkingal]

37. You can talk to me about your crush....

That thread about him last weekend was the most fun I have had on DU in a long time!!!!

[Missy Vixen]

41. Punkingal, isn't he dreamy?

:loveya: The Prosecutie!

I had to steal Beausoir's description of him: Adorkable.

:loveya:

Julie

[Punkingal]

42. Yes, he is....

as I said, I haven't had so much fun on DU in a long time. And it is just driving our DU men nuts!!!:evilgrin:

[purr]

55. You can talk to me about it too!

Hes sexy!

2. I talk to myself.

I think I'm a very interesting conversationalist. :silly:

[Frozen Hamster]

35. Me too

Only I think I'm so boring I can put myself to sleep.

[LeftyMom]

3. Vampire movies turn me on.

:blush:

[khashka]

32. You and me should get together

and have a video marathon!

Khash.

[AlienGirl]

4. I love to sing, but I can't sing

I sing while driving. I sing in the shower. I sing when I'm cooking or doing dishes. I sing loudly, and badly...

Tucker

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. I also like to talk to myself........

BUT in my case, there are others around listening to me, responding to me.........

FIRST time I've ever told anyone this....... :blush: :crazy:

[TheProphetess]

6. I can become addicted to reality TV quite easily

Especially the train wrecks, like Breaking Bonaduce. I've seen every season of MTV's The Real World.
Yikes!! :hide:

[LaraMN]

7. OK.

Things I CURRENTLY do?

hmm.

1. Apply make-up BEFORE I go running. In the dark.

2. Kick and swear at inanimate objects- the basement door stubbed my toe, today. It won't make that mistake twice!

[swag]

8. I've got a hole in my butt.

[yurbud]

15. you mean an extra one?

[swag]

17. You mean you too?

[Az]

9. I really need some Pocky right now

Anyone here got some on them? Hurting here. Really need a fix.... huh? Anyone?

[TimeChaser]

14. I have a box full of Pocky in my closet

Sadly, no green tea Pocky ;_;

[UncleSepp]

10. I have a three foot tall nude self portrait in my entry way

There is no other place to put it.

[AlienGirl]

11. Too bad you didn't get that other painting

from ebay...

Tucker

[UncleSepp]

18. Oh, I would have just been beside myself!

:evilgrin:

[AlienGirl]

20. Bwaha!

:rofl:

[AlienGirl]

13. I have a tasteless sense of humor...

I like to poke fun at friends, like meeting my buddy ExChickenFarmer at the airport with a rubber chicken, or daring people to sing tasteless things at karaoke.

Tucker

[Starbucks Anarchist]

19. I exist.

[AngryAmish]

23. I have a near encyclopedic knowledge of professional wrestling

I'm 37, have an advanced degree and read most every important Russian novel.

Yet I know who the manager of the Road Warriors was.

[DanCa]

30. Quick test - what where the ages that the von erich brotherss past away.

Just asking . I love eighties wrestling can't watch it now.

[Rocinante]

24. I get all teary eyed

at the end of the movies "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" and "The Quiet Man". That's pretty weird I guess.

Oh yeah...the first time I saw "Sixteen Candles" I lost it a little bit at the end. That really is weird.

[enigmatic]

25. I don't know if it's embarrassing

But I'm kinda obsessed about vintage shortwave radios and police scanners; I have a collection of both.

And although I look like a guy that you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley, I like going to RV shows.

In other words, I'm a freak:)

[AlienGirl]

28. Cool, how vintage?

A friend of mine has an old radio and some other stuff.

Tucker

[enigmatic]

29. Runs the gamut

I've got a Zeinth Transoceanic SW Radio that's my baby, but I mostly collect tabletop/portable SW radios from the 50's/60's. I want to get some more old tube radios to add to my collection...

[DanCa]

26. The episode where fonzie eats ravolio alone on christmass makes me cry.

I also watch desperate house wives.

[hickman1937]

27. I sing, sometimes out loud, to the music in the grocery store.

And bite me all you guys that give me weird looks.

[BlueIris]

31. I have the DORKIEST laugh imaginable. And a blunt, witless non-wit.

I tell people they need to be wittier, and I can do it sometimes (when I'm not trying) but--mostly, I'm a witless thug. It's embarrassing. Really embarrassing.

[Shell Beau]

39. Don't worry, sometimes I snort when I laugh!!

:blush:

[khashka]

33. Embarrass myself in public? OK.

1. I am so freaking sentimental that almost anything makes me cry - even some commercials.

2. I have been known to clip my toenials by biting them.


Khash.

[nashbridges]

34. I like "Titanic"

the ship, the movie, and all of its historical records. My wife knew this when we met, but she really didn't have any idea of how deep the obsession went.

I was obsessed with it long before Jim Cameron put it all to film, and I've dragged my significant other around the country collecting artifacts. And since I'm an engineer, the things that people sell thinking "it's not worth anything" I buy at ridiculous prices, which pisses my wife off, understandably.

That's all you get for this thread. I've got more, but they aren't approved for family columns.

[MrScorpio]

36. I enjoy eating peanut butter and jelly without bread

Two spoons, no waiting

[Allenberg]

38. I wasn't a Democrat until June this year.

I was a Libertarian from 99-Jun 05, and voted Harry Browne in 2000. :(

[Missy Vixen]

40. Okay, I know that there are more embarrassed Lounge denizens out here...

Let's hear it!

Julie

[Chan790]

43. Things I am irrationally scared of that are embarrassing:

Frogs
Gnat swarms
Dogs...I once ran in terror from a beagle named "Muffin-pie" that I outweigh by a 15-1 margin.
Finger-prick lanclets
Door-to-door solicitors
SCAdians and Ren Faire people

Vampire movies, bloody movies and graphic medical dramas cause me to pass out cold, people like to show me gnarly wounds to watch me swoon and I have to be sedated to have blood taken.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

44. Most of the time I don't know where I am

or how to get home.

Okay, you think I'm nuts. But I don't drive and I read a lot in the car. I have the direction ability of a potato.

[Chan790]

48. Me too!!

I know my way around DC, Philly and Hartford because I have been at several times in my life a bike courier but once I get outside of the urban area, and I mean like 2 blocks outside of the downtown area, I'm lost.

What's worse are when I'm giving directions and I realize halfway through that the ways I know to get places don't actually work in a car...like driving across Bushnell Park in Hartford, the Mall in DC or down the Georgetown stairs.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

49. But you know what is funny?

I love to mess around on Google Earth and look at stuff, follow rivers to the ocean, find tourist places, etc. I once spent two hours looking for the Great Wall of China.

[omshanti]

45. I think Terrell Owens has a nice butt

(I didn't know if I could say 'ass' and not get censored)

How embarassing is that?
:blush:

(edited for misuse of apostrophe)

[Mutley]

46. I read romance novels.

:blush:

And I'm terrified of spiders, and not just big hairy ones that look like they could eat you for dinner, but even little tiny ones that don't bite.

[Guy Fawkes]

47. I've played Violin for 9 years...

but all this time, I've really wanted to learn Saxophone.

[mwooldri]

50. Voicing approval for George Bush over Al Gore in 2000.

Yes, I'm embarrassed to admit it. My colleague at work told me that all he was itching to do was to start a war and that he was a warmonger. She was right.

My alibi was that I wasn't that politically motivated in 2000, I had just come to the US in 1999, so I was getting to learn about things and the way they work over here. Unfortunately I have learned about them during the most corrupt government that I have ever lived under. Margaret Thatcher is positively liberal compared to Bush Jr, even this bluest of blue Conservatives has criticized Tony Blair for taking the UK to war in Iraq over flawed evidence.

I may not agree with her politics but I do agree with Thatcher's ethics: "I was a scientist before I was a politician. And as a scientist I know you need facts, evidence and proof - and then you check, recheck and check again." Something this nasty administration has never appeared to have done.

51. On a lighter note here's another embarrassing moment of mine...

... and it happened when I was drunk in the Student Union. I was completely blitzed, and I turned around to my friends and said something like "Let's find a woman and get up her, like that one", and pointed to my friend's girlfriend. I didn't realize that these two people had been going out for some time. I think I was led away rather quickly somewhere else for another drink.

[geniph]

52. I'm probably going to get slaughtered in my election today

Believe me, that's plenty embarrassing.

[edbermac]

53. I was once in a Turkish prison...

:blush:

[datasuspect]

54. i am a patrilineal descendent of vlad tepes

or "vlad the impaler"
