Oh you're so cute when you're angry and have your bag gloves on.

HA..I confess I did practially the same thing with my dentist when I was in 3rd grade because I really wanted a retainer.

You know how hard it is to "fake" an oral examination?
Or even an anal examination...

I confess, that I have seen heaven, and the angels glow with neon lights, that the vastness of the universe cannot come close to shared passion. A passion that only increases every day, because something so special has no enemies, no boundaries, no end. Wow, damn, gawd

i confess that i almost did a Rob at the gym last night on the leg press, due to a twangy muscle leftover from running the day before. luckily, i saved my ass.

i further confess that i was concerned when the instructor for the heated yoga class i decided to try said it was intermediate and i was the only one who'd never taken a class.

i confess i was relived when i did just fine. i think abby (my camp mate) prepared me with just two minutes of her boot camp playa yoga. ouch!

i further confess that there was one position where the instructor said we should all expect to fall. when i didn't (cause i do a similar stretch all the time to make boys say 'ow') i felt a little bit gleeful. i confess that this is probably not very nice.

yes. this one actually ended up being not-so-heated, but they noramlly crank the temp up to about 90, i guess. they're still working out some of the details in this place - we were locked out of the heater.

and they didn't ask me for a committment. cause you know i SUCK at those.

i confess that i generally do, too.

but i confess that at the moment, my back is more important than my feelings about it. besides, it keeps me from getting *depressed* rather than just upset about things.

i combat it by beaing snarky.

right on.

I'd rather have you snarky and upset than depressed and immobile...

for sure.

i confess that i've had to train that contempt out of me, and it doesn't always work.

i confess that i can't type today, again, and that it's terribly humiliating.

I confess I'm getting nowhere with the typing today, AGAIN, and I am becoming at the same time increasingly freaked out and depressingly apathetic about this.

I confess I have had a babysitter and no excuse for missing hte last three tai chi classes and still didn't go. I think that stupid 'enlightened skill' comment is intimidating me. I'd rather go and be the official janitor and get free lessons that way, but they aren't going for it.

I really really miss tai chi and know that going will make everything better.

I confess my Snake Creeps Down makes boys say 'ow!'

I confess I still haven't started my period, and this is a source of anxiety for me.

I confess the beau gave me some money for hte first time, and I tried to give it back.

I confess my body hurts all over, and I have a new cold. Blegh.

I confess I'm tired of my quagmire.

i confess that i wish i could hug GS and make her laugh and forget about her quagmire for a minute, but she's so far away.

i confess that i just had a lovely vision of a bunch of us all living close by. i confess that this vision could be a lot of fun.

*calling upstairs* hey GS, come down here a minute... you've gotta see what Lydia's doing to this squirrel!

The Heated Yoga was invented by Bikran who won the yoga olympics.

I confess that I think that "yoga olympics" is an oxymoron.

I further confess that when the local bikram yoga chain first started advertising itself I was so confused by the campaign that I concluded it was yoga to prep yourself for S&M fasion and anal s*x.

I confess that I too would hug the Snorty one if I could... and tell her that it is all going to be okay, and to avoid the thought of a quagmire at all costs!

I also confess that I need to listen to my own advice a little more often..

I confess that I really want to know what Rian's house's nomme du guerre was at Madison Market...

I also confess that I remember having to watch The Return of Martin Guerre for paideia class at college... I further confess that we brought screwdrivers and got drunk during the showing...

Um, she doesn't follow the script exactly and hasn't paid the franchise fee?

BTW the name of the place that had me so confused is "Funky Door Yoga" and I confess it's very cutsey pie. *shudder*

I confess that I loathe gyms
I confess I have only been in them but a few times
I confess I hate excersise for excersises sake and would much rather chase a ball
I confess that, as much as I don't dig it, I still need to occasionally lift at home because otherwise both of my shoulders will fall apart due to nasty injuries obtained via either chasing the ball or chasing a stupor.

i confess that i really like lifting weights. i confess that i like it when everything hurts. i confess that i used to love the feeling when you work so hard you're about to puke by the side of the track. i confess that i am now too lazy to get to this feeling anymore.

i confess that i'm too lazy to go running in the city, and that it was easier when i had mountain trails on hand.

or maybe i'm just getting old.

I confess that my nasty injury to my shoulder just made me more lazy because rather than strengthen the muscle around it I gave up sports that would force me to excercise the muscles.

I confess I blew off physical therapy after my shoulder dislocated three times in a two week period and now I will probably have to have screws inserted into my bones to tighten tendons that have over-stretched due to my negligence. Maybe I should add this to the fuck thread as well because I really do not like doctors and would rather die from something stupid then let some kid, who snorted coke all through college and paid his teachers off, operate on me. I have more of a rant than that but I will save it.

I confess I too love the all over soreness that comes from overdoing it that makes me hobble around like a 90 year old. The kind of gait I only get from playing a 5 on 5 game for 2 and a half hours. I confess that my wife thinks I am a freak for this.

I confess that I almost posted something on the Stupid Work Annoyances thread, but secondguessed myself, because I didn't want to dredge up any ill will from the two poor souls who bared all on it.

I confess that I miss that thread, but I can't bear to bump it, because I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

I further confess that I'm torn about how I feel about feeling this way (?!)... part of me really wants everyone to be happy, but part of me says that I give up my own comfort for the comfort of others all too easily.

I confess that I'm very confused today.

i say bring it up and post post post until that stuff is buried. we all have things we'd like to hide on here. but we can't...

o' course, you could ask if'n they're ok with it.

i am SURE that most of us could find ONE (or even two) nasty work bits and we can cover it in no time.
