Hmmm, I was reminiscing about the Grand Hotel over at the Bar. Then I remembered something that I did. I kind of feel bad about it. I confess that while on vacation at the Grand Hotel in Mackinac Island, Michigan, in October 2000, I stole a coffee cup and matching saucer from there as a souvenir. It has the Michigan flower inside the green and white fine china cup, the rim trimmed in gold. I know it's not nice to steal. I know stealing is wrong. I was caught up in the moment of being there, loving the man I was there with, having the most romantic weekend of my entire life...

I confess I haven't been around much lately.

This absence has extended to pretty much all of my BRC-related online venues; I confess I just don't have the mental energy for it right now, somehow.

I confess I don't know how long it's likely to continue.

Dear Donita,

As I know this is not the Absolution from Crimes thread,
I will start with a confession.

I have cheated on billings to my client, usually
by one hour of labor each two weeks.
Rationalize over being pissed about how much laundry
I have to do when Getting home each day.
Freaking mud!

Anyways, back to Donita & the pilfered coffee cup:
My ex-wife is simply the most innocent person I know on the
planet, yet is adamant that it is not only alright to take anything from the hotel with its' name on it, but that that is their wish, the very reason they
print it on the ashtay/towel, etc.

I also confess:

Odd, seldom used words
which I've thought about/used
at some point in the day OFTEN
appear by someone else;
later that day written on ePlaya !

I confess I love serendipity.

I also confess I just found out my old friend smiley actually registered as 'want2bfree1' back in January. Peekaboo, I see you!

I confess:

I have been observing eplaya since january until a great Ms. Detective Gigs discovered that I've been playing "hide and go seek".

{a disembodied voice floats from a super hiding place} I confess that sending me emails in which you called me gigs, wrote the word 'nekkid' and e-mimed winking was a dead giveaway, goofus.

Yeah, right. Pour a few into you, and you'll take pity on them and throw a little bit of cinnamon schnapps their way.

You know, you can read all the ones you actually want to, then hit "mark all posts read."

i confess i am envious of you fuckers going to burningman

Post by joel the ornery » Thu Jul 14, 2005 5:39 am

i confess

as i drove into work i wished i was on the playa working for dpw, seeing the playa with less than 50 people within 10 miles of your location... wherever you were

i wished i was going to see a few sunrises over mountains instead of a patchwork quilt of corn and soybeans with a hothouse mist for the first few hours after dawn

i wished to experience a fucking duststorm... maybe a couple of duststorms

i confess i am envious of all you fuckers going to burning man.

i confess, i'll get over it around 6 September 2005.

until then, i confess, you'll probably have to suffer through my surlyness.

As Clinton would say, "Ah feel yor pain".

I confess, I am giddy, too giddy, at nearing 4000 posts. I know, what a stupid thing to obsess about. Yes.

4000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

When there is a blackout, people often think about the poor souls stuck in elevators. I confess that I think of the poor souls with half a haircut.

I confess:
That I have spent almost no time on eplaya this year as a result of school and am a bit pissy about it.
That I'm curious to see if my husband and my changing our relationship status to "open" will change our BRC experience.
That even tho it shouldn't matter, I'm really excited to go to BRC 30 lbs lighter tham I've ever been on the playa.
That I will probably be here a bunch in the next couple weeks...

I confess that I am guilty of the following:
Drinking and Smoking.
Constant Horny Status.
Disliking surroundings, but not changing them because I "need" them (or think I need them).

I confess that I don't like cross-posters, and have no qualms about getting surly at them.

I confess that sometimes I regret what I write on ePlaya, but not today.

I confess that I'm procrastinating practicing my script by being here.

I confess that I was getting all ready to jump up and down on said crossposter's head, then I thought about something Nipples told me.

Honey, you actually knew the man personally. I'm jealous, and yet... Obviously the hurt isn't over for you, and might never be 'over'. We'll discuss over some drinks and non-tobacco products when we hit the playa.

Cross Poster? What the hell? I'm, apparently, not hip to this lingo.

Nipples? A friend?

A cross poster is someone who posts the same message in different threads and forums. Very bad etiquette, and annoying to the people who regularly read the eplaya.

Nipples was a veteran 7 time burner who passed away on the ninth of July.

This one's for Nipples. Let's never forget the ones we lost!

kay...so...I work in a liquor store and, y'see, we don't have enough, like, room to keep ALL of our products in the cooler...and, *sigh*.

I confess that, tonight, when a guy asked why we didn't have a particularly obscure italian white in the cooler I replied:

"Because you touch yourself at night."

Oh, and I confess that my ex wants to ask me for a ride down and I really, really, really don't want to sit in a car with her for 17 hours before and after the man.

Thank god my car is full.
