Background: I work in a hospital.

I confess -- out of all the examination forms that go in and out of this department, when I see one that says Ultrasound Scrotum, it makes me crack up and giggle. :)

I confess I think Ultrasound Scrotum is a fine playa name.

Or with a slight twist, a good name for a band or camp ...

Scrotum Ultrasonicum

Then there's Scrotusaurus Rex, Scrotius Maximus, Attack of the killer Scrotums, and, of course, a masculine hygene product no burner would want to be without .... (drumroll) .... ScrotaFresh! .... (rimshot)

I confess that i am about to go to some sort of holiday function that I have absolutely no desire to go to, with someone that I have no desire to see right now.

I confess that I don't know why I agreed to it, in the first place.

I further confess that the whole idea makes me really tired, and kind of grumpy.

I confess that I feel like a big stick in the mud.

I confess I have been in the same boat before, GE, and it makes me feel the same way. Hey, they are having Porneokie on New Years Eve at the Odeon, lets ditch our other plans and check it out :) *sigh* would be fun.

I confess to feeling alot of mixed feelings into this...

I would like to meet someone who can share in my emotions and grow together...

My confessions arent much, but i have alot of feelings that i cant express into words

I confess that I am surrounded by people but a certain part of me feels lonely as hell. (no, not a PHYSICAL part, get outta there!)

Just get your ass there and all of the loneliness will be gone.

I confess that my world has become focused on one point alone, and that this is the biggest thing that has ever happened to me.

I confess that there are other places that I would rather be on New Years.

I confess that there is someone that really needs me especially on New Years, and that I will be there for them.

I confess that cold sober is not the most fun New Years I can picture.

I confess I don't know which weighs heavier on my soul- the reason for the need of another or the lack of an enjoyable escape when I desperately need it.

I confess that my balls itch, but if I go down that path- I'll probably be late to bed again.

I confess I have a hard time remaining serious.

I confess that even though I had no presents to open and I'm alone in the house, I was up at 5 am to turn on the tree lights.

I confess that while I'm looking forward to going to the folks' house to open gifts with the rest of the family, the thought of it makes me tired as hell because my nieces and nephews are largely ignorant twits. Sad too because my folks are frail and elderly and there aren't going to be all that many more holidays with them.

I confess I am going to be obssesive-compulsive about getting the house as clean as possible before the New Year.

I confess being housebound is making me more self-centered than ever, exactly the opposite of how I feel after all the cancer seriousness, but somehow the urge to live life to the fullest is being overcome by the inertia of recovering in my cozy home/nest/hidey-hole.

I confess that I am relieved that this day is finally here.

AntiM, I hope you have a Merry Christmas and I hope that the twits untwit at least for a few minutes and surprise you with a burst of intelligence!

I confess -- I have this strange uncontrollable desire to dress up like a Christmas Elf today.

I confess -- My horoscope today is strangely very Burning Man. 8)

Scorpio Daily Horoscope by Astrology.com
You've been especially frugal for a while now, especially when it comes to your own needs.
It's now officially time for you to stop that. Celebrate the day by being totally hedonistic. You've certainly earned that right.

I confess -- I'm going to follow this advice today. :P

I confess, that i try not to live my life by horoscopes...they sometimes seem a bit vague to be taken seriously...they often do seem insightful. I however being a Gemini, only seem to connect with other Gemini's. Maybe its just me, or sometimes i wonder if we were supposed to be like that.
I must also confess, that its cold outside, when you breathe through your nose, and your nostril hairs start sticking together. Todays temp @ SB Airport... 9....yep, just 9, that is farenheit too. Just had to add that in there.

I confess that, having met said twits, I find that highly unlikely.

I also (genuinely) confess that, much as I try, I find it difficult not to look down at people who take astrology even slightly seriously (sorry).

I confess that I've come to the confession thread about 4 times today, but that what i want to confess is entirely too big right now to think about confessing...

I confess that I'll just keep it to myself for a bit longer..

I confess I found my family less twittish than usual, even though they're breeding.

I confess I found my #3 niece's new boyfriend hot and had evil "if I were 20 years younger " thoughts.

I confess I neglected to call RG and peaches, I've already lost their address, and their gifts are still sitting in my parlor.

I confess I have a parlor.

I confess I grew madly fond of moet & chandon during my stay at the ex's stinking rich family's house, where his mother kept cases in the basement and had daily four o'clock champagne, where she never let the flute empty completely before offering more, therefore one never knew exactly how many glasses one had consumed.....very civil and oh how I loved it.

She just rolled over in her grave......that would be "wine cellar" not "basement." Ahem.

I confess curiosity over GE's vague and hinting confession. What a tease.....
