Let me spew and get the ball rolling
It's only fair that I confess some of my own secrets. I hope others join in and post their
confessions anonymously. I don't want anyone to get into trouble. If anyone's going to get flak, it should be me. Of course.
Confession One:
I once wanted to make an ex-boyfriend jealous (this was in college). He and I lived in the same dorm and ate in the same cafeteria. I knew when he and his friends came in for dinner, so I made my plans accordingly. I asked a guy friend, who was both cute and a good actor (and a good sport) if he'd pretend to be my boyfriend for one night. He was intrigued and flattered. I promised him a bottle of wine and a free dinner as payment, but he swore he'd have done it for free. He and I worked it all out, how he'd gaze into my eyes, how he'd whisper into my ear, how he'd hold my hand, the whole bit.
Well, we pulled it off. I was really nervous, but my fake boyfriend was enjoying himself a lot. My ex and his friends sent us both murderous looks, and eventually, my fake boyfriend got a little freaked. He thought they might want to kick his butt. But nothing so dramatic happened. My ex and his buds just glared at us. There was lots of tension in the room, but that was it. My ploy only kind of worked.
My ex and I did not get back together, despite me fanning the flames of his jealousy.
Everyone thought my fake boyfriend was the real deal. I never confessed the truth until now :).
Confession Two
My second confession is a lot smaller ;). I was in a beauty pageant and had to wear a regulation bathing suit. Sadly, I did not fill out the top the way it was meant to be filled out. My mom and I went shopping, and I ended up with swimsuit padding. The only problem was that if someone poked me in the top it would have left a dent. Even the padding didn't quite do the trick. But at least I had a form of cleavage. Sort of...
I've never confessed that little secret until now.
