(That's a lie)
nice try. Why not ask 'what is your secret identity?', or 'what is your superpower?' Now, back to fighting crime...
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
Tim...that was cute :).
My secret? Twice a week, every week, and always after a night heavy clubbing.
Washing my hair, I mean.
I had a one-minute crush on Andrew the first time I met him. Then I got hipped to the jive that he had a girlfriend. Crush over. Still love those wicked sideburns though.
I sun bathe nude..........and don't burn.
i feel extremely, utterly lonely at times
I rarely enjoy parties unless I'm drinking, and it's hardly worth the escalating hangovers. I'm also terrified of death.
i eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with toasted blueberry eggo waffles instead of bread.
I had a one-minute crush on Kris V. the first time I met him. It's all about the Gapers’ Block men, eh?
...so maybe it was more like a FIVE-minute crush, O.K.?!
I hate my job and will be quitting soon to join the ranks of the voluntarily unemployed! (Just don't tell my boss.)
i'm an open book.
a book full of secrets.
I had a one-minute crush on Alex the first time I met her. Then I found out she had a husband...and I remembered I had a long-time girlfriend. :)
I would tell my secret, but then I'd have to kill the internet.
Some are secrets, some are just fun facts about me that I wouldn't normally just come out and blather about.
I'm a terrible liar. So bad I don't bother lying anymore.
I believe a lot of wives tales and suspicions.
I can't be trusted with any sort of secrets or gossip OR cash.
I am gullible as fuck.
I played Barbies until I was 14.
I obsess over my e-mails.
I obsess over Gapers Block.
I am a music mix slut.
My outlook on life can be summed up in two very impressionable and conflicting institutions: Catholic school and Punk Rock.
I am a writer and never aspire to write the great American novel.
My dad thought I'd write for Rolling Stone one day. Sorry, dad.
I won't buy anything purple.
I've never had a Krispie Creame donut.
I had my first McGriddle last week. They're not that good.
I hate random facts about anonymous people.
I wanted to legally change my name to Becky when I was little based on a Kenny Rogers song.
My first celebrity crush was William Katt from the Greatest American Hero (he's so ugly!).
I have colored my hair every color but green.
I like Barry Manilow... wait, that's not a secret.. how about, I have ugly feet? Because I do. Size 9 wide. U-G-L-Y.
I never get a hangover. I have an iron constitution, and a sterling character. If you yourself get hungover, you should think about that.
Paprika.
I moisturize and stay out of direct sun.
I'm strong enough for a man, but made for a woman.
I have no secrets. I'm pretty sure I've confessed every damn thing I've ever done, and in most cases, delivered said revelations loudly, drunkenly, and in the company of at least 20 people.
My real name is Sue.
I moisturize thrice a day.
bargain shopping.
Smoke and mirrors™.
I gunge myself. I try various gunges - ketchup, mustard, flour paste, mayonaise, chocolate pudding, salad dressing - and non-food - paint and mud, but always preferred pies.
My fetish is not only sensual, but visual - I am aroused at seeing myself pied which is kind of hard with a faceful of pie.
I don't feel humiliated or dominated when pied, just sexy. I also enjoy things like the pictures above when a really hot girl is decked with multiple pies giving total coverage. I also like the way the pie sticks to a girls long hair.
I do this to my girlfriend at least once a week and she loves it.
After throwing about 10-12 pies at my girlfriend, I take 10 gallons of chocolate and then vanilla pudding and pour it over her head. (I go to Sam's Club and get the Bakers and Chef's Brand 5 lb bulk cans). Sometimes I finish her off with a 5 lb can of Busch's Baked Beans as well.
I'm always a little depressed.
You're soaking in it!
Yes, I typically have full body coverage
I have plague. Or leprosy. Wait, no, plague, definitely plague. That's the one where you sneeze a lot in the spring, yeah? Eyes all red and itchy and such? Cursed plague.
I'm a "vegetarian" who sometimes eats meat--always in private with a great deal of guilt.
I lick myself after I pee on trees.
I hunt moose, with handguns, at close range.
While drinking mass quantities of alcohol.
I make up highly offensive lyrics to showtunes and sing them loudly while alone in my apartment. I'm pretty sure my neighbor hears me, but I don't care.
I watch America's Next Top Model. (shhh)
I never told my family that I took my second trip to Ireland a few years ago. It would take a whole lotta backstory to explain why that's such a bad thing, but trust me, it is.
I have no self-confidence in my work.
People tell me Im the shit. Whereas I just think im shit.
I once jerked off a horse on a dare.
I was once jerked off by a human. I came but it wasn't very satisfying - he couldn't get the rhythm right and kept looking over at his friends like he needed their approval or something.
I kissed that guy.
no homo
I sometimes read my ex-gf's email. still have her password to her email account.
hell, it creeps ME out that I do this.
I was a woman until 1996.
Beneath this mild-mannered credit manager persona I am, in reality, Superman.
I get free cable! (through no deliberate act, other than happening to plug the TV into the coax jack on the wall) Been this way for over half a decade!
I met my boyfriend on Make Out Club.
I'm Steven's neighbor.....he has a terrible voice.
Only my hairstylist knows for sure.
Isn't this thread suppose to be on Craigslist's RnR page?
That's my secret: Craigslist Junkie
Is that a forum on craig's list chicago? Do you have a link?
-fellow CL junkie
I occasionally read "Casual Encounters" to see all the penises.
But I'm never all that impressed. More likely, a little freaked out.
i ate all of your girl scout cookies...
i especially enjoyed the carmel delights
Sexaholic. J/K. Still a virgin....
