secrets are hard
This is me copying cathybites so my lj has more content.
I don't have a lot of secrets, because I mostly tell everyone everything. Some of these will be secrets, and some of them will be trivia, because some of my secrets are about what a horrible person I am and I don't want everyone to know them. (Secret .5, I overuse commas.) (And parentheses.)
1. When I was little, elementary age, my girlfriends and I used to (and we used this terminology and it makes me cringe now) "make love," which generally involved a lot of rubbing and kissing. I've since learned this is pretty normal, but it felt scandalous at the time.
2. I am scared of the dark. A lot scared.
3. I'm a huge nerd, but I have still always felt superior to the people that collect the Star Wars series. Idk way, but I've always felt good about not being that brand of nerd. (Apologies to those of you on my friends list that are, as previously mentioned I'm kind of a jerk.) (Also, let's discuss the number of times I have kicked everyone's ass at LotR Trivial Pursuit.)
4. I once asked God if I was going to get married before my sister. I felt like the answer was yes, but my sister's boyfriend is asking for her hand this weekend, and they're planning a wedding for next summer. So I'm guessing God lied, or I misheard.
5. I was 100% positive that I'd be married and a mother by thirty, and I still wish this were the case. I'm turning thirty next week, and so far I've got three cats.
6. I've only had one or two sex dreams about guys. The overwhelming majority of them are about women. I've been bicurious, but I've never identified as a lesbian, so the dream thing has always intrigued me.
7. I sometimes plan out what I'm going to say during my toast at my sister's wedding and during the eulogy at my father's funeral. I once started crying in bed during my sister's toast.
8. Once, when I was 12 and already awkward, my mother's cousin (a photographer) spent two hours taking pictures of my sister and my little brother. When I asked if she'd take some of me, she took one really quickly while I was talking, and told me later it didn't come out. This did wonders for my self esteem.
9. My mother says I used to practice crying in front of the mirror.
10. One of the booksellers at a different store punched a customer (because said customer was throwing quarters at him) and instead of being horrified, I was actually secretly jealous.
