You are the only one who needs to know.

You asked for it and here it is: the secrets meme, back by popular demand. Share a secret, any kind of secret, whether it be silly or serious. Do it anonymously or not. IP logging is turned off and the only rule is that comments that explicitly name eljay members* are verboten.

Secrets are made to be found out with time.

I'm really starting to hate FTOTZ

I'm secretly a nice person, but if you tell anyone, I'll brutally murder you! (Except for I won't, because I'm secretly a nice person. Still, keep it under your hat!)

I'm supposed to be on my way to the bank now. Shh, don't tell.

Dude. Not only do I feel the same way, but I will say it out loud.

I downloaded a song by Jack Wagner this morning.

Since this is for secrets and all, am I allowed to ask why? I'm just curious because I've seen this come up a lot lately.

Seriously, the fact that I am perpectually single makes me miserable on a daily basis. I feel like I'm under a cloud. I know it's making it even more difficult for me to meet a man, but gussying up and going to bars and trying to look cute is not working at all. I already do about a trillion activities swarming with straight men, and yet noooooobody is interested. I feel like a troll. Or invisible. I am stuck. I haven't had sex in eight months and I feel like I never will again.

I don't really have an answer (and I don't want to derail RG's post) -- it's just an overall feeling. If you've heard this from someone else, I'm sure I'd agree with some of their reasons.

I'm scare myself by thinking there are monsters and ghost so often that I belive I am crazy.

I wish I could wear sleeveless shirts. But I don't want to tan dammit!

I am a bad LJ friend. I scroll by many entries. I once didn't realize that someone was pregnant for two months after she announced it.

It makes me very, very angry that my trust was violated by a person who apparently holds "internet" friendship up as different from "real life" friendship. I'm not any less "real" simply because I will never meet some people on my friends list.

I like to fashion hats out of tinfoil and wear them while prancing around merrily and singing the entire songbook from "The Sound of Music".

I'll combo derail/tell my own secret, since I'm not the one who originally posted this comment: lately, it seems like a huge percentage of the posts on OTZ fall into one of two camps: a transparently desperate attempt to be seen as witty and pop-culture-savvy that really just makes me think "jesus, you are WAY too invested in what a bunch of relative strangers think of you"; or regulars being mind-numbingly catty bitches to anyone who doesn't fall into their own particular clique. I've made some solid friends from FT and OTZ, and I'm not saying all we should ever post about is purely celebrity gossip and no commentary or personal shit, but if I read one more Brokeback-icized interview or pearl-clutching response informing someone in the Dating thread that they're 1. a huge prude, or 2. a huge slut, I'm going to scream.

I spoke to a man named Mr. Hyunh today and when I hung up the phone, I started crying because it reminded me of the Christmas episode of Hey Arnold with Mr. Hyunh's daughter and it's terribly sad, and I had to blame it on allergies when questioned.

Someone owes me $50, but I'm so completely shocked by the situation that led to this debt that I'm willing to give a waiver. I will accept sweeties (candy), however.

Um, excuse me? There's no such thing as a clique* on the internet.

And um, it's just the internet anyway, so I'd like to think that anything we say or do shouldn't be taken seriously at all, so whatever.

That being said, don't say anything about us or we'll pepper our thousands of posts with taunts that are just subtle enough that if we get called on it, we can claim that we're just having fun.

*And can I just say that I'd like a moratorium on using words like "clique" and "junior high" to describe us? Um, because if someone's making squicky sex posts or making endless boring posts about their nephew, we reserve the right to drive them out, because our squicky sex posts and nephew pictures posts are so much more interesting.

Oh, wait. I get it...

Not for nothing, and I know this is a secret post and that people can post what they want, but it doesn't seem fair to me to have this conversation in Salome's journal.

I'm really hating that facial hair on women runs in my family. Go ahead and laugh -- I am.

[(Anonymous)]

I like you. I worry that you don't like me.

[(Anonymous)]

As one anonymous person to another... wuh? How is it that two anonymous people are having a conversation when no-one knows who anyone is?!

I know someone who has a giant secret. Everyone -- and I mean everyone -- has figured it out by now. No one cares. I wish she would just admit it so we could all move on.
