Confess something that might surprise others or damage your reputation on JUB - 2014

[G-Lexington]

I was exchanging some emails with somebody yesterday, and he mentioned a building in a nearby city. That got me thinking - "hey, that's where Bob used to work."

I hooked up with Bob a few times several years back. It was good, but we sort of had different priorities, so we just sort of stopped communicating. But it had been long enough that the memory was simply becoming fuzzily pleasant. So with that in mind, I did a Google search, and pulled up a picture of Bob with his staff at work.

And the memory ceased being fuzzily pleasant.

It wasn't because of the picture per se. Bob looked fine in it. And it's not like I saw him and thought "oh, he's not as attractive as I remembered" - he looked about the same. But something about seeing his face helped "fill in the fuzzy parts" of the memory. I remember some of the negative things, not just about him but about me - the dumb things I said and did with him. I was kind of reminded why we drifted apart, too.

Part of me is bummed. I enjoyed having Bob as a simple pleasant memory in my head, rather than the complex give-and-take that I guess such things often can be. But I guess it's a good thing, too. It's probably smart to remember that even hookups can have rough spots. And if Bob calls back, or if I get the urge to call him, I can recall what actually happened...and mull that over before making any decisions.

^ Isn't it funny....if enough time passes, we usually allow ourselves to romanticize things/people/situations.

Im trying not to do that.

However, I can think of a few people in which I will never romanticize.

 

[G-Lexington]

I don't think I'd romanticize anything that was truly negative. Speaking overall, the experience was positive. But I'd gotten to the point where I'd forgotten certain weird things he had said and did (and, honestly, a couple I did myself). That may have shifted things slightly towards "no" in the "would I do this again" mindset.

I don't know if it would ruin my reputation, but I am about as unromantic as a they come. I even loathe the idea of nostalgia, because all I remember are the events that ruined any occasion.

I have a memory like a sieve. I only remember the lumps.

And in our family, my one great uncle said 'never cross an (XXXX our family name). It is seven years to forgiveness.

And that is so true.

because I'm all by myself for the next 3 days and my boyfriend isn't around to remind me that we're supposed to be eating healthy... I'm picking up fried chicken on my way home for the first time in like 2 years

just for dinner tonight. back to salads tomorrow.

^ I do drink (see the other thread), but I still haven't gotten around to getting drunk yet. Don't do pot, either, and in Colorado, that's actually more surprising than not drinking.

Had my interview today for the company here in my city...and I got the job <3. They want me to start next week and I'll be meeting them this weekend to discuss pay/salary and some other details. I still have some other opportunities coming up, too, but I'm so so happy x_x. It's made my day.

Thats AMAZING. CONGRATS

Well, I have been tipsy only twice myself, at 26, and only because I was invited to two of my cousins' weddings.

I just extorted my mom. I told her I wasn't coming home for Easter unless she gives me $1000. I'm fed up with my parents' BS and it's the same reason my brother doesn't come home for holidays either.

Now that's a confession! The rest of you take notes.

I'm right-handed but I masturbate and wipe my ass with my left hand.

You left the most intriguing, BS part of your confession in the dark...

I was just at dinner with them and I stormed out in disgust shortly after. My mom's a cunt and my dad's an asshole. What else needs to be said. It's no surprise why they don't get invited anywhere anymore.

 

[belamyi]

My mom's a cunt and my dad's an asshole.

If your dad were a cunt and your mom an asshole, it would be slightly less common and more interesting... I think.

Can you legally disavow them or something? There is always so much silly stuff going on in the law firms, I wonder how come it is not more common, particularly in the USA.

Normally I don't mind my mom but she is unaware that her age has caught up to her and hit her like a ton of bricks. I don't entirely mean physically but mostly mentally. All this denial she has had built up is starting to boil over and she only has herself to blame. That's what she gets for being an enabler and taking the easy way out for so long. You can only deprive yourself so long of joy until you are consumed with sorrow. I know because I went through that with my long-term ex. There is a fine line between selflessness and stupidity and she crossed that line about 6 years ago and only realized it now.

This is why I "love" family dinners.

 

[G-Lexington]

I have a family member I don't like, and I just don't go over to their house anymore. It never occurred to me that I was ignoring a possible money-making opportunity. I never did have much financial sense.
