I violated a few cannons. I was young. Any hole looked good.
CONFESSIONAL thread (ANONYMOUS so tell us the juicy stuff!)
- Thread starter Holdfast

Are you senile or just stalling for time?
But you never violated my canon!I am responsible for countless "canon violations".
Dear Anonymous:
Trust me--we all feel like fakes.
Most university professors suffer from this type of insecurity--it's called 'impostor syndrome'. Unable to internalize our own accomplishments, we live our lives haunted by the fear that, at any moment, someone will expose us for the charlatans we are.
So, apply for grad school today: you'll fit right in.
As for me:
I thought of two things I could confess. But I'm convinced that anyone who has read my posts would know immediately it was me. Sorry.
Unless we're including drunken acts of adolescent hooliganism, in which case, I've gotten into a few street fights, been arrested once, dropped a lighted cigarette in a postal box, pissed on a bank's glass doors, and smeared a wad of blood-stained paper towels on someone's car windshield.
I also french-kissed a strange guy one night, but I wouldn't call that 'hooliganism'.
I think this is fairly common. I know I felt like that to a degree. What helped me get over it was the fact that I had better grades than almost all of my peers, etc. That may sound callous but it was reassuring at the time!
I also heard another fellow student say something like this. And this was the guy who seemed all super confident, competent, etc. Basically, he was the type of student *I* wanted to be. And, if he was saying that, shoot, I figured it was totally normal to feel that way.
Stick at it. Just tell yourself that you'll work as hard as necessary to succeed and you will.

If they're good lies, they'll get published.
More from the BBS confessional files.
First, more college skiving & petty theft (a recurring theme, it seems):
And second, something spooky from the moderator on the grassy knoll:
OK, a small one from me, just for balance and pour encourager les autres: back in school I swapped the price stickers on a Genesis game for its (cheaper) Master System equivalent. Saved about ten quid, I think. Karma got its own back though, since I was never able to finish the game, even using cheats.
A little from column "A" and a little from column "B".
Though I joined Facebook early on (maybe even before they had albums, or at least before they became as popular as they are now) I know I consider this a pretty great thing about the site (as I'm sure many other males do).
I can honestly say I never even thought of that until this thread.
Me neither.
What's wrong with you guys? I don't understand how someone couldn't think of that.

It makes perfect sense, I just never thought of it before. I'm also too lazy and don't feel like looking through other people's pictures anyway.
This makes me glad that I have the discretion not to put stuff like that on my Facebook page...

Guys, stop giving away the plays...soon there'll be no swimwear shots on social networking sites.
THis one time at my step mom's parents' house I broke the handle off the sliding shower door. I managed to prop it up and make it look okay. Never said anything about it.
One weekend I was supposed to help my boss move some tables and chairs at this old school gym he rented for training session the next week. I showed up early and the only person there was the custodian, who had the door open (I didn't have a key). He left after 10 minutes. And I quickly got bored, so I removed the bar (like a steering wheel locks) from the double doors that connected the gym to the school (which was still being used). I peaked around and got half way down a hall and then an alarm came on. Since I had no one there to explain what I was doing there, I got the heck out of there, closed the door, put the bar back on...closed the gym door and left. 30 minutes later I drove back and observed from a distance to see if my boss had shown up. But he didn't...so I went home.
The next day he asked me what was happened to me. I just said something came up.
Another coworker who was supposed to show up there that day never did, either. Turns out he was in jail. I was worried he showed up after me and got busted in connection to that alarm, but then it turned out he got arrested for something else.
The worst part was I missed what would've been overtime pay.

That will happen on the day there are no more women who like to show off.
I wouldn't worry.
I agree. Though I have now seen more of my friends and their girlfriends than I'd wish to, including a mates other half who keeps posting artistic nudes of herself :|
