The Confessional

[AquaFizz]

Let's see what sort of dark, twisted, or shallow things we'll own up to in the confessional. One rule: No advice given unless it is explicitly sought.

You can, however, suggest a penance.

Example:
Fizz: I just daydreamed about running my father over with the van.
Amelia: As penance, throw back some jell-o shots and lock yourself in your room until you come up with a less messy idea.

PS-Has this already been done? I couldn't find it, if it was. But I find it hard to believe we don't have one.

[AquaFizz]

I'll go first (since that is, afterall, the reason I thought to make one).

My month has sucked. I had to pay my speeding ticket from my road trip, I lost my job & still haven't found a new one, and the window on my car just fell down and won't go back up. I don't have the money to fix it right now. The most crushing part is that this inhibits me from going to a gig tonight or tomorrow. It's not too far away, but its far enough that I don't want to risk it in the van or in my dad's car. I was really looking forward to going because there was probably going to be a guy there that I was really hoping to run into again. All this bad money stuff left me with one horribly shallow thought...

If I were still married, I'd have the money.

(Obviously, being 10 hours late, less than helpful)

Your penance, Fizz, is to take the interior panel off the offending door, chock the window in the "up" position with a bit of 2-by-2, and drive around like that until you can afford to repair it.

[AquaFizz]

o.o That sounds almost as bad as my uncle's idea, which was to give it a good slam...that it might just be ice. I've parked it in the garage. I get my loan reimbursement money at the end of the month and I'll get it fixed then. Just such a bummer that I missed those concerts.

New Confession: I'm eating sushi and watching Pearl Harbor. I feel...wrong.

[Dregs]

MacGyver would have chocked it.

[Amelia]

Amelia: As penance, throw back some jell-o shots and lock yourself in your room until you come up with a less messy idea.

jello shots are always the answer.

My confession I have hung up on two people today after me telling the person where they are calling they as who it is they are calling.

example
ME: Happy Holidays thank you for calling the Holiday Inn, this is Amelia, how may I direct your call?
stupid guest: is this the holiday inn?
Me: click (the click is me hanging up)

Its just busy inundated with calls I cannot handle stupidity right now.

[gelflingjen]

your penance: next time you get such a call, immediately go into 'phone spelling'. Here's your script:

"Sure, sir, that's 'H' as in 'holly', 'o' as in 'orphan', 'l' as in 'lesbian', 'i' as in 'inconsitenence', 'd' as in 'dolly', 'a' as in 'amorphious', and 'y' as in 'yessir'. And then 'Inn' as in the opposite of 'out'.

My confession: I'm a teacher and one of my kid's father (who is ridiculously hot) is presently the central figure in my over-active fantasy life.

[Amelia]

gelfling, thats where jello shots come in and give the hot dad a couple too.

[Anita Blake]

your penance is to marry him and never, ever tell him. Live a long and unfulfilled life and on your deathbed, sigh wistfully at the life you could have led.

(wow, harsh penance!)

[Arianna]

I went out to buy christmas gifts for people and came home only with clothes for myself. But they're really cute.

[dark fuschia]

Your penance is to find creative ways to wear them on your head. Unless they are headgear, in which case, to devise clever belts out of them.

Thanks for the penance Anita... umm >>>is scared right now<<<

[AquaFizz]

~seal claps!~ This is fun.

Confession: I vote for polls on BBC Radio (Radio 1, mostly) and NME ALL the time. I even signed that petition from BBC Radio when they were talking of shutting down some stations. I probably shouldn't do that since I'm not British and I don't pay any of the taxes used to keep said stations funded. Alas, they're my only source for new, quality entertainment as America is always a million years behind GB.

[Eyreplenh]

(wow, harsh penance!)

No shit! If this is the standard of penance these days, I'll keep my sins to myself

[AquaFizz]

Fess up, Sinner! ()

[Arianna]

I drank too many mimosas with a scant breakfast and now I'm going Christmas shopping!!!
