"wow this does make me feel better, like someone cares..."

The Ishbadiddle Internet Confessional -- my simple post about PostSecret that has now become a place for people to post their secrets -- has reached 100 comments. Probably the strangest chapter in the history of this blog. I hope it helps those of you who use it...

Kind of strange -- I guess it speaks to the need out there for a release, as well as for serious grammar/spelling remediation (my secret is that I get disappointed when people use rapid-fire technology as their excuse to write in sloppy short-hand).

Interestingly, Andrew Santella on Slate (http://www.slate.com/id/2130589/?nav=tap3) just focused on this issue of internet confessions as part of a larger discussion about cultural trends among us Catholics, the great majority of whom no longer follow through on the sacrament of confession. He mentions a couple of other sites -- Daily Confession and Not Proud -- that appear to offer the same service to internet confessors as Post Secret.

It does seem sad to find that so much sharing is done in such an impersonal way. While this can be seen as therapeutic, in that it provides a safe way to share, it does seem like for many people, one problem they suffer from is a lack of meaningful interpersonal contact, and this does not solve that problem ...

I broke up with my boyfriend of two years because I thought it would make me happier. I am more depressed than ever. He is a good guy and loved me very much, I didn't feel the same.I drank too much last night and said things to hurt my roommate. I wish I hadn't turned to alcohol to fix my problems. I don't know why I'm even at university, I don't deserve to be. I feel guilty but I have to fix my life because I don't want to hate myself forever. I just wish I knew how to change?

I would dearly love to have sex with someone else other than my wife. My wife's best friend is nice with huge breasts, but you know, I fantasize about a threesome with the friend and her husband. I wonder what it would be like to go down on him and let him enter me from behind. Should he be huge or tiny? I'm not sure, but tiny for behind and huge to go down on, I think. I have an erection now, so I'm going to masturbate in the shower now. That's the only sex I get these days.
