I confess that I'm no longer religious. I prefer the term spiritual. Religion just ties me down.

I'm worried that I may be an American trapped in a Canadian's body. :(

Farrah, forgive me for I may have sinned:

My wheelie bin went missing once, so I looked down the street and took a bin that may or may not have been mine, and painted my house number on it. I'm not sure if I should be sorry or not. There's nothing in scripture to advise me on that one, not that I'd trust it if there was, and I've not found anything in the philosophy of ethics that covers it either. My instinct tells me that it was a little bit naughty of me but that I shouldn't beat myself up about it.

I'd be sorry if I found out I'd nicked a bin belonging to somebody innocent who needed it, but I think the probability of it is incalculable, and it happened so long ago that it would be practically impossible to find out what actually happened. I suppose I could absolve myself by buying a bin and donating it to somebody who needed one, but for all I know I might have just stolen my own bin back when I originally committed that possible sin, and in that case I'd be out of pocket. I feel my moral duty is limited to not doing any overall harm to the world, and doing good at my own expense is just an optional bonus.

Because I don't play or love hockey, and I sound "American" when I speak.

Plenty of Yanks like hockey though. :P

I confess that I'm a German trapped in a Canadian body.

I must confess that I'm three goblins in a trenchcoat. :nerdy:

One time my mum asked me what I wanted to be for Halloween. I told her I wanted to be a goblin. She told me to be serious.

Lol.
It's not like she was asking what you wanted to be when you grow-up. :lol:

I confess that I tried marijuana once. I'd try it again if given the chance.

Ordinary person - There's a party down the street tonight.

Me - Oh Boy! Is there going to be drugs?

I want to get myself a Pickelhaube for my Birthday and I'd wear it out in public, too.

I confess that this is my favourite song, because it reminds me of my little Gingerbread world in a forest in the snowy German Alps in the winter and that's the only reason why.
