Ah, this gives me lots of ideas for things to confess, starting with Masters of the Universe, and ending with sensible clothing.
I confess that I used to really enjoy the He-Man cartoons when I was young, though in retrospect they're badly done and make no sense. I confess that I would often become annoyed with Skeletor for failing miserably over and over again, and employing incompetent buffoons to help him accomplish whatever his evil plans were (I don't even remember).
I confess that for the longest time, I had a crush on the sorceress who lived in Castle Greyskull (a falcon girl!)
I confess that one year for Christmas, I was prompted by my grandmother for what toys I wanted (she spoiled the hell out of me). I got the bizarre notion in my head to completely mix genres; I wanted the Castle Greyskull play set (more than anything!), but I wanted G.I. Joe figures to go with it. So I made a short list that started with Castle Greyskull, and listed a few G.I. Joe figure to go with it. My grandmother ended up getting me castle Greyskull and about a dozen of the Masters of the Universe figures, which is NOT what I was expecting. I confess that I was confused and surprise and disappointed about this at first, but ended up enjoying having imaginary adventures with the unexpected figures. I remember Swamp Man came with a rather bizarre mossy smell... I confess, I've often wondered what chemical formula one applies to plastic to get it to smell like moss.
As for sensible clothing depicting sensible clothing (recursion!), I confess that I'm at work wearing this Super Girl t-shirt right now:

I confess that it occurs to me that She-Ra's outfit is too loose and modest in comparison.
I confess that Super Girl is yet another fictional cartoon character that I have a crush on. [Sorry, this is, perhaps a bit vulgar... But I confess that this odd paradox has occurred to me: if Super Girl is invulnerable, is it possible for her to lose her virginity? How
would that work, exactly?

I confess that wearing this shirt to work amuses me because it borders on inappropriate, but is not quite inappropriate. I confess that I've yearned for someone to complain about it or give me a hard time, but nobody has ever so much as mentioned it.
I confess that I was just in a 1:1 with my boss, and we got on the subject of how "crazy" (eccentric) I am; then we got onto the subject of one of my teammates, and my boss commented that she is "probably crazier than I am" (in a good way; we're all friends). I confess I took that as a challenge, and am going to make a point to "out-crazy" my teammate. (Though I must confess that said referenced teammate can probably give me a run for my money.)
I confess that yesterday I could be seen walking the halls of my work building wearing a reproduction of the sword-holding bandoleer worn by Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean, which had arrived in the mail that morning (the accompanying cutlass was at home). I confess I made it a point to stop by all of my teammates offices and show it off. Ha! Nobody out crazies me.

Right back at you! I'm smiling now, too. ^_^
Finally, I'd like to confess that I missed the introduction of v2.0 of text expressions that most people younger than me seem to have naturally mastered. I confess it makes me feel old when I only know the old :- ) ;- ) ;-P type things, which, in comparison to some of the v2.0 stuff I've seen, are nowhere near as expressive. I confess, I'll probably never bother to update my knowledge in this area. This old dog already knows too many tricks...
Good fortune,
