I confess that my trust is so shaky to begin with, that once lost, I see little hope of getting it back. :(

I confess that I'm staring blankly at this essay I'm supposed to be rewriting right now; it's due tomorrow morning, first period, and I've all ready used my late pass. I confess that I'm probably not even going to go to school tomorrow (me being me, I always manage to catch multiple sicknesses at once), but it's due anyway. I confess I think that's absurd, but hey, what're you going to do.

Ah, the joys of having your creativity ripped from you... By arbitrary subjects and arbitrary deadlines.

I confess... Sometimes you need to learn to jump through hoops on prompt. Needing to do so won't necessarily last forever; but the ability to do so is a useful thing to develop in this day and age. Generally speaking, this is nothing more than the ability to force yourself to focus when you really don't want to, on things you really don't want to. It is largely a matter of self-discipline, self-control. If nothing else, these are useful things to learn, no?

Anyway, good luck. Grades are largely a matter of learning to jump through hoops. BUT, those grades may come in handy, later on in life. Really. It is a hard thing to see when you are young, but later on, it may become apparent how the arbitrary efforts in your earlier days were worth it. Grades are intrinsically worthless; but, they can be used to open doors, some of which you may later wish to open; don't discount them too quickly...

Good fortune,

- Icarus the Essayist

I confess...

That although I am often the voice of reason, tend to be successful, doing very well academically, and one of the happiest, funniest, well-liked people on here...

...I am a very lonely, depressed person right now.

I confess that I have been on a UK CB radio forum too much recently

(not that I would ever abandon the safe, Amy Nelson free, atmosphere of WrongPlanet)

I confess I sing my son the Red Dwarf theme like a lullaby.

He already knows some of the words.

I'm going to send him to school calling people smeg-heads. :P

It’s cold outside, there’s no kind of atmosphere,
I’m all alone, more or less,
Let me fly, far away from here,
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun.

I want to lie shipwrecked and comatose,
Drinking fresh mango juice,
Goldfish shoals nibbling at my toes,
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun.

That's great. :D

I confess, I wrote those lyrics in caligraphy for art class... along with my terrible rendition of the Space Bug.

Keep in mind this was before the internet was widespread... I had to get the lyrics off my uncle's Smeg-Ups tape.

I had no idea they were saying Goldfish shoals nibbling at my toes... :P
