True Confessions

No new entry for December 15. For full details, go here, and check here for this week's update.


There has been more discussion lately about how terribly 'whitebread' I am. Okay, yes, I did spend 16 years in the Boy Scouts. Yes, I rarely jaywalk. And yes, the last time I swore, after a full bottle of balsamic vinegar fell off the fridge onto my head, my swearing was so quiet that no one even heard me in the next room.

But here today, I want to set the record straight. In the interest of full disclosure and in apology for two weeks of drivel, I will tell the absolute truth about the worst things I've done.

Long time readers should recall when I related the story of a 'friend' who snuck into a movie. I hereby admit that that 'friend' was ME. That's right, I did the bad thing.

It only gets worse from here.

When I was in junior high school I brought my tuba home every weekend like my teacher insisted, but I never, never practiced. Okay once, but that was it.

Six years ago I slipped a stick of underarm deodorant up my sleeve in Safeway so I could leave without paying for it. Sure, I then went and paid for it anyway, but I could have just walked out! That evil was inside me.

At debate camp when I was 14, I would sneak out before wake up call and hang out in the quad with the other cool kids. Yes, debaters are cool. Shut up.

When I used to deliver flyers as a part-time job, I would deliver to about twenty houses, then dump the rest of the flyers in a dumpster behind a nearby elementary school and hand out in a playground until it was time to go home.

Once while I was delivering flyers, I stole free samples of Minute Maid Orange Soda from people's doorknobs. At three different houses.

I never ever return my rental movies on time, and when I can no longer dodge the late fees, I go to another store.

I spit my gum out the car window while I'm driving.

When I was a security guard I broke my oath by stealing office supplies from the place I was protecting. I still have some of those professional quality erasers today.

How do you like them apples?

At 17 I bought a six-pack of beer from a liquor store. And I didn't even need fake ID. I just walked in, stared him straight in the eye and bought it. And this was a Manitoba liquor store when you had to be 19 to buy alcohol.

When I worked as a cook as Boston Pizza I used to eat right out of the pizza topping containers as I made pizzas. And I never washed my hands.

Of course there was the party.

Back before the Internet became big and we all used to hang out on local online bulletin boards, I used to pretend I was a girl to see how many emails I would get.

In grade ten I went to a girl's house after school, got a little drunk and played Five Minutes In A Closet until late and then lied to my parents about where I had been. Sorry Mom and Dad, but the truth has to be told.

When I went to test for my driver's license I drove Mom's car to the registry bureau. By myself.

I sometime re-gift presents I don't like.

That enough for you? Do you believe my assertion now? I'm as vile and evil as any red-blooded man or woman. I succumb to the dark side every now and then. I'm surprised Santa doesn't bring me a stocking filled with coal EVERY YEAR.

That not enough for you? I saved the worst for last!

Here it comes.

..

This is the worst.

I'm not proud of myself.

In junior high school, at the annual track and field meet, I snuck under the bleachers, and I looked right up Debbie Kerrington's dress.

She was wearing pink panties.

I'm going straight to Hell.
