The Child Catcher scared the living daylights out of me when I was a kid

Did you see that Paul O'Grady (Lilly Savage) played the Child Catcher in the stage version of this last year.

That cured the fear for me, everytime I saw him, I just kept thinking of Lilly

As for secrets, people tend to trust me, don't know why really, I guess it comes from a good track record

[kbk3022]

Secrets, I can keep most of my secrets to myself, but I do like to share little ones sometimes. No one seems to trust me with their secrets though, I don't know why, I guess I'm not a tell all of your secrets to type of person.

[Dumbsaint]

Hee. Well, relaxing afterwards perhaps.

Okay. Brian? You're psycho. Eowyn (or however the hell you spell her name) has NOTHING on Arwen! Truly you are a crackhead. But I still love you.

Nice to see that other than the elf, Gertrude has no real competition.

Heh. *signs up for elfporn.com subscription* Just um... yanno, to stay... competetive... and stuff. Ahem.

MAISEY12: "I am very good at keeping secrets, not because I am totally confidential, but because I usually forget what the secret was in the first place and who confided in me."


I am the exact same way. As a matter of fact, I usually tell people who are hesitant to open up before hand that it won't matter because I won't remember anyway. Heh.

As for dealing with my own life, I have no secrets. I don't have that little voice in my head that says "Uh, maybe you shouldn't say that" thus loads of people know loads of things about me they just wouldn't care to. No tact.

I could not resist the lure of slogan maker.

I decided to go with a word i read often in pens, a smutfic author's staple, so to speak:

"Gee, your center smells terrific."

"Come see the softer side of center."

"Frau-the fresh maker!"

As for secrets, I am often told secrets, because I listen well, and often give out advice. I think secrets are interesting, because once they are spoken, they seem to become more real, in a way, only sometimes....I'm feeling secretive.

I think that Tara and Willow tell eachother many secrets, mostly inside jokes would be my first imagining.

Edited to add:

"With a name like center, it has to be good."

"Center, it looks good on you."

Thanks-frau

Well I gotta side with Brian on this one, Julia. Eowyn kicks Arwen's ass right outta Middle Earth. Eowyn Eowyn Eowyn every time. Because of the sword play. There's something about a woman in leather who can really handle long tools.

[Warduke]

Julia, you spend way too much time playing with Gertrude because you're confused about something, I'm NOT the one who's in love with Eowyn, that's Scott!

I'm an elf lover all the way baby!

[Dumbsaint]

Swordplay? You call that swordplay? She hefted the thing and swung it what? For a total of 18.3 seconds? Ooh, scary!

Ah, yes. Eowyn and her mighty mastery o' the blade, with which she conquered... oh, wait, NOTHING!

Arwen outraced, challenged, and outsmarted evil horseman ring-bearer thingees and kept Frodo from giving up and dying. But then, who wouldn't cling devoutly to life while pressed to bosom-of-Arwen? If that's not a reason for living, I dunno what is. Arwen all the way, baby!

Hee. Brian, 'scuse my moment of craziness. I should have known you would never foresake the goodness that is elf nekkidness.

[tommo]

Okay; Arwen - her mouth, my peanut of love. That's all I'm sayin'. Freaking swordplay, my ass.

ok I haven't posted in a good while. Funny thing is I posted about this subject, except it had to do with my family's secrets. I recently found out that my father isn't really my biological father. I was checking out stuff on the net and find a site that had all vital records including marriage licenses. Me being the curious one I had to enter in my parent's names. I found out they were married in 1983 and I was born in '80. So I kept thinking that they just had me out of wedlock. I got this info. in August and brought it up to my mom in November. I was laying in bed and she came in my room and turned off the light and layed down with me. So I thought to myself it's now or never if I ask her. She didn't have a clue what I was going to ask, why would she. I told her that I was on the net and I read the date about their marriage. She got really quiet and I looked up and just stared at her waiting for some response. She started to cry so I kept asking "what?". Then she started shaking her head and I think at that moment I knew. I tried to ask her questions but nothing would come out probably cause I was speechless and crying way too much. She told me the whole story, which I'll leave out cause I seriously doubt it will fit in the box and probably take up way too much space. My mom's side has kept this from me for 22 years and I don't know how they did it. I've only said anything to my two good friends and you guys. My mother thinks I should let my dad know that I'm aware of all of this. At this time though I just don't think I could do that to him. I'll never tell my brother though. I love him to death and I couldn't take him looking at me or my mom differently or even acting differently around me. Not that he would consciously do it to be mean, I know better than that. My mom is afraid that I'm gonna use that as an excuse for if and when I screw up. She's always telling me to just forget about it that it was way in the past. But how do you forget something like that? Anyway, that's enough of my story. I've already taken up to much space, just something I had to get off my chest.

Emery, I hear you. Oh, God, do I hear you. Our stories are somewhat different. (See my post earlier in this thread.) But I definitely know where you're coming from.

Even though I don't have any contact with any of my family except my mother, I can imagine how it must be to be there, in the middle of your family, knowing what you know.

How do you forget something like that? You can't. You just can't. But I can tell you this - it will get easier. When I first found out, I felt like my entire world had been turned upside down. I was angry, sad, and a whole lot of other unpleasant things. Ten years later, though, it's just part of my history, part of what makes me who I am.

Give it some time, Emery. You'll understand what you need to do when it's time for you to understand it. Make sense?

Feel free to email me if you want to talk more, okay?
