And now your host(ess) will stop talking about herself in the third-person because it's making her feel uncomfortable.
Stay tuned for weekly secrets and the occasional lie* or two thrown in the mix.......................................................................................
Straight From the Bottle Recaps:
-To Live and Cry in L.A.: Hollywood isn't exactly THE DESTINATION to raise children...
-Don't Call Him Daughter: Because he clearly is a BOY. Duh!
-Mama Loves Disco: We are sooooo with the DJ, it's not even funny
....................................................................................
*Am I the only person who believes many of these so-called secrets, are actually total lies? So people can make themselves feel more interesting? Or am I just being cynical?
I imagine if I were to send something in to PostSecret I would want to make up something GOOOOOOD. Something that really made people say "fuuuuuck" like for instance:
Once I killed this random bum named Gary and buried him in my backyard. And I just want to say... I'm so sorry, Gary. I'm so very, very sorry....Or something equally as movie-of-the-week worthy and nuts.
Don't get me wrong. For the most part I think PostSecret is a fascinating portrayal and collection of emotionally buried bones. I just wonder how much of it is true.

I sometimes wonder the same thing - about the lies. I'm guessing a good chunk of them just want to be seen, be it a total lie or a half-truth. Either way it's a totally addicting read.
And we're totally rocking the baby disco today - can't wait.
I'm so glad you said that, because I've wondered that so many times, too. Guess I'm not the only cynic out there. Ha...
Aha! YES! See? It's very The Emperor's New Clothes-ish.
I figured a lot of that was...erm...enhanced. BUT, the idea is so cool that I, um, conveniently forget that most of the time.
But even though the secret may be a lie to the person who sent it, I'm sure it's true for someone out there.
Totally, Clyn. I think that's why we all check every week. To try and find our own.
I'm an obsessive reader of Post Secret!
There was a neat quote on there this week:
"Every single person has at least one secret that would break your heart. If we could just remember this, I think there would be a lot more compassion and tolerance in the world"
I think that sums up why I enjoy the website so much.
I've sent in a t least 15 fake secrets a good portion of which have been posted. What can I say, I'm evil AND heartless!
Truth be told, I think it's fun to see how creative I can get with in a 4X6 postcard. Everyone has there reasons for using POSTSECRET, that's mine.
I love that site, but it does seem like I am starting to recognize some of the handwriting.
PostSecret depresses the ever-loving crap out of me. I don't read it.
But you? I'll always be here because you amuse the ever-loving crap out of me.
I found that site to be alternately amusing and utterly creepy. And yeah, if I was going to fake a secret it'd have to be way more over the top than some of those.
So... we're still waiting for your secret!
That Hollywood post is amazing - and freaked me out entirely. What are we doing???
Post Secret: fake. 85%, guaranteed. Maybe not in the beginning but now for sure. Just graphic designers getting nutty with a blank postcard.
