The only excuse for making a useless thing
is that one enjoys it immensely;
All art is useless.

My favorite blog is probably postsecret. People from around the country send postcards with secrets on them to a man who, chances are, will never meet them. Every sunday I dutifully type the website into my address bar and gorge myself in the lusciousness of knowing things about people i don't even know. I've attempted to send in a few secrets myself, but I never actually got around to doing it. So, I thought that i would dedicate this entry to (mild, short, sweet) secrets that I want to send, but probably won't.
  1. I'm afraid of turning sixteen because I won't have the excuse of being too young to date anymore; I know that no one will want to date me, still.
  2. A good portion of my years in junior high were dedicated to RPing cats on neopets. (hence the awful grades)
  3. I get depressed very easily, even if I appear happy.
  4. I'm a jerk. Well, I guess that's not a secret.
  5. Sometimes, when I'm alone in public, I pretend like I'm texting so I look like less of a loser.
  6. I wish I had a different mom.
  7. I don't like myself very much. I have self-image issues.
  8. I get jealous too easily.
  9. From 4th grade to last year I was afraid of my dad (and all adult men) because of a story I read in chicken soup for the kid's soul. Every once in awhile the fear comes back.
  10. I lie so much and so well that I convince myself some things, and I'm afraid of it.
  11. I feel like I'm inadequate at everything I do.
  12. I enjoy defying my mom's orders.
  13. I'm addicted to the internet.
  14. Once I get into something, I can't stop.
  15. Some of my friends I only put up with because I don't want to be lonely, and I don't like change. (this also goes with 'I'm a jerk')
  16. I'm afraid of the shower.

and that should be it.
