Finally, I have the time and energy to get back to this blog, and I figured I'd do a Postsecret review for this week's secrets.
"For all these years**, I can only reach orgasm by thinking about male soccer players."
Initially, I assumed this secret was written by a woman and so I thought it wasn't too out of the ordinary, but then I thought, what if maybe it was actually written by a man? That would make it a bit more out there...
"I'm not Christian. I'm not even religious. But, when I'm ALONE on long road trips, I love listening to Christian music. I even sing along. I have a USB full of it."
Some of it is sort of catchy, I guess. I assume this person is referring to modern Christian music, not hymns, but some hymns are okay too. This secret also made me think of that one episode of Arrested Development where George Michael's girlfriend invites him to a Christian music bonfire: "George Michael asks his father if they have any music he can use for the Christian music bonfire that he and Ann are going to be hosting at the house. Michael suggests Christmas music, but George Michael clarifies that it's not a 'Christian music' bonfire but rather a Christian 'music bonfire,' in which they burn satanic music."
"My friends talk about Republicans as if they're subhuman. I am a Republican. They dont know that it bothers me." (with "I am a Republican" written inside an outline of the Republican elephant symbol)
While I can somewhat understand the sentiments of these friends, it's at the very least, somewhat rude to say things like that in the presence of a Republican. But who cares about civility these days...
"You lied about being on birth control
You thought I would never figure it out" (on a Mother's Day card)
I wonder about the relationship between the writer of this secret and the person who apparently is now a mother, not to mention the specific circumstances of this situation...
"I have orgasms to the thought of Jake Tapper reporting that President Trump has been impeached."
This I can actually somewhat understand... I wonder why Jake specifically though, and not, say Wolf Blitzer, or Anderson, or Jim Acosta, et al. This secret also included a drawing of the Republican elephant symbol.
"Now that I've won I want to keep it a secret so people don't use me for the money" (over a lottery ticket receipt)
I wonder how much money this person won -- enough apparently that they're worried people will try to use them for the money, I guess.
"When it's time to throw away my monthly contacts I think of all the beautiful things and happy moments they've seen"
This one is just a nice little sweet happy secret.
"I killed my neighbor's cat with the same toy they threw at me." This one seems violent and also a bit unsettling, what with the cat-killing mentioned in it... poor cat.
"since he broke up with me 9 months ago i don't sleep naked anymore"
I like this one because there's a nice drawing of a figure and the cursive handwriting of whoever wrote it is nice.
"I wonder if the things that remind me of you remind you of me." This one is also a nice sweet little secret. And the handwriting on this one is nice too.
"When you don't answer my text messages, I'm afraid they found (one of the) bodies." This one is... intriguing, to say the least. I really wonder about those bodies... perhaps the implication is that they're bodies of murder victims? For the record, when people don't answer my texts, I usually just worry that they got hit by a truck/killed in a car crash... for some reason, that's just the first place my mind goes.
That's it for the secrets, or at least the ones I thought were interesting enough to review and write up my thoughts about.
In other news, I recently added to my slowly growing rock collection. I don't really care what exact kind of rocks they are; all that I really care about is that they're interesting looking and not too big/heavy to practically carry/collect. They have been accumulating in various corners and on various surfaces in my room.
I have also been working my way through watching some documentary series. I already finished one about Bobby Kennedy, and now I'm onto (and halfway through with) one about the Vietnam War that aired on PBS earlier this year (or last year?) and is now on Netflix, which is where I'm watching it. For a while, I've thought the Vietnam War is something I should know more about, hence watching this documentary series in an effort to learn more about it.
I also discovered the joy of wearing swim trunks and now I'd like to have more than just one pair to wear. Pockets!! What a concept! And fun prints/colors/patterns to boot. Maybe this time of year I could find some nice ones on sale...
