So, fess up ... →[More:]... who sent me a book?

Ah, I found out who sent it. So instead, let's hear all your guilty confessions.

I told my cat he looks handsome with his lion cut but really he looks silly. He is sitting on my lap but luckily I don't think he can read.

I WANT TO SEE A PICTURE OF SMOOSHIE WITH HIS LION CUT!!!

I cannot seem to get the hang of walking up escalators that are not currently running, i.e., inert. Stairs. But with escalator spacing.

(What would be an example of an innocent confession? "I'm the one who left your favorite candy bar on your desk"? Even though that's a good thing, not a bad one, you're still culpable. Hmm...)

I have been trying to get one but he is very camera shy. Every time he sees me pointing the camera at him he runs to me and gets too close for me to take a proper picture. Tricky devil.

I should spend today cleaning OR working on the new upholstery project OR trying to fix the sofa that got broken (yes, broken!) during last week's party OR writing. But instead I'm going to sit here reading The Hairpin's Scandals of Classic Hollywood entry on Marlene Dietrich, then play zombie survival games for the next hour.

I don't know how to measure the air pressure in my tires.

I have not unpacked despite having returned to town yesterday. I think I might have some company tonight, so dammit, I really should.

But at least you now own a tire gauge.

Of my entire workday today, I was productive for less than an hour of it. Hey, if there were work, I'd be doing it.

I can't screw a screw into the wall. Really, what is my problem?

In general, if the Big Catastrophe ever happens, I am pretty sure my dearth of useful skills will guarantee my quick demise.

Didn't we just have a confessions thread?

I laughed at the Geek Hierarchy image from the Askme question about hierarchies, but I had to look up what "furry" meant.

Buying used items other than books, cds & dvds squicks me. So a blanket for the car and a upholstered rocking chair are the only things I've brought used.

I pawn off the worst candy in chocolate assortments on my children.

We did, Melismata, and I started this one with a specific purpose - to find out who sent me a book. But then I almost immediately found out who'd sent it and so it seemed a shame to waste an already-started confessions thread.

OMG all three of our cats do this. Even when I'm trying to take a phone pic! How the hell do they know?

I committed a few small cheats in my boot camp food journal.
