My new friend and I were at the front doors to the art center, just about to walk in, when I received a phone call from my babysitter...she needed me to come home right away. Upon returning home, the gentleman that accompanied me to the event suggested we sit down and share our own secrets with each other. I proceeded to grab a notebook and we each had our own pen. Three secrets each were shared. It ended up being the most incredible evening as we elaborated on our secrets, exposed our soft underbellies, and neither of us ran away - as we all fear will happen when we expose such intimate parts of ourselves. You be well, too... Sincerely, Kristen (2008 Schedule for PostSecret Events) 308 comments|post comment

Turns out I was deciphering my own secret. I'm going to get over my fear, I'm going to go for it. -----Email Message----- Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2008 9:56 AM Subject: Secret Code A PostSecret Community teen recently shared in a forum she couldn't share her secrets as her Mom read her diary and knew her id on PSC. This reminded me how my mother read my diary and reminded me of a secret I had. Since I had no outlet for expressing my anger, I would write my thoughts in acronyms. I knew exactly what I was saying, but no one else ever would. It was my secret way to let the anger out. The interesting aspect of this is I would often go back to the writings and what I previously said would now be a mystery even to me. It was my secret yet I couldn't decipher it. ---Email Message---- Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2008 2:11 AM Subject: Russian secret Я обожаю видеть русские секреты, тогда я чуствую что я не одна. -----Email Message----- Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2008 5:06 PM Subject: from student from Syracuse University I'll be sure to be extra nice the next time I visit. -----Email Message----- Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2008 5:59 PM Subject: Re: Copy Centers secret I KNEW IT! This year a UK and Korean edition of the PostSecret book came out and there are official versions of the website in French, German, Spanish and Korean. This week on Frank's PostSecret Blog on MySpace I interview Brian Cotlove who runs PostSecretFrance. Hi Brian, can you explain how you started PostSecretFrance? Being a longtime fan of PostSecret, I always found the foreign language secrets to be the most interesting and appealing to me. I think it's incredible how secrets can cross cultural and language barriers with ease. So I combined my love of the French language and culture with my love of PostSecret, made this video in French and PostSecretFrance was born. Can you share a postcard with us that has a personal meaning for you and explain why it is special to you? My favorite secret that I have gotten so far is the simplest one. It's scrawled on a Post-It note and says, "I'm mailing this card because I have the feeling that I'm going to meet the person who will change my life on the way to the post office." I'm actually kind of jealous of this person because they seem so unfailingly positive and confident. Yet at the same time this secret constantly reminds me how I am able to do just what this person did. I'm amazed every time I read it at how just a little Post-It note can make me feel. What is a secret about yourself you have never shared before? (Read the rest of this interview at Frank's PostSecret Blog on MySpace.)

On the economy, and crap. [30 Sep 2008|01:40pm] justthere I was talking this over with Warren this morning, because there is a lot in the world that I don't understand and he usually has a great take on it and is able to explain it in a way I get. This time, however, I think something fundamental is eluding me. So apparently, when the Dow dropped and the bailout failed to pass, the stock market lost 1.87 trillion dollars (or something similar). What I'm failing to understand is that if no one actually sold any stock - if whoever held it before still holds it, it seems to me the loss is theoretical and if the economy rebounds there was actually no physical loss of cash at all. Warren tells me that it is no more theoretical than waving a $20 bill and saying it's worth $20, that even though it's just a piece of paper it has a value, and if the value drops it's a loss of money.  So, OK, say the value of a dollar drops to .50. So if I had $20, and the dollar value was halfed, my $20 would only be worth $10 and I would have a loss of $10.  If I maintained that $20, didn't spend it or use it in any way, when the dollar rebounds I would again have $20 and not have lost any money at all because I didn't spend it when the value was low. Does that make sense?  So if the possessors of the stock that lowered don't sell it off while the value is low, theoretically they have no loss, right? What am I not getting? It is becoming increasingly aware to me that a.) I am not as smart as I think I am, and b.) I have no grasp of abstract. 6 comments|post comment

oh hai [28 Sep 2008|05:33pm] braid_my_mer Been a bit, huh? I figured today would be a good day for an update - mostly because I'm too hungover to even get out of my pajamas. So, as you can see, I'm still classy. Life's been a lot of the same shit different day type of stuff I guess, with a few big events in between. Like - In August I got to sit on the Green Monster and it was everything I imagined ! Obviously I'm excited about the postseason..except this has been the year of the wedding and there's one this weekend, so I hope it doesn't interfere with my watching. I know that is stupid - but I missed Manny's walk off last year because I was at a wedding and I was really sad. Ummm..work. Work is cool. I wish I had a job where I got to travel, though. Not much of that going on in my department - but whatever. I love the business(es) that I'm in and wouldn't change it. The people and the lifestyle are great. I'm thinking of taking a consulting job, though, so I can move and still work with the company. It'll be a minute before that happens - gonna take awhile for me to get used to the fact that I won't be seeing my friends every day. They're just so good - I'll be really sad. I am moving to Downtown Nashville, though, and outta the burbs in January. That'll be fun but waaay more expensive. My (our) dog just farted and it's a bit lethal. Speaking of my dog - she's awesome. Probably a lot cooler than your dog and when I say probably, I mean definitely. And she's got the cutest little face and ears I've ever even seen. Bless her heart. I'm halfass watching Michael Clayton right now. I couldn't really focus so I came to see how my work football picks are doing (i've missed 3 games so far) and then I thought I'd look at this thing since I haven't in awhile. I read more often than I write in it - but still it's right around once a month. So I'm sorry for not keeping up with your lives. I hope everybody is doing better than they were they last time I talked to them. I guess I should get back to my movie because I'll be really lost and I'll hate it and have to rewind and it'll just be a mess. Catch ya later, kids! 3 comments|post comment
