Embarrassing objects at home

[Nuzzolese]

ranging from slightly embarrassing to humiliating




Most of my current journals and poetry

Letters some people have written to me - why do I keep them? I don't know. They somehow confirm something in me. Not sure what.

Hair bleach - the kind for hair on your face.

Self tanning lotion.

Individually packaged feminine cleansing cloths - like baby wipes for your nether regions.

Journals from my last year of school, mentioning God and praying, talking about how I'm goal oriented and free and have high standards. Including mention of a Euro-trash mimbo who couldn't have cared less about me, and how I considered living with him because he seemed romantic.

Similarly cringe-worthy journals from when I was in love, talking about how I feel and how I'm going to feel that way forever, poems about him filling pieces of me like a puzzle fits together. gahh!

Photos on a CD, that my old boyfriend and I took together, alone, of just us looking cheesily in love and kissing - only for us to look at - basically so we could admire how much we looked like a couple.

The Lucky Shopping Manual - a thick book of fashion and how to go shopping, and the best clothes to wear, what looks good on what body type, what shoes to wear with stuff, what to pack on trips, etc...

You've Got Mail on DVD - yes, I like it.

A book called Entre Nous: How to Find your Inner French Girl - wasn't bad.

A book called What Southern Women Know that Every Woman Should - crap, but I have looked at it more than once.

Surplus cardboard boxes, sheets of plastic, packaging material and plastic bags - you never know!

A ceramic snowman I won as a raffle prize - I think it's kind of cute, and it's just for the hollidays.

HUGE ratty old blue fleece sweatpants.

Velvet underwear - crushed velvet.

A collage of pictures I've collected of hairstyles I like.

Lists of plans I've had, options and such, with pros and cons over the deliberation of decisions I never even finally made.

Nerdy British and American literature books about theories of criticism and analyzation.

A few mixed CDs with all those songs they play at the end of bad movies, some dumb poppy love songs, and the soundtrack to Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

One of those ab-roller things that's like a rollerskate with handles - maybe I used it 5 times. Situps and crunches are much easier.

[ToucanSpam]

can we contribute our stuff too? :o

[Nuzzolese]

Oh yes I'm sorry I forgot that part! Please do.

[Bob]

a bottle of hand lotion (norweigian formula something or other, if you're interested) that i made the mistake of keeping on my desk, in plain sight. i swear, it's for my hands, they get very dry in the winter, and bleed everywhere. my friends didn't seem to interested in my explanation

[avignon]

winnie the pooh shower curtain rings

darth vadar movable talking bank that is so old that when he says "impressive" he sounds queer

a baby blue cowboy hat that I bought at the Kentucky State Fair (last week)

every toy that I've ever gotten out of a box of cereal in the last five years at least

[ToucanSpam]

Star wars toys on my computer

A 12 inch Boba Fett action figure

a foot scrubber

a fake boob my friends gave me for my 19th birthday as a joke

valentines from when I was 7

[Nuzzolese]

In that collage of hairstyles are a couple of pictures of my friend, printed off email attachments. She might be weirded out if she knew I had pictures of her in a drawer. It's just for her hair though, so maybe she'd understand and not think I was Jennifer Jason Leighing her Bridget Fonda.

[Nuzzolese]

Oh I forgot about the box of tinker toys, some of which were stolen.

[cosmo105]

our organic peach flavored lube sits out on the nightstand most of the time and i always remember right when company gets here to OH GOD PUT IT AWAY...

i have the feminine wipes too :o

and tushie flushable natural wipes for the potty :o

lots of embarassing toiletry items in the cabinet...

herbal laxative tea

my old diaries and journals from 6th grade to senior year (i think we all write bad poetry at one point or another)

Chris Gaines CD (shut up shut up shut up that one single was good it was my dad's shut up)

en vogue, immature, savage garden, goodburger soundtrack CDs (fuck you i was 12)

a pretty unreasonable amount of plush penguins and killer whales

various skanky underwear that i never, ever, ever have worn

and at my mom's house, hilarious old love letters from high school boyfriends.

[Qdrop]

do you guys ever think that you get TOO personal and revealing for a message board?

[Qdrop]

Chris Gaines CD


HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!

[cosmo105]

no, because most of these people i'll never meet, and the ones that i have, i'm comfortable with anyway. go pester everyone in some other thread.

hey, i SAID it was my dad's.

[Bob]

do you guys ever think that you get TOO personal and revealing for a message board?

and here i expected a contribution

[Nuzzolese]

What's embarrassing about the tushie wipes? It's no worse than TP.

I steal my toilet tissue from the office bathroom. That's pretty embarrassing, I mean how cheap can you be?

I also have herbal laxatives.

[Nuzzolese]

do you guys ever think that you get TOO personal and revealing for a message board?

Nope.

[Qdrop]

some of the things you guys are listing are actually pretty cool.

[Lindsey_1535]

Space Jam CD right beside my computer I enjoy listening to.
Blade 3 poster.
Star wars Poster.

Though Im not even really that embarrassed by them. Other people jsut make fun of me when they see them.

[avignon]

Star wars toys on my computer got it

A 12 inch Boba Fett action figure got it

a foot scrubber got it

a fake boob my friends gave me for my 19th birthday as a joke don't got it

valentines from when I was 7 don't got it

[Nuzzolese]

En Vogue was good, girl! Whatever happened to them?! I have a copy of the song "Whatta Man" that they did with Salt N Pepa. It's on the same mix as "Damn! (I wish I was your lover)" by Sophie B. Hawkins.

[cosmo105]

both some of my absolute favorite 90s tracks ever.

did you know Sophie's big in the lesbo crowd? a good friend of mine (who wears shirts that say, in rainbow letters, PRIDE) is a huge follower of hers and takes pro photos at her concerts.

[ToucanSpam]

got it

don't got it

don't got it

You don't have this Boba Fett. Detailed, and he has the gun and jetpack and basically hes a barbie with Mandalorian armor on. :o :o :o

[Nuzzolese]

I did know that though never why. Same with Ani DiFranco who is straight as far as I know, which isn't very far. I love her work but I don't know about her preferences.

[Qdrop]

if that's the case...

then i have a 6ft tall homer simpson cut out in my garage...a WWF Ted "million dollar man" Dibiase action figure on my computer, an R. Crumb "don't forget to wipe your ass" poster in my studio....

[avignon]

Mine is vintage. Mint.

[ToucanSpam]

Mine is vintage. Mint.
sweet. You should post a picture of it!!

[Nuzzolese]

I have a tight Baby Phat long sleeve t-shirt with a glitter design. I love it. I've never worn it in public. I think this could be my affectation! I like that shirt. I'm wearing it. I don't care how dumb it looks. Soon as the temp drops she's into rotation.

[Qdrop]

she's Bi and currently dating a women.

my sister has every cd and DVD she ever put out....

that's...that's why i know....

Stop posting such personal things! You're creeping me out!

[Trimm Trabb]

- A diary which I wrote in 5 times between the ages of 11 and 17.
- A booklet with little weirdie drawings I made.
- A smurfs CD
- Darth Tater.
- a gabillion of VERY girly magazines meant for 11-16 year olds.
- Tampons
- A condom wrapper torn in my bag where my sister could see it (yeah that was pretty embarassing)

[Nuzzolese]

You guys, all that stuff is cool, collectible! I have RUN DMC Action Figures. I know they're cool. Why are you embarrassed by these things?

I still have my American Girls books...Happy Birthday Kirsten, Molly Learns a Lesson, Meet Samantha...

[Qdrop]

I have RUN DMC Action Figures.

all kidding aside...

how much do you want for them?


seriously.

[Nuzzolese]

I hate that tampons have to be embarrassing. It shouldn't be. If men menstruated you know they'd talk about it. Gloria Steinem wrote a funny article about how men would probably even brag about being "a two or three pad man." If I feel tired because it's my time, why can't I just say "I'm tired because I'm having my period." Why is that so indelicate and makes so many men - adults even - cringe? Instead I have to lie and say I'm just not feeling well and they're like "well maybe you should eat some meat."

[Nuzzolese]

I hadn't thought about it. They were a Christmas gift from my brother. They're still in the package.

jesus....*drool*

start thinking about it....


let's do this....

[enree erzweglle]

do you guys ever think that you get TOO personal and revealing for a message board?
This is a topic that comes up like clockwork with my one friend. He absolutely cannot believe the things that people write online or that I say even. And I try hard, very hard, to stay out of certain conversations. Like the orgasm one. Primo example.

I also try hard not to talk about him and when I have out of necessity, I've tried to disguise it a bit but I've slipped a few times. He and several other friends absolutely would not like that and several of them have asked me not to even mention stories about them here. It's completely understandable but it's hard to separate them out of my life.

In the context of what to post, I always hear my one friend--the first guy from above--say what he always says: Is what you're typing even remotely contributing to the benefit of the planet? He says it semi-jokingly but I always hear his voice when I am thinking of responding to a thread.

I feel the need to listen to this guy because all through the 90s when I posted on newsgroups for friends who didn't have accounts, he advised me against it. He's the most laid-back person that I know, but that I did that always upset him because I didn't get the gravity of it all. He was right about that. He's right about most things. It took me a long time to see that. I should listen to him now and not post here because he's probably right again, but I am 100% hooked.

Yeah it's weird it has to be that way. I even feel embarassed mentioning it to my sister or my friends.
And all men assume that "feeling ill" means you have a headache and they then tell you to just have some aspirine and get some sleep.
Well I can't sleep you asshole because it feels like my uterus is being ripped out and I have to puke all the time. NOW FUCK OFF!

[cosmo105]

hah, bragging about pads! you're so right, nuzz.

i hate having to always whisper "tampons." sometimes i want everyone to know that i'm having pretty bad cramps and they should probably send me sweet little cards to reassure me that they all adore me.

[Nuzzolese]

I have a ziplock freezer bag full of silica gel packets. I save the extra button and thread some clothes come with. Like the extra boxes and plastic bags and such...you never know!

[cosmo105]

you save the silica gel? i thought i was a pack rat, lordy.

my great-grandma saved gum wrappers from the 50s - she had boxes of stuff like that up to the ceiling in her home and you had to walk through a path of shoeboxes to get to her - and took a pair of shoes that my mom threw out in the 60s and wore them for about 10 years. but she was around during the depression, so i guess that would just be considered thrifty back then.

Like last night I was in pain at capoeira but I went anyway because excercise is supposed to make you feel better, but I was still tired and my lower back ached so I sat down after a while and they were like "you're tired already?! Awww!" and I knew I couldn't say what was really going on. I guess it's sort of like if you were to say "I have diarrhea" or something or "I have a yeast infection" except the only difference is your period is basically normal and healthy, it's not a medical condition.

[Rock]

1 v-neck sweater my sister gave me
1 turtle neck sweater someone gave me
To The 5 Boroughs

[Qdrop]

at capoeira

that's the brazilian dance/martial art, right?
would you ever consider using that as self defense?

[Nuzzolese]

you save the silica gel?

There's something cool about the silica gel. It's everywhere, and always says DO NOT EAT, even though you get it in places where they don't serve food. I ate one pellet once. Nothing happened.

[Qdrop]

To The 5 Boroughs

oooohhhhh....

[Bob]

would you have eaten it if it hadn't said not to?

[cosmo105]

put some in a glass of water. trust me.


it dances!

[Nuzzolese]

that's the brazilian dance/martial art, right?

Maybe aspects of it, but not really, no. It feels to me more like a physical game, a sport, a dialogue or a dance, than fighting.

[Qdrop]

Like last night I was in pain

sure there's no connection?

[Nuzzolese]

would you have eaten it if it hadn't said not to?

Only if I knew what it was. You can ingest silica. It's good for your hair and fingernails.

[Nuzzolese]

sure there's no connection?

:eek:

[Qdrop]

Maybe aspects of it, but not really, no. It feels to me more like a physical game, a sport, a dialogue or a dance, than fighting.

i was just imagining you being confronted in the street by a mugger...and you just break out into dance and break his jaw...

[Nuzzolese]

Someone would have to call my cell phone so that my ringtone would blast and I'd get a beat going to ginga to.

[cosmo105]

DID YOU PUT SOME IN WATER YET?!

[Nuzzolese]

You could really hurt someone if you kicked powerfully. It's just a lot of effort for the movements. Kick boxing or regular boxing would be more energy efficient I think. Capoeira has good evasive techniques though.

[Nuzzolese]

DID YOU PUT SOME IN WATER YET?!

No, it's all at home.

[JBernas]

Ani DiFranco who is straight as far as I know

She's bi....(I've got spots, mind if I have stripes?)

[adrockmelanie]

goodburger soundtrack CDs

i totally still have that.
except mine's a cassette tape.

[cosmo105]

all i want...is someone i can talk to...someone who will listen...to what i have to say...

[Abe Froman]

Framed pictures of board members.
Plastic table for a desk.
A wooden leg leaning against my night stand.
A cheeto behind the book shelf and i just can't reach it.
a sushi pillow.

[Nuzzolese]

What's a sushi pillow?

[Abe Froman]

A friend of mine went to her sisters baby shower. One of the friends gave the baby a pillow with pictures of sushi, soy sauce, etc. The sister disliked it and my friend said "OMG, I know someone who would love that pillow." That someone was me and yea, I dig it though it doesn't blend it with the theme of my bedroom.

I can't find a picture of it online so perhaps its a one of a kind. If you google "sushi pillow" and check out the images, there is some cool stuff!

[Documad]

It's funny you should mention it. I was thinking about drawing up a will and I'm telling the friend who is going to be my personal representative to come empty out a particular drawer at my house before my family comes over. :)

[thegoodmrbrodie!]

i cant think of anything. and now i'm, kinda, embarrassed that i have nothing embarrassing.

[synch]

It's funny you should mention it. I was thinking about drawing up a will and I'm telling the friend who is going to be my personal representative to come empty out a particular drawer at my house before my family comes over. :)
Reminds me of an episode of Coupling. The two male main characters were "porn buddies", if something happened to one of them they would rush over to the other person's house and collect all of the porn.

The girl asked "so what do you do with it"
"you keep it"
"what??"
"yes, that's the beauty of it... you lose your best friend... but you gain porn!"

Why did I think of Paul Jones while typing that?

[synch]

Way too many computers and hardware I don't use.

Vanilla Ice vinyl.

[zippo]

oh whatever

[DandyFop]

darth vadar movable talking bank that is so old that when he says "impressive" he sounds queer

Impressive....most impressive....but you are not a jedi yet!

*arm swings up, light saber goes on*

Yeah i had that too but it was broken and I sold it at a garage sale.

Hmm I'm trying to think of embarrassing things in mine.

I probably wouldn't want anyone to find my vibrator, or lube.

Backstreet Boys CDs.

This bulletin board I've had forever. When I was in 4th grade I was in love with a kid named Bob Plumb. On the back of it I scrawled "I LOVE BOB PLUMB". Yeah that's pretty embarrassing.

Of course old journals are idiotic. I remember calling someone a bitch in one and thinking it was so bad.

[CrankItUp!]

My love doll "Lucille". (y) The only thing that my parents didn't like about her is that she's black.
