I'm a smoker.*
However, I've been rather ill over the last few days (and presumptively will ,yet again be, over the next few..)so I haven't locked lips with my tobacco sticks in around 90 hours and it just happens that I also have no cigarettes left. Now, in the bantam one-horse-town I'm currently at, as a coup de main, it is insurmountable to get any of my charming cancer sticks in the mouth of the night.
I confess too. No, no, I can admit it. That I get inordinately disagreeable when I haven't saturated my lungs in smoke for a while. I've been fencing my urges all night, trying to hold out until the shops open but, alas, my urges parry better than I, it would seem.

I just went outside to my ashtray.
Wait.

Let me give you a brief description this ashtray.

It's basically a ceramic pot, one that, once up on a time, was used to contain a curry paste. It has however, never been washed out. The stagnant tidbit of paste at the bottom has grown in to a furry, saag aloo biome with a smell that's probably only rivaled by Bangladeshi cesspits. It's been outside, come rain and shine (and it's England, so mainly the rain part) for so long that it quite frequently overflows with metaphorical cats and dogs. This constant watering and drying cycle of my fallen-solider cigarette ends has formed a blubberous, glutinous tar-like substance with an odor that even I, your smoking fellow Escapee, have to battle - with all five of my senses, to not accommodate my shoes with my lunch.

Now, I've dissected a handful of these soggy, Cthulhuian deformities, reassembled them and smoked.
Every.
Last.
Bit.

I feel revolting!
Help me feel slightly less loathsome my Escapist cohorts by confessing your ugly sins here.

Ever done something you are embarrassed about, or feel less of a human for doing, but dare not tell anyone you know? Post it here, in this fairly incognito surrounding for us all to laugh at and feel slightly better about ourselves.

Do you dare?



*Please keep opinions about people who smoke to yourself.

Are you a joker? Are you a smoker? Are you a midnight toker?

OT: I... I...

Don't like tacos all that much; not bad, but eh

I fear I have wakened a sleeping giant...

A couple of weeks ago I was at my best friend's house, along with some other friends. We ended up drinking and playing some board games, and a couple of us decided to play a drinking game as part of the board game. Now I don't remember much about the board game we were playing (nor do I remember much at all about the night), but from what I gather I was winning, a lot, and with each win I had to take a drink. So within a 2 hour period I drank something along the lines of 17 shots (no one is really sure of the actual number since no one was counting, but from other people's recollections this number seems about right). After this I blacked out, and according to my friends started babbling gibberish for a few minutes, then vomited onto the table, then laid down on the ground and vomited again, then got up, stumbled to the couch, and passed out face down for the rest of the night.

When I woke up I was pretty embarrassed, both because some of my clothing was caked in vomit, and because I quickly came to the realization that people had had to clean up my vomit after me (most likely my best friend and his girlfriend). In order to make amends to them I bought them some "I'm sorry you had to clean my vomit" fancy apology chocolate, because that's just the kind of classy guy I am.

Anyway, after that night I made the decision that I would never drink more than 4 drinks in a single night. I immediately deviated from that decision a week later, but that's another story...

Ahem... My mom gave me twenty dollars to give to the school donation thing my gym teacher was running, and I used it to buy several cokes in the morning over course of a few weeks. They were DELICIOUS! XD

Most of the shit I've done, is of an unspeakable nature, I will say that I was slightly embarrassed when I hacked open my own leg by accident while at work... on the toilet... seriously, no idea how I did it, 7 inch long bone deep gash, blacked out for a sec whilst fiddling with a REALLY sharp utility knife, and then there was a lot of blood, and I saw the inside of my leg for the first(and hopefully last) time ever...

But yeah, feeling less than human for me is a pretty common thing, I just have to think back to pretty well any month in the past... 14 years, maybe a bit longer, and I've done something I regret to this day... but hey, I'm a nice enough guy now, so I can't say I hate who I've become, just who I was.

Also I too smoke, started awhile ago during a rather dark depressing time in my life, and I still do, planning to quit pretty soon though, getting tired of having to go outside and smoke, and I'll hafta ditch it if I want to start running again, cuz I need all the lung capacity that I can get for that.

In my youth I was fond of spores, bacteria, Biology in general actually. So I had decided to take a plastic container. I filled it with a layer of dirt, Half of the container had grass on it, the other half was dirt that refused to have anything growing on it. I kept this outside. Under the stairs that led from inside to outside. It got enough rain, that in time the dirt that refused to have anything growing, molded. The grassy side had begun to grow Mushrooms.

A success I thought. So from there I decided to experiment further. Removing the mold from the side that had it. I poured a little bit of milk onto it. Thinking "Okay. Well Milk that is left out quickly curdles. Then eventually molds. So what will this do". Oddly enough the dirt that once could not support any life that required roots. Eventually grew grass. As well as some mushrooms.

From there, I continued to experiment with a vast majority of things. Almost empty ketchup bottles. That you just couldn't get the last bits of ketchup out of. Same with Mustard, and Mayo. (Thank god no animals visited my house eh?) Just about anything that I was able to get a hold of.

Until one day. Having used about everything I could.I just decided to mix, milk, ketchup, mayo, mustard, mushrooms, grass, various foods, some sugar, a tiny dash of flour, water, spread over grass. Let it sit for about three months, returned to it. And behold.. I don't know what it was. But I knew that Flies wouldn't even go near it, Nor ants, the grass had died, Mushrooms, mold wouldn't grow.

And that is the time I experimented with spores and biology.

Let me preface this confession by saying I despise pop in almost all its. "fun." is alright, but for the most part I find it to be vapid irritating nonsense about nothing, created by talentless cashgrabbing, melodramatic cunts.

Furthermore, I don't care for anime or Japanese culture. I think they're fine for the people who like them and the hentai side of things is nice, but for the most part, I stay away from Japan.

But right now............ I'm completely addicted to JPop in the form of Vocaloids. Hutsune Miku to be specific.

It's FILLED with everything I rail against western pop for, but I can't stop listening and watching the concerts.

Just..... Just look! It's so fucking amazing!


My only possible justification is that I'm a bit of a technophile and the projection techniques and voice synthesis are really quite incredible.

But still. I feel guilty and less human regardless...

My issue is the same but the opposite. I am an individual that is defined almost entirely by my restraint. I am risk averse and unable to do what others describe as cutting loose. Any time i have attempted to do what others refer to as being themselves, it feels forced. I can't even fake it. My brain thinks about everything in terms of cause and effect automatically all the time and i can't shut it down.

I can relax. I'm not an uptight stiff board in terms of personality. I just can't ever put myself in compromising positions. I'm always too conscious of my circumstances. It makes it hard for me to relate to others that do "crazy" things and it makes me feel like i'm missing some vital human property.

The fact that it makes other people treat me like a parent that they don't want to disappoint doesn't help. It makes people uncomfortable with being themselves around me. It's not even that i'm that judgemental. I feel like i ruin other people's fun just be being in the room. They say i'm too dignified and it makes them self-conscious.

I adopted one of my universities lab cats instead of euthanising it. It only lived for eight months after and it probably would have been more humane if I just killed it. I havent had another pet since then.

I don't know if this is better (certainly less gross) or worse (it's pre-planned,) but...

I keep my ashtray clean for the express purpose of smoking all the tobacco from the butts when I run out, either rolling "fresh" cigarettes if I have papers on-hand or skewering them with a sewing needle so as not to burn my fingers if I don't. Since I roll my own and don't use filters, this is a non-trivial amount of tobacco.

At first it was an occasional "Don't feel like going to the bodega" or "Don't have the cash at the moment," but now it's become standard practice to save money. (Of course, quitting to save money is not an option!) Like $8 of tobacco lasts four days, compared to $12 a pack legal or ~$7-8 a pack illegal that'd only last me one. It's gotten to the point where my friends, if they need to bum a cigarette, ask whether I'm "smoking ashtray" before deciding if they need one that badly.

Haha, oh OP, you made my day :D

EDIT: New story to comply with forum guidelines. Anyone interested in some other stories can PM me, whatever.

My downstair neighbour told me he can hear me singing in the shower. I've lived here for over a year. I almost always sing.

*shudder*

Might want to censor yourself mate, you can't discuss yourself partaking in illegal activities on here. Mods'll get ya.
Oh dear, yeah, I didn't think about that at all. The things I used are legal here, but I forgot that this isn't the case everywhere.
To the edit button!

Dude... just wanted to say that I love the way you write! That was a pleasure to read! I hope I see you round the forums more often! :D

OT: In terms of confessions... Well, the only thing I ever did that I regret was start a personal vendetta against a lass from my school.

Essentially what happened was during my 6th Form, a girl joined my year at school after moving over from the US. Within a year of being at our school, her loud, obnoxious personality had a polarising effect on our school. She made a large group of friends who seemed to adore her, but she also seemed to rub everyone else up the wrong way. Throughout the rest of the school, however, she seemed to be well received, in a way a foreigner always is.

Well... we were of a year where the school had suddenly doubled the size of the 6th form, so we were the biggest 6th form there had been at the school, and due to the fact we were of the age where we got cars this left a problem with parking at the school. In order for the teachers to be able to get priority of students in the car park, the school made an agreement with the local football club for 6th formers to be able to park there, (approx 7 min walk away) which for some reason outraged a lot of the 6th form. This was spearheaded by the lass from the US, who didn't even drive, had been at the school less than a year, and got a story in the local paper that made it look like discrimination and made the school look bad! She then started a petition to make the school build a new carpark so the students could use it... (Instead of, you know, bringing it up to the governors, or actually requesting one like normal people!)

This riled me... like seriously riled me! I couldn't stand the *****, and now she was making my school look bad, the school I was loyal to, and had a lot of fun on the media and arts side at... So I started my own petition anonymously, and used my position in the school to get a copy of it posted into every tutor group in the school, so that one day, just after lunch, all the tutor groups had a cover letter to read, and a petition to pass round, trying to send the US chick back out the school and back over the pond... Harsh... I know!

The thing was, the teachers hated her, and many of them took it seriously, and within a day around 60% of the classrooms had it up on the notice boards, and it had more sigs than the carpark petition! Obviously it also caused a lot of upset... Seriously a lot of upset, and eventually I owned up (which shocked a lot of people!) and I wrote an apology to be read out to all tutor groups...

The weird thing is, although it was a horrible thing to do, I am also quite proud of the effect I had, and it is what first introduced me to the power of PsyOps and Info Ops and the effects of influence, which I now use in my career!

Ka-Ching!

It seems weird that your school would condone xenophobic bullying. I wish I had gone to a school like that.

I once accidentally kneed down a cubicle wall in my school. I was getting out and my knee hit it, it's quite cramped, only for a suppourt to slant down. I'm glad it didn't fully fall over and make a noise >.>. A few hours I came back to see it closed. On the bright side it has been fixed, alongside with the lock <.<.
