| There's a book series and also a blog known as "PostSecrets". It's extremely good, people from all over the world will send in post cards/images/things they created with their own anonymous secret and it'll get posted on the blog or put into the book. It's so good that occasionally if you pick up a copy at a book store you'll find a receipt with someone's very own secret they hid in it. The first time I picked up a copy, someone wrote their secret on the back of a Taco Bell (or maybe it was Burger King...) receipt and stuck it randomly between the pages. It was pretty awesome. Here's a few examples from their blog: deja vuMore behind spoiler:
So.... Does anyone have any secrets they'd like to share? Or maybe their thoughts on the books/blogs? ^Has anyone else found a secret stuffed in a copy they've picked up?
I think it'd be fun if anyone here was interested in creating an image/secret here or if they just want to get something of their chest... words are good too. Only sorry anonymous posting can't be done here/on this thread... even if it could, unfortunately it'd probably get out of hand.
Here's one of mine...

Some times out of nowhere I'll smile randomly as my mind imagines fantasy and reality combining...
EDIT: I suppose... if you actually created your own image, posted it without explanation... no one would know if it was yours or if you got it off the website/archives/google... Just an idea. |

| Thanks to the sadist in me, my job as a body piercer has turned itself into a sexual vice for me as my customers squirm under my hand, and many come back for more.  |

| I used to lie in confession at primary school.
What? It's never been my thing anyway, and well, pretty much the only thing I got into trouble for was my bedroom being a pig-stye. |

| I love Post secret.
I am not even sure where this conviction will lead and I worry about this. |

| I actually have one that was sent to me when I was in college. I think it would qualify.
It's a very old post~card picturing a Victorian dressed lady lying asleep on a very elaborate monument much like one that's in one of the local cemeteries here. Standing behind her, looking down at her is a man. And someone had written across the the top, in the clouds, "I wonder if she dreams of me."

What if you go into another book store and place randoms into the books that are there. No connection.  |

| like I said in an earlier post, I found quite a bit of those things when I was hanging out at the mall alot... I have one I can't post even though I'm just dying too, lets just say it has something to do with something going in some frozen custard that shouldn't be there  _________________  |

| Looking at the Post Secret blog officially scarred me for life. That hoax "infected nipple" image that's been going around the Internet for some time was posted there. It is obviously photoshopped-duh. And I researched it on Snopes, obviously fake. It screams fake. Yet it is permanently burned into my retinas and my mind. Seeing that nastiness, fake or not in my mind's eye was all I could think of all day today and yesterday, so I have an aversion to the Post Secret blog now. |
