Things I will not admit, even when pressed

I play air-guitar. Very badly.
I sometimes wear the same socks two days running because I'm too lazy to find a matching pair.
I've been drunk six out of the last ten nights, and it hasn't helped numb me any.
I really don't care if Linux is better than Windows.
Just how much my father leaving screwed me up emotionally
That the shoes I'm wearing have never fit me properly, and are probably doing permanent harm to my feet, but I'm far too lazy to go out and buy another pair until these finish falling apart.
When I hold a grudge (as rare as that is)
I used to imagine tragedies in my past, just so I could feel more justified at being depressed.
The most embarrassing moment of my life - the ridicule I received after the first time I ever went to a party, when I was still in school, and spent half of it following some girl around like a puppy-dog.
How much I resent my brother

Things I Will Admit When Pressed

I am addicted to the Internet
That I am really bad at remembering names, and too scared of making a fool of myself, so even when I've got a pretty good idea what your name is, I'll avoid using it unless I'm 150% sure.
I need to eat less, and exercise more.
How much I love my brother.
That I own a copy of The Phantom Menace on DVD, even though I thought the movie sucked when I saw it in the cinema. That I own the CD Definately Maybe by Oasis. It was a gift from my mother and I've never listened to it. That I have very little will-power.
That one significant reason I'm the hermit I am today is because I hung around with people from school who I disliked for the first year of University. It was more convenient than having to find friends of my own, and more socially acceptable than joining the computer club.
Who I happen to be in love with, if it's not you. (if it's you, you'll know already)
I'm far more of a materialist than I admit to myself.
Just how upset I am.
That I would have taken far more illegal drugs when I was a student if I'd had the faintest idea how to get hold of them.
That I have a bad habit of trying to manipulate my friends.
That I am plagued with an inability to complete software projects.

True Things I Will Admit to Divert Attention from the Previous Two Categories

I enjoy watching Temptation Island, and Big Brother, but not Survivor.
I was once sitting in a pub talking to two very attractive girls, and a guy came up and hit on me.
I drink far too much coke, and eat too much takeaway food.
I dropped out of university twice, because I was too lazy to do any of the work or show up to lectures. They sent me a letter asking me not to come back, but I lost it.
My collection of amusing "why I was dumped by girlfriend X" stories.
I am plagued by a constant belief that I am not good enough, and that sooner or later someone is going to discover my fraud and fire me/dump me/laugh at me.
When there's the slightest possibility that something may be my fault.
That both Libertarianism and Communism are examples of someone taking good ideas (personal and social responsibility) to their logical extreme, and thus making them completely nonsensical.
That I find Willow more attractive than Buffy, although not so much now that she's a lesbian.
I'm not nearly as good at pool as I say I am.
That I'm no longer ashamed of being a computer nerd.
That I need to read more good, literary books.
