I mentioned the PostSecret site elsewhere, but I think it deserves its own thread. It's "an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard," and I've now made somewhat of a habit out of reading the new secrets that are posted each Sunday. Maybe some of them are fake, maybe some are too extreme to even want to read, maybe it just satisfies the curiosity in its readers, but there's also the emotional effect it seems to have on people. Every so often, I'll read one that really hits home for me, or just gives me such a strong reaction, or sometimes it's just really cute, but I've started saving my favorites since there doesn't seem to be a full archive of them. I wanted to share them here, and maybe some of you will start following the site. Also, I thought, maybe you'll want to share your own secrets. There, or even here. I found an old thread that Fame had started, called "Reveal your darkest secret"...I thought it was brave of him to share his own, and I still don't know if I could share a real secret. But I guess PostSecret gives you the chance to anonymously shout one from the rooftops by way of the Internet.  ----------------------------

TIS, the singing in the car one was actually very accurate for me...I've done that on multiple occasions, where I get really into a song, then suddenly consider that someone might be watching me from the backseat - sort of like "The Hitch-Hiker" on the Twilight Zone.  SB, when I throw away my disposable lenses, I'm usually just amused by how they look when they dry up, or something silly like that - isn't this a much better perspective? LN, I heard about the secrets being in the books! That's really cool you found one. I kept thinking I'd find an archive somewhere, but when I realized I probably wouldn't, I started saving the ones I like. I wish they posted them all. I found this on Wikipedia: The website does not provide any way to go through archives and view old posts.
However, due to Google Reader's RSS caching, one can go back through previous secrets by subscribing to the PostSecret feed using Google Reader.
In addition, the postsecret community on Livejournal enables you to scroll back through previous journal entries to view older posts from postsecret's Sunday Secrets collection. This can only be done by searching directly through postsecret's Livejournal page, and only allows you to view the last 4 entries, as viewing of any posts older than this has been disabled.
