Unfunny note: confession about Confessnaruto
Confessnaruto. I feel like it should be renamed Arbitrary Kind Of Dull Opinions About Naruto, or Stuff Teenagers For Some Reason Really Want You To Know They Think About Naruto Even Though It Is Totally Predictable, because most of what's on there seems like stuff you see posted ad infinitum on message boards. The kind of stuff you argue about with your friends over and over again, so much that your non-Naruto-fan friends could recite the whole argument verbatim.
I'm definitely not saying people should stop talking about Naruto — far from it; talk away, Naruto fans! Enjoy your fandomy goodness! — I'm just saying the blog's title seems like a misnomer. The blog is chock full of totally unembarrassing opinions that there's no reason to keep secret. But a confession should be something it kind of hurts to say, not something you want everyone to know. Something that you would hesitate to tell someone you just met ten minutes ago because you'd be afraid of how they'd react ... or even something you're not sure you want to tell your best friend, if it's crazy enough. Something that makes you want to remain anonymous because it's a lot more comfortable than putting your name on it.
I mean, I'd be much more interested in reading a blog full of things like:
Confession #5129: Some days I draw big red triangles on my face and carry a stuffed animal of a white dog with me everywhere. Any time anyone bothers me, I yell "GATSUUGA!" and peg them with the toy.
Confession #1041: I secretly think that Inoichi is the hottest guy in the whole Naruto universe, even though he is like 20 years older than me.
Confession #9926: Every time Itachi uses a genjutsu, I shriek a little, and my roommate looks at me like I'm soooooo stupid, but I can't help it.
Confession #8770: One day when I was messing around with fabric paint I drew a Konoha leaf on the waistband of every pair of underwear I own. It makes me feel irrationally better about myself every day to wear those underwear, because it's like carrying a little bit of the Will of Fire with me. But if anyone ever looks in my underwear drawer I will be completely mortified and probably burst into flame instantly.
...and I have to admit that when I first read the blog's name I got all excited 'cause I thought that was going to be what the blog was like. (Sad face.)
That said, carry on, Naruto fans and Confessnaruto. You're obviously enjoying yourselves, and who am I to spoil that?
This is just my own personal confession. ;) DONE.
