Having undertaken contract work for central government in the past, I'm subject to the UK Official Secrets act for life
I'm also subject to several non disclosure agreements (including Apple's) and my employment contract obligates me to maintain clients' confidentiality and trade secrets.
In my personal life, I have no secrets from my wife, but I tend to keep my personal and professional lives separate so I guess you could say I keep secrets about my family to anyone who is not part of my family
 
I absolutely LOATHE people who don't have a 100% supply of common sense.

..........

I'm a diehard republican!

So have you been watching the GOP debates?:confused:



I don't really have any big secrets. I mean, there is info that I don't share here in these forums (what I do for a living, my name, etc), but I wouldn't classify any of that as a secret.

I guess my biggest secret is that I cheat on my wife when she goes out of town......and when I say "cheat", I mean that I eat junky food.:p:D Fortunately for my health, she only goes out of town for a few days once every 5-6 weeks. Anyone want to meet me at In & Out for lunch at the end of the month?
 
I don't really keep secrets, other than a few details about my rather hedonistic lifestyle that my father doesn't really need to know I'm pretty much open about everything.

Oh, and, I guess in a way I keep the fact that I'm a post-op transsexual secret to a bunch of people, though that's just because announcing it to every new acquaintance of mine would be tedious, the same with my bisexuality really. I've been with my girlfriend my entire adult life so everyone assumes I'm lesbian and I'm ok with this as it curbs unwanted male attention.

I've always felt that it's incredibly liberating to be entirely open to my inner circle, to really know that they like me for who I really am, warts and all.
 
I feel like it is easier for me to talk about my "secret" online than to my closest of friends. Although I am not going to reveal my secret, I am going to explain why I have kept it for so long. Very few know my secret, in fact they might have forgotten it already. But I've kept this secret since my childhood, I've been so ashamed of it and I think it would kill me if any of my closest friends/family would ever find out.

I guess what I fear the most is that if people were to find out about my secret, they would completely think of me differently and I wouldn't be the person I am anymore through their eyes. I've done many things in my life, I'm 24 now, I've done alot of things the majority of my age group would have never done. I've killed, I've caused physical pain to someone's loved ones, I've lied to those dearest to me, I'm suffering through a disorder that until now has no cure. I was in the Military.

I have no problems talking about those things that I have done, but this secret I will forever hold until I die.
 
Loads of work related secrets. I'm a walking mystery of personal secrets to my family and most friends.
Only the girlfriend knows all. But even then I won't tell her what she's getting for Christmas.
 
I have a secret crush on Jordana Brewster. But, gosh darn it all, now I have to go find another celebrity crush to keep secret!

She'll be on USA Network in an hour and twenty minutes. Enjoy.

I thought I was the only one. I've had a crush on her since she was in the mini-series The 60's.

You, sir, have fine taste.

See my Avatar: D.E.B.S. is the best movie ever.

Edit: Actually she's not in that picture...but she's in the flick.

*she plays a lesbian*
 
Well, now she is even hotter.:D

I'll have to see what that movie is all about.....

It's actually a really good movie. It's really funny and the ladies are hot. You really can't go wrong.

And to be a card carrying lesbian, you have to be a D.E.B. or make your date go as a D.E.B. to at least 1 Halloween party in your life.

I met Sara Foster at Whole Foods last year. We chatted for a while. She's very nice.

Wow, tough stuff friend. Thanks for sharing. I, and I'm sure lots of others, can relate to a lot of what you are saying. There are things in my past that I can't help but feel would change people's view of me.
 
Actually, I'm pretty open. No real big secrets. Only thing I can think of is not telling my parents I was getting married after graduation from college. But, that didn't happen, so I guess it's not really a secret.

About the only real secrets I have are pertaining to my friends. I could really screw them over if I wanted to. But, never will.
 
More secrets than i care to count, pretty much all professional and all bound by law to remain "secret".

Pfff... i hate my job...
