Yikes. Remember the blog, PostSecret?
Edited on Fri Dec-23-05 09:26 PM by BlueIris
We've discussed this website in the Lounge before, I think. It's an ongoing art project run by this guy named Frank Warren, who collects post-card confessions from people around the world and puts them up on a blog. He's accrued thousands, and recently put them into a book that just went on sale. I guess I shouldn't be shocked by what happened, but--one of the many post-cards I've sent to Mr. Warren got selected for the book. Actually, it was also once picked for the "extra" secret printed in the Washington Times each week, in addition to the regular secrets he puts up every Sunday. And finally, my secret is now one of the ones featured in the Amazon.com "preview" of the PostSecret book. It's really weird to think that my secret has now been seen by thousands and thousands of people. I guess I should be glad it's one of the more positive things I've sent to that site. (He's put up three of my secrets in total--two of which were important for me to confess, something I've told him via e-mail, but ones I think I would feel really uncomfortable seeing on Amazon.) Now I think I'll have to get the book to see if he published either of my other ones.
