I've Got A Story

RE: June 2, 2008 --- With you, I am opening myself to the very real possibility of having my heart broken...

E-mail to codeblued@gmail.com :

Damn, damn, damn. I think I open myself up to heartbreak TOO OFTEN. That's precisely the problem.

I hate it because it feels like the "when's" and "if's" always blur whenever I like someone. It's difficult to deal. I really wish I could control myself more.

What is real, and what is not?

Last week's secrets:

1. Pretty good week today, as secrets are trickling in once more. As a result, I'm able to post this new set on time, and there are even 11 of them! :) Hope you keep sending in your secrets to codeblued@gmail.com so that there will always be new secrets every week. :D

2. CodeBlued has reached people in unlikely places. This has led me to believe that while CodeBlued is increasing in popularity, not enough people are sending in their secrets. Don't be afraid to e-mail! :) Any secret --- from the pettiest to the most serious --- is alright, and any design will do as well! If not, you can send in your secret as a plain text file, and I can make it for you. :)

3. Beautiful art this week. As always, personally love some of the secrets. :) Enjoy!

I've Got A Story

RE: June 2, 2008 --- My Eyes Drink Greedily The Sight Of You


E-mail to codeblued@gmail.com :

Dear CodeBlued,

I made this secret a few weeks ago with someone in mind. Now that I read this secret again, I realize that it's now meant for someone else. I guess that person's my new secret now. Of course, I still enjoy looking at the person this was originally meant for. But I realize that hey, some secrets are meant for a lot of people.

You're my secret ... you just don't know it.

Thanks CodeBlued! Hope to see more secrets, and more power to your site!

Last, last week's secrets:

1. It's been two weeks since the last set of secrets. It's getting harder and harder to post weekly! :( Please, continue sending in your secrets, stories and questions weekly so there will always be content for this site. codeblued@gmail.com :D

2. In the first few weeks of CodeBlued, I floated the idea of sending in actual postcards. So far, I haven't received any, but it's not too late to start that trend! :D Make a secret on an actual 4X6 postcard, and send it in! E-mail me at codeblued@gmail.com so we can settle meet-ups. :)

3. Enjoy this week's set of secrets. I personally really like some of them. :)

I've Got A Story

RE: May 19, 2008 --- Being A Bitch Is Hard!

E-mail to codeblued@gmail.com :

Dear CodeBlued,

Being a bitch is hard, especially if you're not one by nature. But these past few weeks, I've come to realize that sometimes, being that bitchy, party, fun-loving girl is the only escape you've got. I've friends who live this kind of life -- partying, having fun, always up for anything, meeting different guys without exerting too much focus on a particular one. It doesn't work, I thought. It won't work. Then, just like that, the truth finally sinks in. My way doesn't work too. Don't get me wrong. There's nothing good about being a bitch. It's just that, this way, I get to have fun with more people, meet more guys. Or at least live in that fantasy where I'm not stuck right here, right now, hurting.

Ask Code Blued!

Q: Where did you get the idea for your site?

CodeBlued: There's another secrets site on the web, www.postsecret.blogspot.com , and it's simply fabulous! My first encounter with Postsecret was when I saw one of its book of secrets that my friend bought. I loved it right away! Then I thought of making a local version, so we could also submit secrets. After all, we all have secrets, so why not create an avenue for expression as well? :)

* * *

Last, last week's secrets:

1. My internet broke down for a few days, but it's up and running, so CodeBlued is also back on its feet! As always, keep submitting your stories, questions and secrets to codeblued@gmail.com ! Whatever happens, someone will read what you have to share, so just send away! :)

2. We reached 1000 hits last week! As of this posting, we're up to 1200 visits! :D Hooray! Please keep telling people about CodeBlued so we can keep this site alive. :)

3. Got a secret but can't make it? Send it to codeblued@gmail.com as a normal text file, and I'll make it for you! :)
