Doesnt' everyone? I'm not sure if the question is really "is there something about you that absolutely no one knows" then I'd have to say probably not. But I am also a very private person and do not tell the world my problems so I have a few secrets that very, very few people know about me.

I had a surprise 30th Birthday Party. They thew it the week before my actual Birthday so it was a complete surprise and the best part was that I wasn't ACTUALLY 30 yet!

Firebird- since you asked I rented out this big farm site- we have had parties there before. Jack is a local "Irishman" and turned his farm into a big destination place. There are like half a dozen out buildings, a huge cabin, hay wagon rides, zip lines, canoeing, tons of games and things for the kids to do, huge pit for a bonfire, etc. We rented it for the whole day on a Saturday in October. We'll be able to eat, drink, be merry, kids can play and do hayrides, and at night we can have a big bonfire. Have a guest list of around 100/150 when you add in co-workers, friends, relatives, etc. Plus I hire a lady to make him a big t-shirt quilt out of all of his frat party t-shirts that we have been hauling around our entire marriage.

That is AMAZING. You win the Good Wife Prize of 2012. Or at least my sound nomination.

Nothing really major. I once lied to my parents and said I was laid off from a job when i was actually fired, but this was a college job paying close to minimum wage. I don't think they'd care of I told them the truth now. That's about the worst of it.
Keeping secrets is a lot of effort, and lies usually just build into bigger lies. It's not a good way to live.
I'm a pretty boring person, no "I know what you did last summer" moments for me. Never done drugs, never got in trouble with the law, only been drunk once (on purpose just to see what it was like), and never been married to anyone so no reason to keep such secrets.
Of course, as Tina pointed out, if the question were rephrased "is there something about you that you'd never share with anyone" I'm sure all of us would say yes.

Hmm, other than some college stuff I didn't tell my folks at the time (and pretty tame stuff, at that) no, I don't have any secrets.
I am really probably the most boring person within at least 100 miles. Maybe even in the state.
I keep telling DH now that I'm in mid-life I've been having an urge to behave badly and get arrested. Not driving drunk or anything that could hurt anyone. More like stealing pieces of a local nativity scene at Christmas, sneaking in at night and stealing one piece at a time until I get caught.
I want to appear before the judge holding my big stolen plastic wise man and plead "guilty." I want a blurry picture of me on the front page of our tiny little weekly newspaper under the headline "The woman who stole Christmas."
That wouldn't be a secret, though. I'd want everyone to know. I'd put copies of the newspaper article in my Christmas cards.
First time in my life I wouldn't be boring, LOL.

We used to do that for milestone birthday parties. Like the time we put 40 flamingoes in the front yard to wish a dear friend HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Then we all stood around and waited for her to come out to get the newspaper!
