I was going to post a specific example of inter-dyad communication gone wonky, but then I remembered that I'd seen on the guy's myspace that he's a Jossverse fan. Figured I'd better not in case he's lurking. (Are you lurking?)

It's funny, 'cause I don't remember if he was in the fandom when we were friends. Am I responsible for it? I don't recall. Maybe I'm due a toaster and didn't even know it.

What if it ws like, soooper personal. Like, TMI girly stuff?

I'd honestly rather not know myself than be asked to keep it from DH. Even if it's something I probably wouldn't tell him anyway (like girly medical TMI details about a non-mutual friend), I wouldn't want to be put in a position where I *couldn't*.

I tend to not tell other people's secrets to Paul. Or tell them in general, if I'm made aware that it's an actual secret. Side effect, perhaps, of years under NDA.

Which, when I knew about Certain Friends' Baby News, involved MONTHS of tongue biting, because I really wanted to share it with someone, but it wasn't my news to share.

I usually tell TCG everything, and he usually forgets I told him.

I am a great secret keeper. Because I'm pretty gabby, people think I'm not, but I can keep secrets for years. I knew a friend had AIDS years before any of our mutual friends did and didn't reveal it until he did. In my present job, I know what every employee makes, details about their medical histories and secrets about theirfamily life and would never reveal them--not even to someone who didn't know them.

I usually don't tell Bob other people's secrets. Their relationships with me generally don't implicate him. But I could see how it would in longer-term relationships. And of course, there's tons of confidential stuff I deal with that I don't talk to him about.

Hey! Somehow I made it to the end of the work day without going crazy or falling asleep!

Yeah, more serious stuff, I can definitely keep, but I don't generally get asked to keep it from the SO.

And hah. I am just now going to work, but I suspect that I don't have a risk of falling asleep, since I'm going solo tonight while the SO's sick, and have a bevy of boys to teach. Or at least to keep from setting the building on fire with their guitars or anything.

I'm pretty sure this is not a secret, but still hilarious. I just got an email from a friend that opened "Ok, been on a conf call with Jay-Z's people (seriously)." Almost as good as the woman I know who is (one of) MCHammer's lawyers!

I keep secrets with ease, but will share with DH unless specifically told not to tell him. I have told him that I have information I can't share with him in the past and he was ok with that.
