You could not pay me enough to try Skeleton. There are some crazy adventures that just might be worth the risk. The amazing view and release of free fall you get with skydiving. The sense of physical accomplishment at the end of the tough rock climb. Even the exhilaration of rushing down a breathtaking mountain on a snowboard. But speeding face first down what is essentially a frozen-over water slide? I can't really see the benefit. Do you?
Today's bonus prize comes from an author who happens to share my fabulous editor, so you know it has to be good: TMI by Sarah Quigley. Here is the blurb:
Friends call Becca the Overshare Queen, but her tendency for TMI never seemed like a problem to her until she blabs about her sweet band-geek boyfriend's sloppy kisses--and gets dumped! Realizing it may be better to resist the temptation to overshare face-to-face, Becca decides to blog anonymously about everything instead. On her blog, Too Much Information, Becca unleashes her alter ego, Bella. Bella tells it like it is . . . though perhaps with a bit more drama. After all, no one's going to read it, right???
I think we can all guess that someone is going to read that blog....
And to enter today's contest, tell me whether you tend to dish TMI or if you keep your thoughts and feelings close to the vest. Answer in comments for your chance to win Oh. My. Gods. and Goddess Boot Camp and TMI.

I am a pretty private person so I tend to keep a lot to myself.
I often overshare, but I'm working on that. ^_^
I overshare when I'm with close friends (where oversharing seems the norm of sharing, also known as gossiping) but clam up other times. No crow bars may pry my lips apart!
I'm a private person for sure.
I agree with you about skeleton...so freaky!
I usually keep my lips sealed. I don't ever want to hurt someone's feelings by blabbing about them.
I tend to keep my thoughts and feelings close to the vest. I am a shy and private person.
I keep most TMI worthy stuff to myself. Unlike SOME people I know (aka my BFF, Abby) who insists on telling us every piece of crazy unnessicary information. Actually, I'm usually the one saying "OK to much info." But I personally try to avoid those TMI moments all together.
To be honest, it depends on who I'm talking to and what I'm talking about... in general, I'm quite a private person but I also have a tendecy to ramble when I get talking so if I really trust someone and I start talking to them about something then I don't know when to shut up (but that doesn't happen often - actually it's only happened a handful of times, I'm a shy person and kind of have trouble trusting people with things about myself).
I can share with really close friends, but sometimes it makes me uncomfortable, so I choose not to, but I will always make sure I know who I am telling this stuff to..
I overshare only with my bffs and no one else. I have friends far away and I seriously overshare with them since I haven't seen them in such a long time!
I have a feeling I overshare but only with some things and only with the people really close to me. =]
Skeleton = crazy
I keep my mouth shut tight when it comes to things, I keep my cards close ;)
I think the skeleton looks super extreme amazing and I would totally be up for it...probably until I got all the way to the top, and then I would be freaked out of my mind, which happened when I tried jumping off the high dive as a kid. but hey, you're wearing padding and a helmet, right? no worries.
as for tmi...I am an information hoarder, i LOVE to hear everybody's secrets, but I would only ever share something if it was one of my closest girls
I tend to over share, but only with people really close to me.
I definitely do not have a problem with giving out too much information. If anything, I tend to understate things like emotions or someone else's behavior.
Definitely close to the vest. I keep my emotions inside a lot.
Ummm yes. My lips are sealed all the way.
Do you overshare or are your lips sealed?
I usually keep my mouth shot! When it's about other people though, I gossip a lot ;) hehe
I've never heard of skeleton before but that sounds mad scary. Definitely NOT on my to do list.
I keep my mouth shout. I don't gossip a lot, but it's only cause I don't want it to come back and bite my in the butt. Truthfully, I LOVE to know what's going on with everyone but I'd rather not know than be caught up in some messy high school drama.
I'm definately a private person. I don't even let people know if I'm hurt, sick, etc until the pain, sickness, etc is unbareable. I don't really like taling bout me. I like listening to my friends talk and just worry alone or complain alone etc in the silent privacy of my mind.
Do you overshare or are your lips sealed?
Mi lips are sealed... I don't like to share my things. At young I learn that something aren't meant for everyone to know.
My lips stay sealed... At my school blood will spill the moment you spill someone else's secret.
Oh yeah, some girls at my school are real witches.
Love, Hannah
when it comes to talking at school or with friends, i'm as talkative as a hamster cowering in the corner of a cage...when i'm with my parents, they can't get me to shut up! i tell them TMI all the time...i need to work on that.
I'm super talkitive. I tend to tell long detailed stories that sound interesting in my head, but no one actually wants to hear. I honestly don't know how anyone can stand me, but my friends tell me it's cute? Ha.
But, when it comes to secrets, I take those to the grave. I may talk alot, but never is it someones secrets, or my own feelings. I'm like a stone, you'll never see me cry, no matter how badly I want to. You can't survive in this world if you show any emotion.
I'm a pretty quiet person, so my lips are sealed. :)
Lips are mainly sealed. :)
Usually, I only tell my closest friend! If I tell anyone.
I keep almost all my thoughts to myself. I'm a great listener though :-)
I enjoy gossip and talk just like most people. However, when I am asked to keep a secret, I don't tell ANYONE!! I keep my mouth shut then.

I am good at keeping secrets. That's why a lot of people tell me things :D

I tend to over-share and can be a bit of a talker. I never share a secret that someone has asked me not to share.

My lips are always sealed when it comes to secrets or important information!

Most of the time, my lips are sealed. I share but I don't think I overshare. :)
I generally talk to much, but not about personal, intimate stuff or secrets. Sometimes I even feel like I don't share enough.
I don't know, I talk a lot in my home and yeah I share a lot with my friends too, but in general my lips are sealed.

I tend to keep things very private.
I am definitely a secret keeper :)
I'm extremely chatty (nicknamed Chatterbox) and so I'm convinced I over-share.
But then a couple of days ago I'm talking with a woman a consider a close friend and I realise she was totally unaware of something important that happened in my life. It's not something even particularly secret
I think once I get chatting I frequently over-share about trivia or my opinions but not about important stuff
i keep things personal and intimate to myself.
Im very careful about who i share information with. If i trust you, you know everything...if i know youre not trustworthy, ill be nice to you, but youre definately not going to know anything personal about my life. im seclusive that way....=/
Skeleton? Even the name gives me the creeps!
My lips are sealed, but when temptation strikes...*shrugs*
I keep things to myself.
I am horrible at keeping secrets. Unless it is super super confidential, I then to tell but only to a really close friend and my cousin who I like to tell everything about my life.
I tend to keep things to myself, because I don't quite trust my friends to keep it a secret. I do tell a little here and there to my friends but never the full story. =P
I think I would say I keep things close to my chest. I'm not really the type of person who keeps secrets, but I know when there are things people just don't need to know.
Um, my husband tells me all the time that it's ok to not overshare...maybe I should be crowned queen for a day...
I'm usually a lips sealed kind of person. But sometimes I'll definitely share a lot more with someone if I think they can benefit from hearing about my own mistakes.
I guess I overshare - possibly not a good thing :)
I'm more of a private type of person, so not a lot of sharing on my part (be it me myself or my friend's trusted secrets). Guess there's always a slightly negative side to everything, mostly the former.
My lips are definately seeled - I'm not one to tell people too much.
Haha, usually I'd say I'm pretty MLAS. :)
Hmmm....tough one!
But I do keep my lips sealed....most of the time!

I'm a pretty talkative person, but if something is really important and private about me or someone else I'll keep my lips sealed nice and tight.
I think it depends on the situation. But generally I am very talkative unless the situation requires secrecy.
I am a total open book! When I feel comfortable with you, I dont care what comes out of my mouth, although sometimes I think oh, maybe I shouldnt have said that...but Im not one to hold back what Im thinking.
I am a very honest person, and I definitely tell it like it is, but I don't blab everything that comes into my mind, or everything/anything that someone tells me. Some things are just better when they're kept to yourself. But once I know something, my lips are sealed.
I am the kind of person who tends to keep things close and not tell others about them. Now there are somethings that I just have to tell other people about but usually I am a very reserved person.
I tend to call myself contradictory because I don't exactly stick to one characteristic in every action. For the most part, I'm a very private person. In fact I am currently going through a process of letting myself open up. However, that only applies to topics centered around me. If it's about someone else, my friends tell me that I can sometimes be brutally honest. I don't just go around and talk to everyone about everything though.
