Being a confidant

What do you do when one friend tells you something and tells you not to tell anyone else, and then another friend tells you pretty much the exact same thing and tells you not to tell anyone else? Simple. You write about it in the vaguest way possible on a blog that nobody reads, even though you have told both of then about the blog, because you are so dead sure that they still have not nor will ever read it at all. Sometimes the general disinterest people have toward life can be used to one's advantage.

So friend A tells me he knows person B who has divulged to him thing X. He calls me and tells me thing X but he says that he cannot reveal person B. I say okay. Then friend C calls me and tells me thing X. I ask him where he got his info, and then he says friend A. I say okay, trying to act like I didn't already know. Then friend A calls me back and tells me thing Y and Z, and reveals the identity of person B, and I'm all "oh, okay", trying not to act surprised. I'm sworn to secrecy as usual, firstborn sacrificed if I tell, the usual blood oath type stuff. Then friend C gets on the horn to me and tells me he was talking to someone and that someone revealed things X and Y, and that's when he realized the identity of person B from whom friend A was telling him all those things!!! Once again i act surprised, and ignorant, and here's the annoying part; since I'm a confidant for both these people (for some reason they trust me, dont ask me why) i have to swear a whole separate spit shake blood oath with friend B not to tell anyone about anything. I consider this an amazing exercise in keeping my mouth shut, which apparently is a virtue and a highly-prozed skill in today's world. It's still okay to blab about it on a blog though, especially since, the way i went about it, it's highly likely that neither of those people would even understand this post if they read it.
