Everyone in my high school thought I was on drugs. Because a girl with short dyed black hair who wore black pants, black boots, white shirts and vintage suit jackets was a really unusual sight back then. The reality was that I wasn't the slightest bit interested in drugs. My metalhead friend, on the other hand, got…
I tell the same lie weekly, if not daily. "There is nothing to panic about right now." I have quite a few patients that suffer from anxiety. It tends to calm people who are in a spin of panic, and they can't focus. I know good and goddamned well that they may very well actually have something going on that is worthy…
I, too, had ridiculously strict parents (or, well, a strict mother) although it doesn't reach the level of yours. I used to sneak downstairs late at night to watch Gundam Wing on Cartoon Network, because the nighttime re-run of the day's episode didn't have the (minor instances of) blood edited out. One time my mother…
This is the worst one. The worst lie.
Here's the biggest lie/deception that I ever perpetuated on my parents ...
This is a lie of self-defense that I wish I had been smart/quiet enough to go with when I was younger. When I was 16 I told my mother this, and she hounded the shit out of me at every opportunity for the next two years. She herself is only the most negligibly Christian (doesn't read the Bible, doesn't go to church,…
To be fair, I commute from Maryland past DC into Virginia. We do crazy things for money.
I tell people I legally changed my name because I don't feel like people respect "just call me this!" but I've been going by it since I was 13. And when people ask "But is it LEGALLY that?" I feel like they're trying to call my bluff so I say "FUCK YES IT IS." So probably my biggest lie is my name. (It's close enough…
This is a lie I THOUGHT I got away with. The summer before third grade my two best friends and I liked to ride around our neighborhood, which was being built, and explore. One afternoon we were exploring a house which had the frame up but not much else. Obviously this was dangerous and expressly forbidden. Exploring…
When I was 13, my parents were on their way home from Vegas and wouldn't be back until after 4:00 AM. My brother, who was 17, knew he would be in trouble when they got home, because he had crashed my mom's car when they were gone. He decided to go out on his last night of freedom, and I stayed home. A couple of his…
When I was in high school, I had a best friend named Christine. One time, we went to the beach and on the way back we stopped at our favorite coffee shop to see our friends that hung out there. I had to get home by a certain time and she had driven, but she didn't want to leave so I had to call my Mom to pick me up.…
Once, in a fit of drunken derring-do, at the height of Riverdance mania, I convinced an entire bar in France that I was an accomplished Irish step dancer. I've never taken a lesson in my life.
In all seriousness, my aunt (who is now a Buddhist nun) was the woman in the Woodstock doc picking up trash whilst Hendrix practiced the Star Spangle Banner.
I was in my early 20's and seriously lacking in the judgment department. I spent the night at a friend's party drinking beer and getting high. Around 4am, I decided that I wanted to go home, and that I was sober enough to drive my car home the 3/4 of a mile to my house on residential roads. When I was at the final…
When I was in high school we were planning to move to another province so my parents left me home alone for over a week while they went house hunting, at the same time the family car had been wrecked before my parents trip and the insurance paid Kia rental was still in the drive way. I couldn't drive and naturally my…
I JUST SAW THAT YOU CHANGED YOUR ICON AND I AM BOTH IN LOVE WITH YOU AND ALSO VERY AFRAID.
Wow Blue Ivy really looks like Shawn Carter.
I agree. Personally, I would believe that Jay-Z is into Rih and she is not having it...and that pisses off Bey even more.
