NoJoMo Entry 6 in Torridaussity Two

The biggest lie I ever told was.....this is hard, I am not a big liar so I will just say a few smaller ones.
1. When I was younger I left the house to hang out with my friend next door and we went down to the local hotel to swim and were gone for hours and my parents didn’t know where I was and I can’t even remember what lie I conjured up, but it worked to lessen the punishment.
2. I am not sure I ever lied to anyone about this I just never said anything in college my roommate was obsessed with a guy I really liked and I never said how I felt because she “claimed” him first so to speak. So I never told anyone how I felt, years later he lived about an hour from me and he came to a party and we made out lol so I got the last laugh she got nothing at all.
3. While studying in Germany I was always the mother of the group we would go out frequently drinking and lots of them would be drunk and I would take care of them, well one night I lied and acted as if I was drunk, I am a pretty good actress. Everyone was convinced I was drunk and instead of being cool about it, they were all like you need to stop drinking you can’t do this blah blah blah and then I let them all know I wasn’t drunk and how nice it was that instead of helping me or taking care of me all I got was lectured.
4. I lied once when again a different roommate claimed another guy when she got mad that I defended him, he was innocent and she was pissed that didn’t make her right, well she asked me if I was interested, I lied, I said I wasn’t, but I was totally smitten and to be honest to this day if he ever said he had feelings for me I would say yes in a heartbeat.

I lie to avoid anger from others, I lie to avoid heartache for myself, I lie to avoid hurting others and in the process hurt myself.
