I find it funny, the things people will lie about. I am always amused by these things, even from myself. To make up an elaborate story, fabricating to the best of their ability, all in hopes of covering something so minutely important as to not even register on the "that was fucked up to lie about" scale. I am guilty of it as well, I know this, and I catch myself when I am about to and say to myself; "do you really need to lie about that?" And most the time the answer is no. You wanna know why? Because when it happens to people like me, when I am lied to, I tend to find out, and most the time, I get angry. Why do I get angry? Mostly not because they lied, although that is a part of it, but the reasons they lie are truly ridiculous. I sit there listening to them, listening to the bullshit pouring from their mouth, and think, "why not just tell me the truth, you would have so much less to remember." I try to reason it out from their perspective and think about all the reasons they would have to lie about such things When I finally get to all possible explanations I can come up with, I am angry that I had to do so because it shouldn't have had to happen in the first place, and the reasons are usually built around embarrassment, reasons of self consciousness and lack of balls to moxy up and say why they did whatever. Then I have to control myself because of my retalitory nature demanding a payment for the slight made against me. Then I must contemplate ending whatever relation with whomever lied to me because I have no desire to be around that for an extended amount of time, and then I must also controll the desire to prove to them that the lie, and whatever they lied about has proven totally ineffectual, I am after all a product of my childhood.
But then the reason kicks in and it says; "hey it was nothing, why are you sweating this?" I guess it's pride, and principal. Honestly I don't know why. Because once again, I know that I have done the same. Funny when you think about, and sad all at the same time.
Any way, enough with my rant. Something funny happened the othe day, I was taking out the trash and checking the mail, and something hit me, I forgot how much laundry costs at the apartments. I know that Dar and Shaun had offered thiers, but as I am short on the ol petrol I did not wish to make the trip. It was just funny, something I used to do on such a regular basis, had become foreign to me. Life is full of humor, you just have to be willing to see it.
