Everybody knows it, or at least they should.
My little brother and I recently pulled a belated April Fool's joke on a few unsuspecting people. We tried to get as many people as we could to believe that we had gotten into car accidents and now had amnesia. Funny, right? Apparently not. I got around to telling people the same day that I was only kidding because I had made one of my best friends feel really bad. I wanted to tell her on the phone but seeing that she was so hurt I couldn't say anything. I wanted to wait until she was a little more relaxed. Then the phone calls started coming. Basically I was chewed out for nearly 2 hours because of this prank that I pulled. It was wrong I know. But on my behalf, it's not the first time I've done something like this. I told my mom about it and this is was she said, verbatum, "Either their a bunch of freaking idiots or they just don't know you Daniel. They'll get over it." Mind you, it sounds cold but she was laughing at it so she didn't say it spitefully or anything. She said I was a jerk though for making people cry. This is from the woman that last April Fool's I had convinced for an hour on the phone that I had Herpes...
So here's a list of a few things that I've told people in the past and how long I kept the lie up:
-My house has termites so I have to move out of state (2 weeks)
-My little brother got hit by a bus on his bike (3 days)
-(To my Mom) I have Herpes (1 hour)
-I was cousins with a girl (we didn't want people to know we were hooking up) (1 year)
-Pretended to go out with a girl for a week so she would leave me alone (1 week)
-There's a girl in Rochester who still thinks I go to that school (1 year and counting)
And there's definately more, but the point is, citing these examples, sometimes I just don't think how it will affect other people when I come up with these ridiculous stories. Although I have gotten better, it used to be where everyother sentence out of my mouth was some outlandish lie. I think I do it just to see how much people will believe.
To the people that I seriously hurt this time, I'm really, really sorry. I don't know how but I will try my best to make things up and try and get you to not hate me anymore. I think this time I really might have gone overboard and it's taught me that maybe I shouldn't be pulling this kind of shit anymore. I'm really gonna put an effort into trying to stop with the stories and all the lies. If you think I'm lying about something, call me out. Remind me that I'm an asshole. I'll feel like shit and apologize.
Again, I regret hurting anyone, it really wasn't my intention.
Please forgive me.
