This is a question that I have been pondering about for a while. Please give me your opinion on this question.

When you tell your family that you don't like somebody, and you have almost completely deluded yourself into thinking that you don't, but you know deep down inside you do like them. Does that count as lying to yourself, and others?

    I guess it just depends on why you're saying you don't like them... :S Are they the kind of person you don't usually like? Do you just not want people to find out, because you want it to be a secret? (I had a lot of secret crushes that I would say I didn't like because maybe they weren't "cool" enough for my friends or something). I don't see it as a "lie", but maybe just a little white lie, and it's not one that's hurting anyone... That's kinda a toughie!

    It's not as if I'm saying mean things about this person.

    There is nothing wrong with pretending something doesn't exist. It's as I always say, "Ignorance is bliss!".

    Plus, lying is bad, but you aren't obligated to tell everyone everything you are thinking. Besides lying about liking someone doesn't even count as really lying.

    PS: Who is it? >:)

    Hmmm, that is a toughy. Are you meaning you don't "like" them...like "like like" or just in general? Because that would be soooo different. Clarify before I give my answer, I don't want to sound foolish haha!

    It sounds to me like you're talking about a boy. If that is the case, it makes sense to pretend you don't like him, because you might be feeling too embarrassed or shy to admit that you really DO like him! As for telling YOURSELF you don't like him when deep down inside you know you really do...well, maybe that is to protect yourself from possibly getting your feelings hurt. To me, those aren't REAL lies!

    Or I'm totally wrong about all that junk I just typed.

    If you're talking about something else, than I am totally and completely confused, because I'm foolish like that!

The stories behind my "emo" wear!

Belt: I bought the black "emo" belt a couple weekends ago. I was wearing my black outfit so I bought it. I love this one more than the old one. I mean come on, it's black! I finally found my old "emo" belt ! Shoes: These are my "emo" shoes!! We went to the park, and they got muddy! My poor shoes! In my eyes cleaning my shoes when they're dirty shows my affection. But my Mom says I'm gross. Nail polish: I have been looking for black nail polish since Halloween. We couldn't find any, anywhere we went! My Mom said that an "emo" convention probably came through town. Well I did notice a ton of people in "emo" wear. When my Mom came home from the store she revealed the wonders of black nail polish ! I painted my nails quickly before church, and then I put orange dots to look like flames. Um.. It didn't turn out very well. So that's the history behind my "emo" wear! Interesting stories right?

Freak secret...Toothbrush edition

As most of you know I'm completely and utterly obsessed with my teeth. But does anybody know why? Nope. But I'm going to write about it today. So then you can say,"Pshaw, I knew that a long time ago. That's so old news." Do want to be able to say that? If you do read on.... The disgusting reason why I'm obsessed..... .. Last year when I went to Girls Camp I made list after list of things to bring. After all my preparing, and craziness I forgot to list an very important essential. My toothbrush !!!! Of course when actually remembered it I was well on my way to camp. Needless to say I panicked. But sadly I couldn't do anything but worry. For the whole week I had to clean mouth with mouth wash! It was absolutely horrid. I was afraid to talk to anybody, in fear that they would comment on my breath, or die because it was so bad. I was so thankful when my secret sister gave me mint gum. The moment I got home I made a solemn promise that I would never do that

Thank you for this award Brynn. It's awesome. I would like to give this to Whitney, Cam, Sister Face, and Lauren. One of Buster's all time favorite movies is Nacho Libre . I was not there the first time he watched it, so of course I got stuck listening to his interpretation of the movie, phony accent, and everything! After what it seemed like hours he finally stopped to breathe, and then he asked,"Sunbum, do you know what they got paid with when they won the competitions?" "No, I don't. But I'm sure that you'll tell me anyway," I replied. Unfazed by my negativity he jumped up and said,"Pretzels!" I fell over in surprise, and then I thought,"Wow! Those guys must really like pretzels! I wouldn't fight anybody for 10,000 pretzels! I don't even like pretzels!" A couple days later I decided to watch the movie to find out if it was true. As it turns out they got paid in pesos, not pretzels!...... I was pretty disappointe
