no no no no, don't lie

what a day. or half a day since i slept part of it away.
last night was dinner at the church for the graduating seniors, (my sister). there was a slideshow and it was funny to see some of the pictures of my sister that i hadn't seen in forever. i was in there a few times with her, man i miss those huge glasses, my perm, and that awesome retainer.....
oh and i decided that if i don't find a job my sister and i will take our tap shoes and hit the road, like the andrews sisters, only we'll be sisters from andrews....

i got really sick last night. NOT pleasant. i took some phenergen to keep me from getting sick again and it knocked me out, but i woke up with one of those medicine hangovers.

lying sucks (i'm sooooo verbose huh?). and we are all guilty i believe.
although, i guess there is a chance of someone out there living who has never told anything even closely resembling a lie.
is not telling the whole truth a lie too? i mean not telling everything?
we talked about the nature of "lying" in the linguistics class i took last year, and "what is a lie?" was the topic for discussion one day.
interesting to hear what people had to say about what exactly defines a lie, and the difference between that and an "untruth" or simply being "mislead."
we talked about this for 45 minutes at least, no joke.
i am incredibly trusting, so when it comes around (which it nearly always does, i mean come on, it does) that someone has lied, it huuuuuuuuuurts.
i want to trust, i hate feeling jaded in that sense.
it hurts worse when they lie to your face, becuase they looked you in the eye. (eye contact=huge for me)
especially when they expect you to trust them and want you to trust them.
but how in the world can you trust them if you know they are lying?
even worse when you know they are lying and they know they are lying, but they don't know you know they are lying.
ewwwwwwww.
not cool man, not cool.

i've had a few experiences with this, they are always unpleasant.
even though i'm really trusting, i have found myself sussing out lies pretty easily.
even worse, i'm one of those people that will ask you about it or i will choose not to say anything at all.
either way is messy, but turns out okay.
always guaranteed to be painful though.
i just like honesty and forthrightness, becuase that is what i try to give, thats what i want to give.
when push comes to shove, i would just like for people to try the same in return.
i was listening to the black-eyed peas and they sing about lying so i thought i'd write about it.

i feel a second installment of "what i like" coming on soon. anyways, mi casita for dinner tonight. then just ratting around, what i freaking do best.
lets have a dance party.

p.s. anyone want to help me rearrange furniture?????

Watching: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
