My Car (aka What Really Happened)

[the_wanlorn]

Okay, so this is what really happened, the stories that I didn't tell my parents. There are exactly three people whom I trust enough to not let it slip in front of my parents that I totally and completely lied to them. Which, allow me to point out, I only did so that I wouldn't get screamed at for something that wasn't my fault (or, well, okay, the first one was my fault, but it was minor damage so...) and so that I could retain the use of my car. On Wednesday I pulled into a parking space too fast and overshot it a bit and scraped against the bumper of the other car. And then (upon the advice of my super-cool friends) went and found a different parking space. :-D On Thursday, I was getting onto the highway. Right before the beginning of the highway part of 146 South, there's a 90 degree curve with stoplights at the end of it. Except you can't see the stoplights (whether they're red or green or whatever) until you're RIGHT THERE in front of them because they're angled sketchily and the bigass "146 SOUTH RIGHT HERE FOO" sign blocks them. The lights were red. The car ahead of me stopped. I stopped. The bigass TRUCK behind me did not stop. ::BAM:: ::whiplash:: ::Car rocks:: ::Nire freaks out and drives away and does not stop to get whatever the fuck she's supposed to get when you get hit by someone or you hit someone:: So I pulled into the Milbury Mall/Shopping Plaza and got out to check damage and my tail-light was busted. Then I realized that I couldn't tell Mum or Da what really happened cuz not only would I get screamed at because I was hit AND because I just drove off, but they would most likely decide that I didn't know how to drive and take away the car, AND somehow manage to pin the blame on me. So I concocted the parking-lot-while-I-was-in-class-or-something story. Which was very simple and easy to remember and impossibly to confirm. :-D So, yeah, that's the real story.

yay im special cuz i knew that!

argh i didnt realize it was just a few people u were telling. i kinda might have told jocelyn. and i implied it in a comment i left u yesterday. im sorry. but ill make sure she knows to keep it on the DL. and the comment doesnt really say anything...

i love stories that explain everything that exists seamlessly. how long did it take u to think that up? or did it just roll off your tounge?

It just rolled off my tongue cuz I lie to them a lot, so I'm kinda experienced at making up shit that can't be checked.

One time when I was 5 or 6, I stole a yoyo from Shaws and later on I was playing with it and Mum was like, "Where'd you get that yoyo?" and I was like, "I bought it" and she was like, "Then lemme see the receipt" and I was like, oh shit, now what oh I know the XtraMart doesn't give out receipts so I'll just say I bought it in there while I was getting milk for her this morning. And I did. And she couldn't verify whether I was lying or not, so I got off scot free. :-)

you were 5 or 6 and were adept at stealing from shaws were able to evade your mothers inquirys because you knew XtraMart didn't give receipts? and you were 5 or 6? you amaze and frighten me, my dear.

Hey, I'll have you know that somewhere around the middle of last year I decided to use my powers for good instead of evil.

And I was a very observant little kid. And people at Shaws are stupid. And no one pays attention to little kids.

But I stopped doing shit like that when I was 10 cuz it just got too risky, what with more surveillance and all that.
