Love Smart: Period 2, Week 5

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

Lies. The foundation of every good friendship or romantic relationship. Lies are the little things like whether you're a natural blonde or not, how many people you've slept with, or whether she looks fat in that dress. We all tell lies, don't even try to tell me you've never told a lie. Actually, do and I'll give you detention. Oh yeah!" He really would.

"Today I want you to tell lies. Simple lies. We're not trying to win an Oscar, just get through life with less stress. What's a normal, simple lie? Your name? Toothpaste choice? Career aspirations? Whether or not you cheated last weekend? Whether you think it should count as cheating. Something lame like that. GO!" Barney loved listening to the radio. Really.

Zack and Karal might be surprised if they noticed Barney didn't seem to be avoiding their gaze. It was as if the entire weekend hadn't happened for him. Of course it had, he was just very good at lying to himself. Such things happen when you're completely awesome and Bob Barker is your dad.

At the end of the period, Barney called for attention again. "Tonight is Homecoming. I'm sure all you attached kids will be fighting over corsages, spiked punch, and whose date is hotter. Remember men, just because you arrived with her, doesn't mean you have to leave with her. Ladies, remember this is not your mother's Homecoming - SLUT UP! Enjoy yourselves, and have a LEGENDARY HOMECOMING. Heh, coming."

"And have truthful social gatherings where we all tell the truth about stuff."

Re: Lie to Each Other [10/5]

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Like a game and sit in a circle and maybe hold hands for encouragement. The truth sometimes hurts."

Re: Lie to Each Other [10/5]

"You're right. There should be tissue, for the the crying. The truth can make you sad."

One big reason why Andrew tried to avoid it.

"And strawberry shortcake for when you're done to make you feel better. And...hugging. And whipped cream on the strawberry shortcake." Yes.

"I'm so lucky to have such a truthful friend. Isn't it great knowing you can ask me anything and I won't lie to you?"

Re: Lie to Each Other [10/5]

"It's the best feeling in the whole wide world. And aren't you glad you can always trust me to tell you the truth?"

"Oh, that's a good one," Beauty remarked. "You're lying, but only about lying. It's really clever."

Re: Lie to Each Other [10/5]

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette winked at Beauty. "Did you know Clever was my middle name? Annette Clever Hargrove."

Re: Lie to Each Other [10/5]

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

Beauty laughed. "I'm really bad at this, aren't I? Um. Yes, I knew Clever was your middle name because I...secretly read your journal."

Re: Lie to Each Other [10/5]

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette snickered. "Which one? I have two journals. Actually I have three but one is not my own."

Re: Lie to Each Other [10/5]

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

"I read them all," Beauty answered quickly. "And I wrote copies too. In Greek."

"So then I have no worries about the rest of the student body being able to read them," Annette said cheekily. "So, what did you think of my dream last night?"

Re: Lie to Each Other [10/5]

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

"I've put up posters offering translations. For a fee," Beauty countered. "And, um...I thought your dream was extremely disturbing. Very very odd. Have you considered talking to someone about your problems with badgers?"

"That was two days ago! You didn't read about the moaning and stuff? Dick wrote that all down for me."

Re: Lie to Each Other [10/5]

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

"What the-" Dick shook his head. "You're such a little liar."

Re: Lie to Each Other [10/5]

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"I might be little, but I am not a liar. I... never lie." Annette stuck her tongue out at him.

"You lied on Tuesday when you tried to tell me you wanted to get married in February."

Re: Lie to Each Other [10/5]

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette's face was the epitome of everything innocent. "But I do want to get married in February."

Re: Lie to Each Other [10/5]

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

"You do not." he said.

Re: Lie to Each Other [10/5]

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"You do not. I do. I could get married tomorrow."

Re: Lie to Each Other [10/5]

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

"You're crazy." he said, smiling. "Marriage is the scariest thing ever."

"What's that make you for dating me? Crazier?" Annette winked at him.
