The 22nd of November - Liar? And a shopaholic?

Hey again,

Today I lied to my parents, and I realized that I often lie to my parents. It's never about anything big, it's just to make them worry less about me and not think I'm such an annoying child. Today I lied about me going to visit my friend Ingrid, I was with Ingrid, but we went into the city and ate and after that we took a dance lesson. And you're probably like "why would you lie about that" and you were probably thinking that it was about parties and such. I'm actually mostly honest about the parties I go to, yes I do drink more than I'm aloud to, but I don't drink a lot more and am usually honest about parties. No I just don't want my mom and dad to spend a lot of money on me, and I don't want them to worry or waste time on my and I don't want them to think that I'm too much trouble for them. So I just twist the truth a little. Today if I had told them where I was really going, they would feel like they had to pay for my bus ride, my dancing class and my food. Instead I told them that I was at Ingrid's house where I would be served dinner and where I would hang. So yeah I just don't want to be any trouble for my mom and dad. Also the way I tricked my mom and dad to let Ingrid sleep over here tomorrow was by telling them that she would be home alone and didn't want to. No she wasn't going to be alone home? I told my mom and dad that so that they would let her sleep here. I know one of my resolutions was to lie less, and I really want to try to only tell my parents the truth from now on, I feel like a bad person.

2nd thing is that I think I might be a little bit of a shopaholic. You know not seriously or anything, but I do really buy a lot of things. It's because I go shopping a lot, cause I have time to spend before ballet and then I just end up in the stores and then I end up buying something. It's not serious or anything, but I think I need to stop buying so many things, or I might end up evolving a real addiction! You've seen the movie "confessions of a shopaholic" and it doesn't look nice now does it? Her problem is she buys things and she tells no one and she never wears it, now I wear it. But I have bought thongs (might do a thong vs. underwear at some point) and those I have hidden from my parent, because I think it's a bit embarrassing, so I wash them myself. Otherwise I don't really hide my buys. Yeah I've got to stop buying things and I've got to stop lying, I'm a douchebag at the moment.

Love,
