Event - It was my stepfather's birthday and I didn't really like him much. But my mom had an attack if I didn't get him something or treat him nice. So his birthday rolls around and I forgot to get him anything. On the way to the house for his party, I heard on the radio there was a big earthquake in China a couple days before, and they were asking for donations to send. So at the party, I told him that I made a donation to the charity in his name : )
Apology - I don't apologize to my stepfather or mother. I shouldn't have to get a gift for someone I don't like. But I apologize to the people in China for using them in my lie.
Event - I remember when I was about 15 I had a tennis lesson - and one day I just decided not to go. I think my friends were going to the mall and I wanted to go. So I went with them and blew the lesson off. I didn't call the coach and tell her. When I got home, my dad was there. "Did you go to your lesson?" I was like, "Sure - good lesson." At that moment the phone rang. My dad answered and it was my coach. "Where was Marc today." Doh! My dad was pissed and sent me to my room. Okay - I screwed up. But my second layer of guilt came when I decided to try and manipulate him by writing an apology note. So I wrote this long note about being irresponsible and how sorry I was. And I went to the faucet and let a few drops of water fall onto the note - fake tears : ) It worked like a charm - no punishment.
Apology - First off, I'm sorry I lied. I knew better, and I should have just gone to the lesson, or told him I blew it off. Second, the manipulation thing was just one in a long line of manipulations I've pulled off over the years. I think it's just an instinct of mine, but I'm getting better. At least I'm trying!
Event - This happened years ago. At the time I thought it was too f*****g funny, but over the years I know it isn't. A friend and I went to a coffee shop late one night looking pretty hot. We had dinner and flirted the whole time with this dorky waiter, really leading him on. When I paid, I gave him a note and said to call me. The phone number was for a girl who used to be a friend, but I then hated. I know he called her because the when he did, the two of them figured out what happened. She gave him my number and he called me and asked me why I would do something like that. I just laughed and told him he was a loser and hung up.
Apology - nobody should be treated like that. I've had some sh***y relationships since then. Karma, I guess. Sorry, waiter guy.
Event - I created 5 fake university letters and showed them to my mother. I have another year of college - which she doesn't know about - and then I'll be going to University. I'm about to present my fake results tomorrow to convince her that I'm going to be taking a year off due to my excellent results. The embarrassment of telling her that I have another year of college is just too much.
Apology - I'm sorry Mum. I should have told you earlier. This is probably going to haunt me for the rest of my life.
