Lies

I am no stranger to cyber stalking. C'mon, neither are you. I always learn something new from others' blogs. For example, today I learned of the word:

affectation


A good friend of mine recently joined me in the ranks at Unitec. Thus far, she is not really enjoying herself. She tells me her class is really boring. This one particular day (the one where you do all that awkward meeting-and-greeting), she got up in front of her class and said she was from Argentina. Which is absolute bullshit, she's just another white Kiwi girl who happens to look slightly exotic in the facial area. She felt she needed to deny her roots in order to lessen the massively boring class situation.

You can't really fault her logic...

I don't know how she's gonna keep that up though. She doesn't even look Spanish. But hey, if MJ looked Caucasian, anything goes.

Is it really necessary to lie? I think so. Everybody lies, every day. It's pretty funny, whoever coined the term "Honesty is the best policy" must be feeling pretty fucking douchey right now.
