picture this:

you're in town, shopping, when you spot an acquaintance in the mass of people
you aren't sure why, but you dodge behind a pillar, pretending not to see him/her.
It may look like your avoiding an enemy, a hostile ex bf/gf or the bitchy queen bee of the mean girls clique from
high school. But no, he/she is a friend of a friend. AND, is quite affable, to boot.

sounds familiar?
well, you're not alone.

i hate small talk too.
hypothetically, small talk equates= lies

to avert any talk like,
"how are you, duhling! *muah-muah air kisses*"
"well, im great, hun! just great. *beams*"

even if you are feeling down in the dumps or on anti depressants, you'd claim you're well and all that crap.

i figure there are mainly 3 categories of lying:

Confabulation-you make bullshit up to cover up that may be really far-fetched
( i was late because this flying saucer snatched me up and the little bald headed guys inside made me stay for a tea party)

Denial-a psychological defense mechanism where confrontation with reality is avoided
(you're accusing me of playing with myself in the shower just because i was in there for an extended 30 mins? slanderous accusations! you don't have any hidden cameras in there now, do you?)

Omission-where you overlook doing something
( Katy's hair looks like crap today.She's a good friend, i'm sure she'd want to know and forgive me for telling her so)

Think about the number of times a day you lie.
Come on, if you count all three types of lying, i bet you can't even begin to add it all up.

PLUS those small talks. sheesh

So if you happen to see me acting all flaky, unhinged and resorting to desperate means to avoid you, I'm sorry, it doesn't mean i bear any grudges against you.

It merely means i'm on my day off from lying.

And think about it! You'll be glad i did that, because i'm sure you'd like to shun away from having to fib once again too.
