vega's saturday

10:30 a.m.
what i told my dad:
i was "somewhere" at "a friend's house."
what really happened:
i was at josh's place. at 2:30 we left to visit sean at rez.

3:00 p.m.
what i told my dad:
my morning plans had turned into all-day plans. i was with sean, sarah, and jeff, hanging out downtown.
what really happened:
i was with josh and sean, and they were rehearsing. at about 6:30 josh and i met max and carrie to go to josh's dad's restaurant for supper.

10:00 p.m.
what i told my dad:
i was having supper downtown. he got mad at me for being out all day and not calling enough. he made me go home.
what really happened:
i was at the restaurant. i didn't want to go home yet, so i had been planning to ask my dad to sleep over at a friend's house, but vit started being mad before i could even bring up the idea.

the reason i tell this story in this way is because i wanted to show how my lies all turned inwards upon me, until i was crushed by their weight.
the thing is, to my dad, the truth would have been no better.
