I forgive me and you.

(As I missed yesterday) - Day 3: Something you have to forgive yourself for.

Lying. When I was little, up to about the age of 10, I tended to be a compulsive liar. It was never about anything big, just small little things like saying I'd seen a film I hadn't, read a book I hadn't or denying taking the last chocolate bar. Seems stupid to want to forgive myself for lying about tiny things, but as I'm the youngest in my family and I was the picture of innocence (sometimes) when I was younger, my brother and sister got bollocked for doing what I did. My brother and sister aren't my favourite people in the world at all even though we're all older now (Me: 18 in June, James: 21 in June and Ruth: 25 in July) and should be all mature and get along. Still, I do regret pinning all my crap on them because it wasn't really fair, but I was little and knew I could get away with it. I stopped doing it at around the age of 10, 11 because I was being sussed out by my Dad. It was fun while it lasted. I can occasionally get away with things nowadays (still small things like eating Ruth's not-so-secret stash of sweets) because I'll never get tired of the feeling of getting one-up on my siblings.

Day 4: Something you have to forgive someone for.

I actually couldn't think of something deadly serious for this, which almost sounds like I'm ego boosting myself saying I forgive everyone, which I don't, but I thought for literally hours and couldn't think of anything except stuff thats way too personal to put on here and mostly (and purposely) forgotten anyway. So I've decided that I need to forgive my friends for being so annoying. I adore them all, I really do but damn are they irritating sometimes.
Jess is just ridiculosly distracting, yet I love her for that because my life, and Graphics, just wouldn't be the same without her. She's also too funny. Laughing is part of my daily schedule around my friends but give my stomach muscles a break Miss Hill. There are 3 (I think) books full of quotes I have made her just to remember how funny she, and all of us, are. Jammy is stubborn as they come. Try telling her your paying for her cinema ticket, lunch or anything and she's not having it. Ever. I suppose her stubbornness translates into standing her ground which I'm proud of her for and who am I to put her in debt anyway!? Karlii is Miss Hygeine 2011 and I'm aware she can't help it (OCD and all that jazz) but it's amusing, sometimes for all the wrong reasons. She gets the hand sanitiser out for everything - even to wipe the floor of the sixth form common room. It's hard not to feel dirty around her which sets my paranoia going, but what's life without someone you love cleaning up after you? Lastly, there's Claire. What to do about Claire and her huge mouth? She is such a gossip which is very helpful when you want to know about everyone elses life because I'm nosy, but I try to tell her nothing that I know she'll shout out to the Universe and beyond. She's also a lot like me in the way if she has an opinion it's coming out of that mouth faster than light. I can't really fault her there though if I do it too.
That motley crew are loud, opinionated, hilarious and I couldn't love them more for it :)
