For instance....
When we were backpacking in Nice, my lovely friend was chatting up an Aussie. He was about 25 and mid-snog, my friend told him she was really 16. Boy was his face priceless.
I always give out fake names and fake schools. Sometimes I do it to sound more impressive and sometimes I do it to sound like a loser, depending on the mood I'm in. The point is, you're on vacation, you can recreate your own reality and none of your new french friends will ever know!!
Bonus points if you get them to believe it even after you're facebook friends.
See I thought I was the only one with multiple personality disorder when I travel. It's like I can't even help myself sometimes, shit just comes out of my mouth. The only negative is that most of the time when you're lying to someone and you think you're being so sly about it, the other person is usually lying about more than you are.
ReplyDeletehaha yea thats very true, it kinda makes me feel better about it though, like a big inside joke everyone is in on, that way I don't feel like such a dick when I tell them I'm the clarinet player in the NYC orchestra.
