How to go from liar to theif.

25/4/2008

Went shopping today.Of course usually when i shop i buy nice things from Kurt Geiger and Prada. Today i was slumming it in the depths of Mark de Pri. That’s Primark for those who aren’t in the know. watching my friend try on a few bits. Not in a pervy way. she tries on a skirt. She loves it. I think she looks ridiculous. I am suddenly torn. Do i risk telling her and she gets mad but doesn’t look awful. Or do i bite my tongue technically I’m not lying, I’m just not saying anything. I’ve never thought of myself as a people pleaser just saying what people wanted to hear but I’ve suddenly realised that i used to do that all the time.

so what did i do? i told her. In a more roundabout way. By telling her she can’t afford all 3 items she’s trying on and suggest she buys the other 2 items she tried on. It’s just a different kind of truth. Its not a lie.

So i was queueing in the ridiculous in and outey queue like they have a theme park. I get to the till. My friend keeps passing me bits of clothing and accessories because she can’t be arsed to queue herself.

£13.58

that’s cheap i was thinking. as i walk away i look at the receipt. my dress hadn’t been scanned. I panic. first thinking can i get away with this. will the alarm go off when i leave the shop. will i be cavity searched by the Gurkha security man. I should just go back and pay for it. My friend like a devil on my shoulder suggests that its their mistake and not mine. i am easily swayed at the thought of a free dress. So my first fib has come to light. I do not feel guilty about this though. I’ve been thinking all day. Fuck it. Primark is a big company they can afford to miss out on £9 for a dress. They didn’t notice and if i was being my usual dippy self i probably wouldn’t of noticed til i got home anyway. I like how I’m justifying this. It’s like I’m cutting out lies but now I’m thieving!
