Sometimes people think I'm foreign, like they ask where I'm from and say I have an accent. I work at my dad's store which is in an area where a lot of tourists come, and I can't tell you how many people have said those things. Its funny because I've lived in the same state in USA since I was born. I just think its kinda weird (and kinda cool). But thats not my confession. Sometimes I just wanna lie to people and tell them I'm from some exotic place and make up some shit. I don't like lying though and I don't think I could do it, I just think it'd be funny and maybe believable...
in the picture you look like ur from the moon or something xD nah im just kidding u look cute, but yeah just lie, make up places like xeonophipe
That's awesome. A few years ago when I was recovering from anorexia and still wearing my hair in that high teen girl bun this lady came up to me and asked if I was a dancer, and I told her yes, followed by a tragic story about breaking my ankle and thus cutting my career short. haha. I don't know why, but the answer came on impulse. lol I would totally take advantage of your situation. If these people are just tourists you'll likely never see again, what's stopping you? Little white lies to strangers give me an adrenaline rush.
Hehe thats funny. I'm just really bad at lying and then I feel all guilty about it. I wouldn't really feel guilty about it if I lied to a stranger but I'm just not good at it hah. Maybe one day..
Magical Fire Lady, Your just telling a story. Don't feel bad about it. You get to deal with tourists! Think about some of the favorite things you hold dear. A lot of them are most likely small things that happened in everyday life. You could be the memory that made their whole vacation worth it. Have fun with it.
when i'm tired, people think i'm from alabama because i have a "sloppy mouth." which basically means i develop a real roundy drawl and my voice gets even more breathy. i'm not from the south. i lived there briefly as a child. so people think i'm southern. it's kind of embarassing, and i have to explain i'm not southern, i just don't enunciate as well when i'm tired. i don't want them thinking i'm faking it to be "interesting." that would be icky.
ppl tell me the same thing (not sure if ppl from philadelphia have a distinct accent)...and i have no idea what they're talking about =) sometimes what i'll do is...make something really great up...and when they say something like "really??" or "wow...seriously??"...i say...no i'm jus kiddin =P
People always ask me if I'm german or from like some place i don't even remember right now.... they say I simply don't look like the rest of the people out here in Venezuela... sometimes i wish I could tell them I am from germany but if they asked me to speak german I would be fucked so that's why I don't do it HAHAHAHA!
i used to work at a movie theatre and often they would put me at podium, which is the person standing at the front who tears up tickets... so i would get bored standing there for 4 or so hours befor the douchers finally decide to give me my break and i'd fake an accent, or make funny faces (whilst acting oblivious that i was actually makeing them) just to see peoples reactions.. it was fun
I do that sometimes. Especially to freaky guys-I kind of have a gut and I tell these guys that I'm pregnant with twins when they as me out...then, I'll flip my engagement ring around because I have a thick band on it...and tell them I'm married. It's fun.
I've met people from New England and Canada that sounded like they came straight off the boat from Ireland. But, they were from backwoods areas that didn't have a lot of outside contact, so the accent kind of stuck around after all those generations.
