>Why do you lie?

My mother got us hired as surplus extras for the filming of a television commercial. Filming kids can go wrong so they want to have backup actors/extras in case one batch is fail. It turned out that we weren't needed at all so we basically got paid for sitting in a room all day.

My mother didn't spend the money. She let us decide what we could spend it on. My cousin had an NES and we wanted one so we told her we wanted that. She didn't want to take the three of use out so she went without us and picked up an SNES because it the store people informed her that it was new and better.

Oh, and when I was four it took my mother the better part of an hour to trick me into believing that Santa Claus existed. I was a smart four year old.

I bought An N64 from a cousin going into the military with my own money from several birthdays. Had 8 games including Ocarina of time. I was so psyched

I owned it for one week and had only started the temples in Oot, when my parents cut all the cables, and threw away all the plastic.

Their reason? a middle school teacher said i rolled my eyes at him, and without even trying to verify it with anyone else took punitive action. The next day I apologized to the teacher, the kicker? He didn't know what i was apologizing for

I fucking hate my parents

A /v/ poster who attempted for years to establish herself as an e-celeb, but never made it before (Despite viralling herself on /v/ a bunch around 2012-13ish) fading into obscurity. She started doing some videos on The Tester around the time Egoraptor was on it, which got her noticed on /v/, and then she did a few videos shitting on the then-upcoming Anita, which earned her a few fans here and there. She failed to really capitalize on this though and never really went anywhere. Though she had a vaguely amusing feud of sorts with MidgetTears (Which was largely just in his head no doubt, given what a legit nut he was) that was caused by her rejecting him.

Now she just streams on Twitch to her circle of about 10 e-friends and complains about trivial shit on Twitter. Nice chick, but a real oddball.
