omg i felt the same way!!! I am convinced our sitation turns you into a pathological liar - i started to believe my own lies. Well anyway before I left my friends all thought i was going to study abroayd and would be back this year...now they keep asking when I am coming back esp since some are getting married soon & I don't know how to explain that I might not be there...ummm I just keep saying I am busy with school & work. I finally ended up telling my best friend though & yea the questions are non-stop which is why I wanted to avoid telling anyone but I had to...it took me hours to explain the entire thing. Well now she understands and she is there for me, she might come see this year too so i am excited ...She is the only person I have told but I felt a sigh of relief especially since I could finally be open with her, I don't have to hide anymore & she accepted me for who I am. I don't wana tell my other friends though because I don't talk to them as much as my BF as it is & it really doesn't matter if they know or not, either way they can't help me get back. Hopefully if my visa/attorney/waiver issue goes through next year i won't have to but otherwise I might tell them next year...who knows.

Good luck talk to me if you need to!!! Yea where are you going back to btw??
