My sister found out that one month ago i got drunk and stayed out all night. Now i have to let her use my LoveFilm (equivelant to Netflix) rentals which i pay for with my own money. Me and my sister dont really have anything in common, shes two years younger than me. I was wondering if anyone had any tips for making friends and building trust with my sister?

Wait, are you saying she blackmailed you with the LoveFilm? That she agreed to not tell if you got (and paid) for flix? Boy, I'd have a much different reaction if that was the case, please advise!
The second part of your q is a bit easier: For one thing, it wasn't her trust you betrayed by staying out and getting pissed, it was your folks. They're the one who set (and enforce) the rules, not her.
What you did wasn't a very good thing, of course, it was bad judgement, but it doesn't really affect her, nor should it really affect her relationship with you. If she's expressed some dismay, then that should be addressed, but otherwise, this is between you and your folks. And your conscience.

Well you have a good sister. Hopefully you get to watch those pictures too.
I don't have the greatest relationship with my sister but usually we get along well. So if shes younger then just start being the cool big brother.
Dropping her off/picking her up, being finacially available, looking after her in a non-controlling way, etc.
Just start talking to her and making small talk but just don't be weird about it. Don't talk to her every chance you get and then she may get weirded out.
So just take it slow and start noticing her habits and her likes/dislikes and start getting to know her on a different level that brother and sister but more like friend to friend which will in turn make your brother/sister relationship better.
Good luck :D
