i'm not sure if this is shooting myself in the foot, but i decided for fun to include a little anecdote in my response to one of the nerve.com questions. the nerve! they're so much more fun than match where they just ask tedious questions like what kind of pets do you like, or do you have a roommate:

best or worst lie ever told:

once, a daring stranger at the bookstore asked about my hickey as i rung up his purchases:

"what happened to your neck?"

"i was skateboarding on my belly and hit a fire hydrant." (i don't skateboard--TWO lies for the price of one).

"was it a vampire hydrant?"

ouch.

hopefully, i don't get the ire of some self-righteous shit punk who says, "lying sucks!" lying does suck. but, on days when you didn't have time to apply the cover-up...
