i am going to very seriously take up lying in this new year.i have never been a good liar, you can ask my parents.  my father is a human lie detector.  i think that might have been one of his specialities during his military service.i have also never been real big on making new years resolutions.  i have nearly no bad habits.  and have gotten pretty serious about hitting the gym in the last year or two.so who’s to say your new years resolution has to be be something to improve your own health or quality of life?  i think shamelessly lying, mainly to strangers, about outlandish things, would be a really great way to make the world more interesting and exercise my imagination.  and you dont have to be exactly convincing to make up these kinds of lies, so its more of a ‘fib’ type of lie.  a white lie. i practiced lying just yesterday at the airport.i was supposed to be going to san francisco to shoot a bondage porno, but when this guy asked the purpose of my trip i explained to him that i was meeting a friend up there to perform a satanic ritual which involved sacrificing a goat and drinking its blood.he responded with “right on”and i left him him with “have a nice trip, hail satan!”i think the lie served it purpose nicely.it saved me the explanation about being a sex worker, let him know that i didnt really want to talk about it, and gave us both a good laugh.he’ll probably remember me forever.  and i like the thought of people thinking about me.i guess attention whoring is a vice,  maybe i’ll try to cut down on that in 2009.Â
