it's got me into a lot of trouble in the past, but i can't seem to stop. i can't really explain it. maybe it's how ready people are to believe, or maybe it's just me trying to ovedrcompensate for being a pretty boring person. who knows?
i try and be open about it, cause people seem to get less angry if you warn them in advance that approximately 15% of stories you tell are lies. also it's way more common than you might think.

The thing is that I don't mind if someone tells it straight that they do tell little lies, therefore you are somewhat prepared for them to come up with something that doesn't quite click. When someone does it for mischevious purposes, and they are someone you know, that's a different story. And yes, lying all the time does turn a person into a pathetic creature, I don't see why anyone wants that to happen to themselves.
