So I haven't blogged in a bit...

Busy busy busy.

 

So have you ever accidentally lied and gotten called out on it?  When you were called out did you try to correct yourself with a "what I MEANT to say was" in order to restore whatever karma you may have damaged?

 

Yeah?

 

Well fuck that.  I got caught last night and just RAN with it. 

 

Story: out with a few buddies last night I was talking about this girl.  I MEANT to say "I used to mess around with" but ACTUALLY ended up saying something totally different.  Like, I used to sleep with.  The difference was only one word - but we need not repeat the sentence.  It'll make me look like an ass.

 

In fairness I was really drunk. 

 

So he was all "No you didn't.  Otherwise you'd have told me earlier."

 

I quickly realized he was completely right.  I was cornered.  What was my next move?  I either come out and explain what I meant to say and clear the air  - all while allowing my friend a small moral victory and a moment of "Ahhhhhhh.... yeah, yeah.  Okay," smugness...

 

...or I lie.

 

"Fuck you, yes I did.  I didn't tell you because I haven't seen her forever."

 

"No you didn't."

 

"Fuck you.  Yes I did."

 

"Liar."

 

"Fuck you.  I'm not a liar."

 

Note: At this point I was lying my ass off.

 

I basically beat him in to submission with my lie.  Now the question: do I tell him the truth today?

 

Fuck it.

 

I wonder how long it'll take me to believe my own lie if I keep telling it to myself over and over and over and over.  I give it 5 more minutes.
