I'm soooo honest, and I never use sarcasm

I got a little bloggy Christmas present from Susan! It's an honesty award, for telling it like it is. Thank you, Susan, and I'm sorry it took me 2 weeks to get off my ass to accept!

There are the customary rules, but I gotta tell you I'm feeling a little rambunctious today and may not follow all of them. (Oooooooooo, I'm tellin') At least I was honest about that.

1."When you receive the prize, you must write a post showing it, together with the name of who has given it to you, and link them back.

2.Choose a minimum of 5 blogs that you find brilliant in their content or design.

3.Show their names and links and leave them a comment informing that they were prized with 'Honest Weblog'.

4.List at least ten honest things about yourself. Then, pass it on!"

Ok class, since it's almost Christmas break, today we are going to skip over rules 2 & 3, roll in the TV cart, pop a movie into the VCR, and call it a day. Lights off, heads on your desks. Instead of the requested 10 honest things about me, here are 10 times I was a filthy sneaking liar:

1. In 5th grade, our teacher made us grade our own papers. Actually, she made us switch with the kid sitting next to us and grade each others'. I had a major crush on the boy sitting next to me, and so when he suggested that from now on we just always give each other A's, I agreed, without a single doubt that this would seal our love forever. Of course, we eventually got caught and because of our sneakiness, I wasn't recommended to be on Safety Patrol in 6th grade.

2. Also in 5th grade (it was a difficult year for me), I told one of my Girl Scout leaders that I hated her. She made fun of me too much. My mom was mortified and made me call to apologize. I said, "I'm sorry I told you I hated you. " I lied.

3. I didn't lose my retainer when I was 12, like I told my mom. I sat on it and broke it into 4 pieces.

4. I stole a bottle of Wet N Wild nail polish from the Harmon Cosmetics store when I was a teenager.

5. In geometry, I wrote the formula on my desk in pencil before the test started. (Which actually forced my brain to remember it, thus defeating the purpose of cheating).

6. All those times I called in "sick" to work. But in my defense, there is no such thing as "Just don't feel like going" days.

7. I wasn't too sick to take the final exam in my Research class in college. I was too hungover.
Thanks once again, Everclear.

8. When Lennie called and asked if I had gotten a dog behind his back while he was away at training camp. "Absoultely not," I believe my reply was.



9. I wasn't really on vacation when my old Virginia neighbor invited me to what was basically a "buy some sex toys" party. I was just hiding out in the basement with the lights off for 3 days so I didn't have to go.

10. I can't think of a #10 right now because typically, I don't lie, I avoid.

Lights back on, movie's over. Now, I am supposed to pass this on to 7 more bloggers, but I promised no homework. So, if you consider yourself to be a blogger who "tells it like it is" go ahead and steal this award right off my page. I promise I won't tell on you, pinky swear, it's our secret.
