Is there anyone out there in our great community that enjoys lying as much as I do?

Lying is one of the few challenging things in my life. It takes creativity and intelligence. It takes a knowledge of how people think and behave. A good lie can be the result of extensive planning, or it can be an amazingly quick-minded response to awkwardness. A lie is a victory of your will over another's, imposing upon them what you want reality to be. Good lies are almost a legacy, stretching on into the future. I almost wish that I had something in my life I needed to lie about, but Jinya takes me
as I am and there's no need.

Do you enjoy lying? What's the best lie you've ever told? I think my biggest, most extensive lie was when I wrote out a fake work schedule after I'd quit my job so that I could meet Jinya while my wife thought I was at work. Jin and I spent the day together, and she left a few hickeys on my neck. I spent a little while scratching at my neck vigorously so that when my wife picked me up from work, I could claim I'd been scratching all day and that I was having an allergic reaction to something. (It looked like I had, too.) I picked a long, blonde hair off myself in the car on the way home and explained it away by saying a co-worker had been hitting on me to try and get me to cover a shift for her, so that she could watch her boyfriend's kid. (That HAD happened, but it was a few days before and I wisely hadn't mentioned it.) As soon as we got home, I showered to "relieve my allergy" and wash off where Jinya and I had "spent the day together". My neck felt much better afterwards.
