Liar Liar
27 Jun
Go ahead, finish that rhyme. You know you want to.
“Sometimes you can learn more about a person by what they don’t tell you. Sometimes you can learn a lot from the things they just make up. If you are tagged with this Meme, lie to me. Then tag 7 other folks (one for each deadly sin) and hope they can lie.”
So Cate Gardner tagged me for this one, and here I am! Welcome to my Emporium of Lies. Shouldn’t be too hard, since it’s what I want to do for a living, right?
Pride: What is your biggest contribution to the world?
Bought Paganini’s soul in exchange for awesome virtuoso capabilities. I’m that good. Here, let him entertain you while you read the rest of this:
Tell me the world does not owe me a serious debt of gratitude.
Envy: What do your coworkers wish they had which is yours?
Paganini’s soul. (The master wants him, but he can’t have him.)
Gluttony: What did you eat last night?
Half a cow. Including the heart.
Lust: What really lights your fire?
Those PETA ads. Yeah wow, naked proselytizing celebrities that make me look like a douche. I love it!
Anger: What is the last thing that really pissed you off?
The ending of A Tale of Two Cities when I re-read it recently. What a load of crap. I nearly tore the whole living room up, I was so very, very angry. F@$k you, Sidney Carton!
Greed: Name something you keep from others.
My stunning comedic brilliance. Soak it up, because I’ll have to lock it away after this. Don’t be jealous.
Sloth: What’s the laziest thing you’ve ever done?
In grad school I bought a Mt. Dew I.V. so I could play EverQuest for days at a stretch without ever leaving my desk.
And there we have it! Hmm, actually, I’m kind of surprised I never thought of that last one. That was a serious addiction. Aww, now I miss playing MMOs!
I think it’s safe to say I’m tagging the people who read this who haven’t been tagged already. It’s done the rounds!

Please telepathically send the butt end of the cow – I’m starving.
And I guess it’s true what they first line says, because your love of music, gaming and literature helped weave your lies.
That’s true– I didn’t think of it, though I noticed it with other peoples’! Weird. And my vegetarianism did the rest.
That means your Oompa Loompa thing says you’re capable of striking terror into the hearts of the masses with a few words, I think. Definitely.
Half a cow. Har!
Scary how Mt. Dew adverts as “game fuel” now…
Thanks for the musical accompaniment. I find I often forego romantic works for the restrained passion of the baroque period (rawk out on that harpsichord!) but I think I might have to revisit my Brahms. And pull out the P-Dawg’s catalogue.
Ha, great answers! I’d love to do this — I’ve been tagged — but I’m scared to take my mind off the WIP. It’s so close to THE END now… And I doubt I can match you guys anyway. You’re all mad.
I know, right, Aaron? Ten years after the gamers figured it out, too. Silly AND scary.
Fredericks, yes, Brahms is definitely the Romantic for those who prefer Baroque! (Wow, that sentence made way more sense in my head.) I think my 8th most played artist on last.fm is Vivaldi though, so I’ve no room to talk there. Mmm Italian Baroque…
Also, I should’ve tagged you for this directly. I’ve not seen you tagged anywhere, and I would enjoy your lies immensely. If you see this, please accept my taggage!
Mike, oh please do it! It’s cool, you can save it for AFTER you sort out the WIP. It’d be worth it.
You’re all mad.
True. But this is coming from the man who wrote Fourtold! Mwaha, your secret is out, we are not fooled!
My dog’s last name is Puganini.
… just when I thought that thing couldn’t possibly be more adorable. Oh man.
The half-cow and heart devouring reminds me of watching my fater and brother-in-law eating a bunch of chicken livers *shudder*
Reminds me of that episode of King of the Hill where the doctor asks Hank, “Has Bobby been eating liver?” (Because he has gout!)
Hank shudders and goes, “He’s just a boy, not a ghoul!”
I join you in shuddering.
