Well it's probably not, but since it doesn't usually harm the liar, there's not much impetus to change things. A lot of times what I am calling lies would fall under the category of embellishment, like "I was in training to be an Olympic athlete" when the truth is more "I am very proud of the swim competitions I won in high school." The other big category is self-serving lies, either lying for personal gain or lying to avoid something you don't want to do.

So, on my way home just now, I saw a person who looked like a man from the neck up, who was wearing a cute skirt and tights. I would love to know what their deal is! Man who likes skirts? Not a man? Even though obviously I have no right to know. So I'm posting here to get the question out of my head.

Timelies all!

Ugh, tired.

Everyone crazy enough to follow me on Tumblr today: it is full of reblogs and jackassery. It's like me here, but without intervening posts by other people to slow me down, or the need to post in different threads depending on what my topic is, WITH PICTURES.

IJS.

Skipping like a mad skipping thing because I see Tumblr!!!!! Follow me, y'all! I'll follow you back! I'm glam-cookie (obviously).

Oh my beloveds. I can't even manage to keep up here so I can't add Tumblr time to my schedule.

The whole Trump thing just depresses me. The election is so far away. I have several friends that I am going to have to figure out a way to politely ignore on FB because the alternative is to blow up the friendship completely when I ask them if they are totally insane. I can't figure a way to civilly discuss their Trump admiration. Close friends. Family. How can I know these people? It isn't that they don't know my feelings. Alas, I have Bernie friends that are almost as upsetting with their vows to write him in come November. Sigh.

I don't know to deal with the Trump thing, either. I'm refusing to discuss it with, say, my dad, because never speaking to him again if he votes for Trump isn't an option.

With Trump it's just... you know... I mean c'mon. If I was running an ad campaign against him I'd think it would just be that, a video clip of him saying something stupid followed by a graphic of 'C'mon. Really?'

I'm a Bernie supporter, but I hate seeing his supporters get nasty. I don't it when anyone from my various tribes is a dick. It doesn't help.

The tue/thur/sun lifeguard, the elder of the crew, listens to NPR on shift. We've cry-laughed over how we really never thought we'd hear so much Trump on NPR, ever.

Chatting with him today, found out he's the recruiting power behind the influx of guards, male and female, who are Muslim. This is a 'spare' job for him for fun money, free y membership and to keep his toe in the swim world, as his job with the city interfered with coaching in the schools. A lot of the newbies are his former students from when he coached and he recruited many kids in his mosque into the school swim program. He encouraged them to get certified, etc. It makes me happy my Y is so inclusionary that no one blinks an eye. As it should be.

I just listened to a thing on NPR about PA voters and a guy who phone banked for Clinton in 2008 is now supporting Trump. He still says he really likes Clinton as a person. Total dissonance with me, I cannot grasp it.
