Hey Freak!

OK. Obviously, I'm reaching here.

Here we go...

What the funniest/craziest lie that you've ever told to get out of a date? Or an appointment? Or meeting?

"I lost your number, and forgot where we were gonna meet."

"Car broke down."

"Traffic."

"My mom's in the hospital."

"There was a plague. And locusts!"

Me? Hell, I'm a terrible liar, so by default, I have to be pretty dang honest. My best lie is probably something boring, like I was late for work because I saw a car/pedestrian accident. Something like that.

But I know some of you have to have some doozies. Let's hear 'em!

"my roommate borrowed my car and hasn't returned yet"

My cat peed on my underwear drawer... probably too much information, but you asked... yes, that's why I won't be in to work until I can get to the store, buy new underwear, wash it, dry it, and put it on. So sorry...

-H

Sometimes, the truth works better than fiction. I ended up going on a blind date with someone ubercreepy - so halfway through the date I said "That's it, you're a complete freak, and If I never see you again it'll be too soon," grabbed my coat and purse and walked out in the middle of dinner.

I always go on the date. Even if it turns out to be a big mistake. I just sit there and say nothing.

I usually get all confused and end up just agreeing to do stuff, then call later and say I'm sick. I'm quite lame.

Once, though, this guy I went to high school with who had been pursing me for several years asked me point blank to go out with him that night and I told him I had an unavoidable committment. I can't recall exactly what I said, but it came out sounding like bullshit. The guy was bee-yoo-ti-ful, he worked as a model. But he was so stupid that he failed German class despite being from Austria and German being his first language.

I didn't actually have anything to do that night so a friend invited me to come join his D&D game. It turned out that my Zoolander boy was a role-playing regular (who says all models are cool) and eventually I did make the lie up to him (because everybody should bang a model at least once).

I am so cool. Ditching amourous models in favour of a night of fantasy role-playing with a roomful of Hungarian boys. For real, I am the coolest.

You know, I write more in your comments than I do lately in my own blog. You must be my muse. Hmmm...

i too am a hideous liar, so i have to tell the truth as well, otherwise i will get caught in the lie.

true story: i had a friend who decided to scarper off on his wife (i wasn't aware they were married -in secret- at this point) and go to california with a friend. he told me that he didn't want her to know...i knew i wasn't supposed to say anything, nevermind how uncomfortable it made me. anyway, he and his buddy met cuba gooding jr. in a strip club on that trip. so, years later we are all together discussing celebs we have met (me=zero) and i said 'hey...didn't you meet cuba gooding jr?'. of course he adamently denied it, even after i kept on asking about it...you know the 'dude! no...i KNOW it was you who met him!!' thing. after about 5 minutes of this it hit me...oh shit...he wasn't supposed to have ever gone on that trip...so i had to backtrack and say 'oh yeah...i guess it was someone else.'

that totally sucked, and this is why i told him that if he was going to lie to his wife...best not say a thing to me about it. because i sure as hell can't keep my own story straight much less someone else's.

sorry for the book.

My boyfriend just died and I need some time to grieve.

This got me a week paid off of work and although my bf didn't really die, after I caught him with my friend's mouth wrapped around his sausage, I sure wished he was!

My best was saying I had a dentist appointment to get out of a band lesson I had after school in H.S. I told my best friend's mom that I made that excuse, she called my mom and told her, then the lesson teacher called (call waiting beeps) and my mom backs up my lie for me. I swear, if it always worked that way I'd lie all the time. But I too am a crappy liar, I feel that begging for forgiveness is usually easier.

*I woke up this morning and my car was stolen!!*

I just told 'em I had to work.

And it was usually true!

To get out of a date:

My cousin just flew in from Israel and she's only here for the night. I have to spend time with her; I haven't seen her in ages!

Please note, I am 0% Israeli

"oh look! I think I've just spotted my high school friend jogging to that direction....!"(without waiting for a reply...just took off rollerblading away)

Successful tip for escaping blind date from hell: Meet at the jogging/rollerblading track. :D

I was actually already at work (big amusement park) when I was given a message from a supervisor that my brother had called and I needed to call him back. They gave me a number and I headed to a pay phone to call. It wasn't my brother. It was a guy from another ride complex, and he was at home. He had Van Halen tickets and wanted to know if I'd go with him. Only problem was I was scheduled to work a double. I ended up telling my boss' that my little brother had been hurt while roller blading and he couldn't find my parents. I had to go take care of him. The date was fun

I said it was a long day at work and wasn't feeling well, but the truth was I had another impromptu date since I was leaving on business for a week. In my defense, neither boys were boyfriends... I was just seeing people.

The boy I ended up going out with that night decided to take me to see my favorite local band and to my horror, the boy I blew off was there... BUSTED!!! But it worked out, the boy I ended up going out with is the boy I'm marrying a year from today!

I said I had a death of a family member in New Mexico and was on my way to the airport right that second and wouldn't be back for 2 weeks.

I'm the Queen of Subtlety.
