No really, who the eff am I?

I tell my students that my goal in life is to be happy for the rest of my life.  I'll never be complacent again....

Liar.  

I moved to Florida from Mass at the end of last spring.  At the time, I thought, I can teach.  I like kids...  

Liar.

I have a problem in my life.  I like to lie.  A lot.  In every aspect of my life, but I decided I needed a place to let all the lies out, while telling the real story of who I am.  This is my safe space.  I hope.  

Big Lie #1:  When I was in middle school, I told my 4 best friends that I knew a famous rapper, and I had sex with him all the time.  They believed me.  And I ran with it.  They asked me what sex was like.  I told them that the movies did it all wrong, but I had no idea what sex was really like.  My friends wanted to meet him.  So I said, of course.  We set a date for new year's eve that "he" would come, and when he didn't, they told everyone in the school what an asshole I was, what a liar I was.  It hurt but it was true.  

Now, a 30-something, I still do it, but I'm much better at it, and I'm always on my toes.  

I miss my life I left behind, and hope I can make it two years in my new life, but I don't know if it will work.  I'll try.  (For realsies)
