Sounds rather boring, actually. To each their own, I suppose.
I think lies are rather like beauty, they tend to be in the eye of the beholder. Just because someone lies, doesn't mean they don't believe what they're saying after all. Or maybe that they just want to believe it. Either way.
Things have just been too quiet lately and love, even the temporary kind, tends to make things more interesting.
*laughs* No. There is really no such thing. I read people, by their voice, body, movements and, mostly, their facial microexpressions. It's a science, and I have a firm where we do that for law enforcement and private clients.
Nothing is without explanation, of some kind or another. However, if you are asking me if I believe in tooth fairies and Santa, then I would probably say that is explained by parents who have too much time on their hands and not a very good grasp of concrete child raising.
*eyebrows lift, slightly* Right, well, what can one say about a fat guy in a red suit, who hangs out with little kids on his lap, elves and shiny nose reindeer.
Ah, right. My daughter, Em, found a photo of me baked in the jungle with a tribe, purely research, mind you. Unfortunately, it was while I was punishing her for having a wild, drunken party with a hundred of her dear friends, in my ex's house, while she was away. So, who am I to condemn anyone for indulging?
However, I hear it causes wrinkles. Might want to be careful, there, darling.

That's not love, love. That's hormones. I've got an ex-wife, I know the difference.
