Soooo. A month ago, I was tapped as a bald faced liar Creative Writer. The strikethrough was fortunate because I had just finished growing a luxurious Short Boxed/full beard (The Chin Curtain speaks to me, though). That's right. It only takes a month. Some guys get all the luck. And the hassle of constant grooming. Not to mention razor burn.

But on the the award!
It looks like my prevarications, er, skills are evident to all.

Das Rules:
• Thank the person who gave this to you. (Danke to Loren Eaton of I Saw Lightning Fall.)
• Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
• Link to the person who nominated you.
• Tell up to six outrageous lies about yourself, and at least one outrageous truth - or - switch it around and tell six outrageous truths and one outrageous lie.
• Nominate seven "Creative Writers" who might have fun coming up with outrageous lies.
• Post links to the seven blogs you nominate.
• Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know you nominated them.
