Think about it. Doesn't everyone inflate their good qualities (or make up a few, if the need arises)?
I think everyone is a bit hypocritical at times -- even *** gasp!!! *** me!!! I know, I know, you're all shocked and horrified to find that out, but sadly, it's true. I am not quite the perfect person you've all come to know and adore. I realize that I have shattered your innocence with this admission, but sometimes the most important lessons in life are painful.
