A Little Poetic Lisence, please?

I am prone to exaggeration. In the middle of a big fish tale, I often take the liberty to mention that "it's not true, but wouldn't it be cool if it was true?" My good buddy told me recently that it was very clever of me to admit to the exaggeration... then when I really say something, they'll know I will tell the truth if what I say is stretching it a bit.

However, sometimes I describe affectations of other's minds, not thoroughly seeing or understanding the motivation behind them. The risks one takes when writing things down on papar (or in this case, glowing electrons), is mainly that of being misunderstood.

So descriptions are accurate unless otherwise noted. But even more than that.. my impression of things others have shared... are like telling second-hand gossip. Your words plus my preconceived notions. I'll be kinder if you can be more understanding, eh?
