You made it pretty easy Cheyenne, so thanks to you :))
No. 1 (I hope!!! :D)!No wait! I have a feeling that is a trick statement. Hmmm.
I will now guess Number 2...?
Hehehe. I saw that you did it that way!!! Did you see my comment Belly?
Can I guess again? harhar

Well I had actually put in No.1 and then went back on it when I realized number one said "Baths" and I figure you were trying to mislead.(And I am being honest!).
Oh okay! (Blush). Sorry.I was going to be silly if anyone thought I cheated and was going to say, "Hey I would never tell a lie! That is not what this game is about!!" :P
1. I read vampire novels while I drive.2. I watch Tobuscus vids.
3. I shower in a sunken tub.
Hmmm, No. 1
Though I'm tempted to go with 2, I know Kat watches those vids, I'm not sure if you do too.

He reads anything in French while driving, I think (if my memory is working properly)
Oh, my! Leslie has a good memory. No. 2 is the lie. I don’t watch videos of any kind. Years ago, I cut the pages out of two vampire novels (Entretien avec un vampire and La Moisson), and have been reading them, a few sentences at a time, ever since. I carry a few pages around in my shirt pocket. It’s poor fare, and I plan to switch to something better when my facility with French improves a little more.
I should have followed my instincts lol
The irony is that they’re American novels, and I had to go to some trouble to get French translations.(It took me three tries to post this. My Internet speed at the moment is 11 kb/sec.)
Belly, that is indeed a brilliant opening paragraph.
I haven’t read Interview with the Vampire. I have a copy in English that I go to sometimes when there are passages in the French that I just can’t figure out, but the novel is so badly written that I’ve never had the patience to read much of it.The Harvest is a novelization of the pilot episode of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series. Having seen that episode several times, I knew the story intimately and all the dialogue in it. When I came across the novelization of it and saw that the dialogue was verbatim from the script, it occurred to me to get it in French. I wouldn’t have to look up any of the dialogue, and it would be easy to decipher the narrative.
What you're doing is interesting, M. I don't have the patience to learn a language on my own. I was interested with Nihongo and Spanish before but never got the will to learn them.
I don’t have the patience, either, Leslie, and my attention is too scattered for me to make any kind of attempt that requires learning in a stepwise fashion, the way languages are usually taught. Instead, I wound up making sure that everywhere I turned, there was something printed in French, the idea (however irrational) being that if I looked at enough of it, sooner or later it would start making sense.
Have you tried writing a story or poem in French?
I don't find it irrational. Recognition memory? I'm not sure though but I think it's effective.

M, you might want to consider moving to Canada. By law, all items sold need both English and French labelling. You can gel all legal documents in both languages. Or come for an extended visit. You may find the wet coast of Canada, here in Vancouver, peculiar in contrast to the Texas dryness and heat.
*1. I have applied at over 20 places and no one has called me back.
2. I have dyed my hair 14 times in the past three years.
3. I am going on a giant cross country road trip in August with my best friend.
#1 I can't believe no one in 20 wouldn't call you back.
I'm going with 2. (I can easily believe the 20 applications without a response, and I know you're planning a trip.)
It is two. I've only dyed it nine times in the past three years.

Pourquoi gigglez vous? (Just practicing French.)
Sacre bleu!This is a pirate ship. There is no 'giving' up here, M.
That is good French M. That is at least better than anything I could do anyway.
Here we go:1.I plan on having up to 4 Clive Cussler books but don't plan on reading any of them anytime soon.
2.I have injured myself trying to karate kick my light switch to turn it off.
3.I have a birthmark on my hip.
Wow. Number 2 is the lie. How'd ya know?My dad won't like me telling this but when my dad was young, he actually did what I claimed to have done in message 853. He regretted it ever since because he cut his toe and ended up being sent to the ER.
Now that I think about it. . . my dad grew up in the very house that I live in now and the room I claim as my own was my dad's when he was little. I think that is a sign I have to be a "Grasshopper" and do my light switch kicking practice. Yeah. (Not really).
Just a wild guess, CJ yey!! lol
Still though. . . great guess there, Leslie. :)
Awesome. Hmm...I'd say number 1?
yey! lol I think I'm one of the very few people who like mayo.
I like mayo, particularly the kind with olive oil in it.
I like mayo too. And Leslie you are rolling with the answers! Lol. :D
