Two Truths, One Lie.
I think three is true ... I'm going to guess one is the lie.

That must be nice.
I bet you do. Some people at school wear so much make-up, I swear they got a job at the circus as a clown. I'm sorry, but I think it's really unnessecarry to wear a hundred tons of make-up every day.And the answer is number two. I like One Direction, but they're not my favorite band.
1. I’ve never taken girls to motels and signed in using pseudonyms I had published poems and stories under.2. I’ve spun a car off an Interstate bridge.
3. I’ve had an intimate conversation with a woman who was later murdered.
#3 for Alex and . . . #2 for M?
Alex, #2 is the lie. (You’ve mentioned where you live several times in the threads.) What instruments do you play besides piano?
Okay I'll make one final one for me:1. I have gone to Disney World five times and soon this year!
2. My band teacher has said I can hit notes higher possibly than the entire school district!
3. My uncle is related to Davy Crockett.
In an early January, many years ago, in two-degree weather, I was stupidly driving up the new Interstate about seventy miles an hour in my Fiero, trying to get where I was going before the bridges froze. Mom was with me. It was sleeting and snowing. The car went into a spin on a bridge, didn’t hit the railing, but when it reached the far end of the bridge, it met the not-yet-frozen pavement sideways. The car sat so low to the ground that it didn’t flip. Instead, it catapulted, still spinning, down a long embankment of high grass, into a valley between the highways. It all seemed as though it were happening in slow motion. Miraculously, we came to a stop without hitting any trees. As we sat there, unable to see out, the car covered with frozen grass, I looked at Mom and wondered if we were dead. The lazy spiral cut into the hillside by the car was visible until late spring, when grass overgrew it. Amazingly, I managed to drive the car out of there, though later I had to have part of the car’s frame bolted back together.
Now that song about the Edmund Fitzgerald will be playing in head all afternoon.
LOL, Al!!!1) I gave myself purple highlights last night.
2) My great-uncle was the guy who wrote the play Grease.
3) I used to have a giant bald patch on the back of my head.
LOL. Interesting family you have there, Alex.Number 1, Kyra?
I thought you thought Nestor Carbonell was the sexiest man alive.
1. I misplaced my car once and didn’t realize until days later that I had lost it.2. I got thrown out of a legal writing class for making fun of the way the teacher spelled.
3. I’ve watched the news more than half a dozen times since I was in junior high school.
Yeah, mine was number one...Um... 3, M???
Kyra and Edward got it! I quit watching television, except on rare instances, in 1974. Having said that, I’ll admit that I made exceptions for Star Trek and Black Sheep Squadron reruns, and a few movies, and that I watched the entired Buffy series on DVD in 2005, and a couple of seasons of Angel not long ago.
Notice that none of us thought you weren't thrown out of a legal writing class.
Haha. Yeah, for some reason I found that one really believable. But how did it take you days to realize you lost your car, M?
#1 was the lie for me.I've never been to Disney World even once! lol.
How did I lose my car? It would be easy to explain to me, but to someone with common sense, it might not be an easy story to buy. I had a very long childhood. I loved being home with my parents and usually didn’t in the least mind their running my life. I liked the kind of life they had led, and that was the kind of life I wanted. That was how I ended up with Aunt Jean’s car. It was a Pontiac Phoenix, a hatchback I detested.While we were hurriedly launching boats, one of the girls on Baylor’s sailing team had backed my car down the ramp and into Waco Lake, but that hadn’t finished it off. She had driven it right out. Not long afterward, the locking cylinder in the ignition had stripped out. You could start it without key. It had been a nice car. Aunt Jean and Uncle Robert had a lot of money. It wasn’t a car I cared about, though. It was what got me to sailing team practice and, on the weekends, home.
For most of the three years I was at Baylor, I worked for the dean of the graduate school. There wasn’t much need to drive anywhere, other than to sailing practice (the lake was northwest of town) or home (227 miles east). I drove home most weekends. It was a 500-mile round trip, so I learned to study and drive at the same time. It’s a habit I’ve never lost. I still read while I drive.
Anyway (as Alex would say), I had been in a hurry one day to get to the dean’s office, so instead of going on foot I took my car. When I got there, there was no place to park, which wasn’t suprising--there was never a place to park near the library or graduate offices--so I ended up parking at an apartment complex nearby. As usual, after my appointment with the dean, I had gone back go my apartment on foot. I forgot about it until days later, when someone on the sailing team told me that a car like mine was parked at his apartment complex. I think I shook my head and shrugged, but not long afterward, when I went out to get in my car, it wasn’t there. It took me a few minutes to put two and two together and figure out where it was.
Lol. Okay. That makes sense. Hahaha
1. I played D&D last week.2. I enjoy the Sound of Music every time.
3. Next week I shall see the Avengers.
This one should be easy.
Edward I will say 2. And hey and what if you don't get to see The Avengers next week. Then it would not be true!! lol. jk.For Alex. Number 2 as well.
I can’t stand musicals. So I think #2 must be the lie.
Alex (Al) wrote: "I say it a lot."I guess. I don't find it annoying.
Al, my guess would be number 1.Edward, I'm with them on this. Number 2.
Whoops. Apparantly it's harder than I expected.I thoroughly enjoy the Sound of Music. I did not play D&D last week; I ran the game. It doesn't really qualify as playing as it mostly involves people yelling at you and frantically trying to things moving without slamming through continuity and pacing. It also doesn't help when one of the players is a brat about one enemy (out of the dozens they've fought) that happens to be perfectly geared towards destroying him. It's ... a lot like work. Fun work (sometimes), but it isn't playing unless you play a character.
Yup.I own:
1) a cell phone.
2) the latest version of Apple laptop.
3) one of those cheap plastic necklaces from Great America.
Number two.This is gonna be easy, Kyra. You know me too well.
1) I have over 30 yellow rubber ducks.
2) I love watching flames.
3) I own flannel sheets.
Alex, I'm sorry. This was a while ago, but... you do NOT cook in the nude! Lol! :/
Hey, I dance when I'm home alone. But, I still wear clothes, so there was really no point in me telling you that...
Nope! The last time I ever wore make-up was Halloween, and I don't remember ever wearing make-up other than that. Some people think I do, though- I have a natural blush that some people confuse for make-up.
