Two Truths, One Lie.
I'm doing alright these days. Still a crispy critter from burnout, but I'm otherwise holding up. You don't have to apologize for being away, CJ. Taking care of your real life business comes first in many cases.
I'm doing well, i suppose. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my art class this semester! I didnt realize i would be so good at drawing real life human beings by just looking at them in front of me! Haha. But its entertaining and really improving my skills.Health wise, not the best. But I'm well overall :)
Its been so long since I used goodreads...wow, I miss this place
1. I play records on a phonograph made in 1919.2. Most teenagers want a car; I wanted a go-kart.
3. All my pants are blue jeans.
My turn!1. An overwhelming majority of my T-shirts are Pink Floyd-themed.
2. I wear sweatpants every day.
3. I wear a fedora whenever I'm out in public.
Ding-ding-ding! You got it! Hats make my head itchy. Otherwise, I'd probably wear it all the time.
One of my favorite games to play as a kid was...1. Boggle
2. Guess Who
3. Hero Quest
Hmm I was gonna guess a certain one but I'll say... 2 is the lie?
Bzzt! The lie was Boggle. I probably would have liked it if I played it, but it wasn't available to me at the time. Guess Who and Hero Quest were.
I guess I will go next!
Yours helped inspire mine. Here we go...---
Board games I used to almost literally destroy as a kid were:
1. Clue
2. Chinese Checkers
3. Hi-ho Cherry-O
How did you know, lol? I swear we didn't have Chinese Checkers until I was old enough to follow the rules. And a funny note is I used to put the plastic cherry pieces of Hi-ho Cherry-O in my mouth. You know what fruit I never ate when I was a kid? Cherries. Why did I try to eat the fake ones though, lol? (I did not actually eat them though, just put 'em in my mouth).
Damn it, now I want to drink Cherry Coke Zero...while eating a slice of cherry pie...haha!My turn!
Whenever I played Super Mario Brothers 2 as a kid, I enjoyed playing as...
1. Luigi
2. Toad
3. Princess Peach
I will say the lie is 2 Toad!
Ding-ding-ding! You got it! I liked Luigi and Peach because of the way they jumped, which is more than I can say for Toad.

I played as Princess Peach almost every time! Her ability to float for a few seconds was such a huge advantage, especially for big pits and barely anything to land on!
My inspirations for Stories from the "Dead" lands interestingly came from these:1. I was watching footage of Project Zomboid.
2. I thought of a character in a vulnerable situation that was both literal and symbolic of what she went through.
3. I was rocking out to White Zombie.
Yep lol! I thought the video game thing would throw people off. i usually come up with stuff on a walk or reading something, not from watching a lets play online haha!
Aside from all that, you don't seem like the White Zombie type. Haha! My turn!Of all the vacation spots I've been to in my life, my favorite is...
1. Paris, France
2. Victoria, Canada
3. Lego Land, California
I'm guessing Legoland. I can see it as an inspiration for some of your fantasy art.
The lie was Paris, France. I've never actually been there before, but I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy it if I went. :)
We love Paris, off the beaten track, it can be abit 'touristy' at the famous landmarks but there's some amazing places to discover if you get a good guide book. We found a famous nightspot frequented by artists and poets such as Picasso, called 'Lapin Agile' it was mad - watch out for the free cherry liquor they serve, its abit strong! I'm abit jealous of your lego land trip though, I love lego!
1. I’ve been to Paris but not to Rome.2. I heard the space shuttle Columbia as it came to pieces.
3. I’ve seen every episode of Downton Abbey at least twice.
Hmmm, tricky, I think number 1 is the lie?
The lie is #3. I’ve never seen an episode of Downton Abbey. (Well, and although it’s true that I’ve been to Paris, I didn’t mention that it was Paris, Texas.)
Ooooo, that was a good swerve, M! Paris, Texas. Haha!
M with wordplay for the win! :D
You're welcome M!Also I know this is kind of an unofficial rule in this game (I think anyway), but Nicky you can go next if you want!
Oh, okay, hmmm let me think.... How about this,I have recently built...
A) A 15ft Caterpillar
B) papier mache Tyrannosaurus Rex
C) A witches cauldron big enough to fit a human in.
I’m guessing C, as well. It’s the only one that doesn’t have a constructed animal.
Nope, I did build a witches cauldron big enough to fit a human being in, complete with fake glowing coals and human bones. I don't know what the neighbours thought while all the skulls and bones were hanging up outside my garage to dry!
Nope, I also made a 15ft long cattipillar puppet for a local carnival, I made a Butterfly puppet aswell with huge sail - like wings. The theme was regeneration and renewal, for local businesses after the pandemic, it was a tricky theme to translate into carnival puppets!
I never did well on tests with multiple-guess questions.
I’ll take a turn.A. I’ve fed cigarettes to monkeys.
B. I’ve rescued a snake that had fallen into a well.
C. I’ve kept tarantulas as pets.
Yay! Is it my go now then?Here goes
I have accidentally...
A) Dyed my hair bright green
B) spilt peanut butter into my sneaker on the way home
C) Shoplifted a haircut
I can't believe I almost forgot about this game. How are you guys doing? (And sorry for my absence... again).
