Two truths and a lie

Post Reply New Topic

We weren't in the US but it wasn't much better, by all accounts.

I like three so I hope it's true. lol.

Maybe 2. No one had any money.

#3 is the lie. People didn't just roll over and play dead. They went on with their lives.

Gotta stop with the seriousness LOL

1. I had a 2013 Hyundai Sonata, and it was a great car.

2. I had a 2015 Hyundai Sonata, and it was a great car.

3. I had a 1991 Hyundai Excel, and it was a great car.

#3. You just don't seem like that kind of kid....you're more clever than that.

The other two were actually great cars---the 2013 and 2015 Hyundais. I leased each car for three years. No mechanical difficulties whatsoever!

I now have a 2018 Hyundai Tucson, red/orange.

1. William Carlos Williams was considered a great poet.

2. He was a medical doctor.

3. He became Library of Congress Librarian.

Actually, 2 was false -- it was actually the punctuation marks that I cut out. They kinda looked like objects you would twirl around, especially the question marks and exclamation points.

3 was true, although it was out of character for me. I remember it was around lunch time in the science classroom, but I can't remember if it was before or after I ate. I was feeling unusually hyper, and was not using proper judgement that maybe I shouldn't be doing that.

That's still funny
I recall going through a Christmas toy magazine (I can still smell the coloured pages), and circling all the things I wanted from Santa, using pen. One of them was an inch-worm riding toy with wheels. I didn't bookmark the pages and my parents were upset -- they didn't want to search through 100 pages to find my choices. I didn't get the inch-worm.


Best gifts ever:

1. A life-sized, stuffed, cartoon crocodile who lived under my bed to keep me safe (I think he was from a carnival)
2. My Raggedy Ann doll (in home movies I'm jumping and flapping in excitement while my brother points his new, toy rifle at my head -- I'm entirely oblivious to what's going on)
3. My Miss Piggy puppet with hair I could brush, saved for and bought with my own money

Are those all true? Or is one a lie?

If one is a lie, I would say #1.

I miss me some Isabella

She comes up with amazing things.

They're eccentric---but they are not absurd like Franny and Zoey.


1. I first read "Catcher in the Rye" when I was about 16-17 years old.

2. I liked the Holden Caulfield character at first----but later on, I felt like he needed some decent guidance; after all, he is still a teenager in the book.

3. I haven't read any other J.D. Salinger work.

Technically, it would be 3, since it's not a gift if you bought it with your own money that you saved up.

1. When I was younger (probably not even 10), I used to hum for one of two reasons: the vibration would feel pleasant on the roof of my mouth, and at times I would try to match the pitch to a sound such as an exhaust fan to get the sounds to kind of "mingle" with one another (there's a name for this sort of effect, but I forget what it is).

2. While they weren't too often, I would have these moments where I would zone almost completely out, and I've said strange things that made no sense while in that state. It seemed like what is known as Petit Mal or absence seizures, but not quite because I did have some level of awareness, it just seemed like thinking while in the middle of it was like trudging through quicksand.

3. I was once out of school for 2 weeks when I came down with a bout of bronchopneumonia. I slept a lot through the whole ordeal, and had a persistent fever, sometimes reaching 103°f.

...sometimes I wonder what that one teacher saw in me ages ago, and others I think "right idea, wrong disorder...?" I don't even know at this point.

#3 is the lie?

Correct. It was 1 week, not 2. I guess I over embellished a bit.

1. With the exception of 6th through 8th grade, I went to some sort of "special" school.

2. I was arrested once for singing opera on the subway steps.

3. I've been known to howl like a wolf and meow like a cat on the subways. But I've never neighed like a horse.
