Two truths and a lie

Post Reply New Topic

Thank you! btw I was able to learn juggling quite easily and I did well on my performance. Strangely, I have no recollection of which soliloquys I spoke. I think they were all Romeo & Juliet.

1. I moved back with my parents for ten months after graduating (including my one month trip).

2. I continued to take / audit British Lit. classes just for pleasure, at the local University. During this time I was offered a job grading papers for a prof who could barely see.

3. I published my Brontë thesis through Oxford Press, and it is available for purchase at the Brontë parsonage.

This is a hard one lol....

I’m thinking you didn’t stay 10 months with your parents...perhaps you stayed longer?

1. I've been away from home for nearly 3 weeks.

2. I've had to deal with one person being suicidal.

3. I've stolen something before.

4. I did not properly end the one relationship I had.

You’ve had to deal with more than one person being suicidal?

Most people unfortunately have.
I agree #2

I recently started to like Brussels Sprouts.

I used to not like them because of their shape.

I’ve always liked broccoli.

Like Bush 41–#3

I have always liked broccoli. It is true.

You just might still hate Brussel Sprouts.

I like them now.
It was their texture not shape that kept me from eating them for decades.

3 is my lie. I could only dream.

I was wondering where that Lilac Aroma came from

1. A professor once told me I am eminently publishable.

2. I won the prize for the best GPA in my major, Class of 2006.

3. One of my professors said I needed refinement in my grammar (not in so many words).

A howling good morning to you, Kortie!


I think 3. You were a superstar, otherwise.

Nope. It's #1. The professors thought that I was "good for a returning student"---but they really didn't think much of my literary abilities. I was respected in the classes---but I wasn't seen as being a "star" in the Sylvia Plath sort of sense.

A professor (a friend of mine) wasn't really that impressed with my grammar.

It's funny about language.....if I were to tell Isabella that she "exudes lilacs," she would like it just fine; but if were to say that she exhibits an "exudation" of anything (including lilacs), she would probably be insulted.

I've always wondered why we've never published a "dictionary of connotations."

Not at the same time (in fact both instances were years apart), but yep.

Hmm... what else to come up with...

You're good with your hands. I'm sure you have stories pertaining to what you've fixed (or maybe what you've broken while you've tried to fix something )
