Two truths and a lie

I would say the answer is #2.

I have a hard time rocking on a hammock; I don't find hammocks to be stable enough.

You're right. I don't have a hammock. I sleep on my stomach and I get dizzy from rolling sideways, which hammockery would promote, I assume.

1. I've read a famous work about the Yanomami in the Amazon.

2. I've read a famous work about Samoan people.

3. I've read a famous work about Vietnamese Hill Tribes.

I'm sorry to hear that. lol. They all sound very challenging. I have no idea so I'll pick #3.

#3 is correct. I would like to go to Vietnam some day, and sleep in one of their tree houses.

I loved the work about the Yanomami----though it became controversial later because of the anthropologist's research methods.

Margaret Mead, who wrote about the Samoans, wrote in a very accessible style.

The hardest class I ever took was Anthropology. It sounded interesting but it was brutal. It was more about the scientific methods of carbon dating artifacts than it was about the actual people. We read a yellow book by a guy named Bruce Trigger. It was the closest I came to academic suicide. I found it extremely, extremely difficult for some reason.

1. The first email I ever wrote was to an associate whom I had a mad crush on, and later dated.
2. I didn't have a mobile phone until 2010.
3. I have never used Twitter (nor do I want to), and I don't really understand what it is.

I would say #1 is the lie. You don't seem that "forward" with men. I'm sure any guy would be flattered, though.

Paleoanthropology was one of my "special interests" when I was a kid.

One time, when I was about 13, I lied about the reason why a kid was in my apartment one day. I told my mother's boyfriend that he forced his way in. When he threatened to call the police, I recanted my story. I was a lonely kid. He wanted something to drink. So I gave him something to drink.

The punishment: taking away my Time-Life book about Neanderthal Man.

1 is true. I wasn't forward with men, but he emailed me first for a legitimate reason. I replied, which was my first email exchange. I was head-over-heels (an unnatural sitting position for me), for years with him. Apparently he felt the same, but
I didn't know because I've always been oblivious in that regard. Our attraction caused significant scandal for people around us because it was an unlikely match.

You didn't have a mobile phone until later than 2010. Should have known that! LOL

1. I stopped hanging out with my best friend because he started writing graffiti.

2. This friend was my age.

3. I saw him last when I was 17.

#3 - when you last saw him

I did see him for the last time when I was 17.

2 is my lie. I actually didn't have a phone until 2010, but I did have a pay-as-you-go one for a month or two in the late 1990s. I seldom used it.

2 for you.

Correct. My friend was 2 years younger than me.


1. I hated it when my friend would get ice cream money from his mother----from their 6th floor window.

2. I accidentally hit my friend with a baseball bat on his mouth while pretending to play golf.

3. I enjoyed playing Batman with my friend more than I enjoyed talking to the old ladies on the park bench.

That was swift on the part of both of you!

How’d you know I’d like talking to the old ladies?
