It’s the old “Nine Things About Me That Are True, and One That Isn’t” meme. Members of my immediate family are not allowed to play. Everybody ready?
- I got a tattoo for my twentieth birthday.
- I have had blue hair.
- I can do a cartwheel.
- I have never broken a bone in my body.
- Despite being my high school valedictorian, I actually failed a class my senior year.
- I am one quarter Korean.
- I can juggle.
- I have been skydiving.
- I saw “Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace” eight times in the theater.
- I have made a quilt from scratch.
Okay, which one isn’t true? Let the guessing begin! Answers will be posted in a day or so.
No. 8 You haven’t been skydiving
I’m going with #4, you’ve never broken a bone. Only because I haven’t.
i haven’t broken a bone either! coincidence? i don’t think so!
i’ll guess #5 isn’t true, although i’ll be very impressed if it is. i wasn’t anywhere near first in my graduating class yet only “allowed” myself one B+ the first half of senior year and two the second. i have a hard time believing that anyone driven enough to be valedictorian would let themselves fail, even if they did deserve to slack off.
#3…not because you can’t, just because you’re sassy enough to realize that riot-grrls like yourself wouldn’t be caught DEAD doing such a cheerleaderish thing.
howie – first off, got home safely. melbourne was fabuloso… thanks again sooo much for a great time in sydney. second, i agree w/ bridget on picking #5. the only other ones i’m not certain are true are 3,4, and 10. are we right??
#8 is my guess!
I guess three or five. i know you’ve been skydiving, I think… with the Weasels? For some reason, I can see you not doing a cartwheel (I can’t either – at least, well! I think it is a skill most lose as they age), or that you flunked somethin’ and would still beat out the rest of your class for valedict/ that you would get it changed (the grade). Speak to us!
Are all the guesses in? I’ll give it a few more hours. 🙂
Ive been working too hard so just logged on so my vote is no4

(If you’re looking for more fun, I just realized that Brigita‘s doing this on her site too.)
The only one I know is true is the Korean thing. But I’ll go for the sky-diving.
how could you fail a class and still be #1? what, they didn’t take second semester grades into consideration? i’ve never broken a bone, either… well, i mean, i guess 2 fingers in football count… do they?
I’m going with #9. You don’t strike me as a masochist.
I agree with Ron – number 9 ain’t true.
I shudder at the thought of having to endure Jar Jar Binks 8 times in Dolby Surround Sound.
No, not a masochist, Ron. But I’m stubborn. And as I’d already laid out $40 for a home-made Queen Amidala costume for the premiere, it took me a while to acknowledge how crappy the film really was. But hey, I was trying to make it beat Titanic, you know? 🙂
