Just a little icebreaker for those in the newbie group (and anyone else)!
Here's how this works: think of two facts (truths) about yourself, and one lie (something that isn't true about you or your life). Post them both here.
When you reply, take a guess about which of the previous posters things were the two truths, and which was a lie, then post your own two truths and a lie...and so on, and so on.
I'll start!
• I grew up in Chicago
• In high school, I once rode the subway wearing a lobster suit for a day-long gig promoting a seafood chain
• I am secretly a giant fan of the band Guns N'Roses
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead
I'm gonna...call bluff on.... the roller derby one.
Alright, my two truths and a lie:
- I loved "The Catcher in the Rye"
- I'm a real cat person
- One of my funniest stories I have personally experienced involves a partner ejaculating into a Santa hat
I disliked Catcher in the Rye, so I refuse to believe someone liked it
My two truths and a lie:
- I attended a Catholic all-girls private school as a teen
- I've had a lot of pets, including a newt named Tommy
- As an English major, I really appreciate the classics of literature
"The question is not who will let me, but who is going to stop me." - Ayn Rand
haha! Funny you should say that, because a lot of my smartest, most well-read friends didn't like Catcher because in their opinion it was pretty much "a white boy complaining about things all the time". Sadly I'm the black sheep and really really love that book! I'm not a cat person. I'm a dog one . But since you don't like Catcher.. I might call bluff on the enjoying classics of literature..
I really, really want to believe that you got to meet Neil Patrick Harris, so....I'm going to call lie on hating the taste of black licorice.
Here are mine:
-I didn't start talking until I was almost 3, but when I did start I spoke in complete sentences.
-I can't whistle.
-I've never read any of the Harry Potter books.
"Where there is power, there is resistance." -Michel Foucault

Unfortunately not, I am actually quite terrified of praying mantises. Haha! I am not afraid of any other bugs though (except maybe roaches, not really afraid though just grossed out.)

This is a truth!
So, the lie was about standing in line for concert tickets. Although, I will say that one time I did stand in line for about 20 hours for a Harry Potter book.
Here's my list:
I once won a state-level vocabulary competition
This summer, I discovered a talent for LARPing
I own a book signed by my favorite astronaut
Sorry Kaizen, I DO actually like instrumental rock music! My favorite band in that genre is If These Trees Could Talk.
Now, I don't actually have an evil cat, nor any cat, for that matter! However, I do have a small, badly-behaved dog, and one of her nicknames is, in fact, Fuzzbutt.
The cat named after Rupert Graves is a lie - he's named after Rupert Grint! I guess if y'all knew I had a cat called Rupert that would have been a more convicing lie...
