By The Way...

Hearing Doll -- Foo Fighters


I think we've done this before -- or something similar to this -- but it's been long enough now that I think we can risk a repeat, and besides, it's a fun way to get to know a little bit more about each other:

Weekend Assignment #181: Present three facts about yourself. Have two of them be true. Have one of them be false. Encourage people to guess which one is the false one. When do you reveal the false one? On Monday, in a new entry (I'll be linking to your original post). You'll get two visits for the price of one!

Extra credit: Have you lied about something today (aside from the Weekend Assignment)? You don't have to say what the lie was. Just whether you've lied today. Little white lies count.

Here are my three "facts:"

1. I am allergic to angora rabbits. They make me swell up like a balloon. I used to say I was allergic to blueberries when I was a kid, but that turned out not to be true at all.

2. I get embarrassed for fictional characters when they do something stupid. If I'm watching a movie where I know someone's going to do something that will make them look bad, I will often mute the scene or leave the room until it's done.

3. If you want to drive me up a wall, slurp your soup. Really, it's like nails on a chalkboard for me. I once sent Athena to her room for slurping her soup after I told her to stop (I later apologized).

Now: Which of the three above is the lie?

Also: Yes, I lied today, aside from the lie in the entry. It was a little lie, but still. I was a lie. I'm a bad man.

Your turn: post two truths and a lie to your Journal or Blog. Then come back here and leave a link. Then visit the other folks leaving links and try to guess their lies as well. And then on Monday: All will be revealed! It should be fun.

  Yes, I know I'm late, but it's still technically a long weekend right?

  I'm guessing the allergies are fake.  
  
  And here's the link to my truths-and-lie:

  Your angora rabbit is making *me* sneeze!
  
  I think #3 is false.
  
  Your turn: http://boliyou.blogspot.com/2007/09/weekend-assignment-181-two-truths-one.html
  
  Thanks as always for the prompt. Great fun!
