We're going to do something short and simple this week, but it's something that I think will be super fun. Let's play the game Two Truths and a Lie!
In case you haven't played before, (do you live under a rock? Or under The Rock? That'd be weird.) here's the basic instructions: everyone has to come up with 3 statements about themselves; two statements are the unadulterated truth, and one is an all out lie. Then we all guess which statement is the lie.
Since we're aren't all on the blog at the same time (Hey! There's an idea. Why don't we schedule an actual blog party and all come at the same time and chat? I'll bring the white chocolate popcorn.) you'll need to come back a few times. You'll want to guess other people's answers and then you'll want to come back sometime late Wednesday or on Thursday and tell us if we guessed right.
Many of us have never met, and some people we only see face to face once every few years, but we've all gotten to know each other here on the blog--which is very heartwarming and very awesome--so we should all know enough about each other to tell who has their pants on fire, right? And ... if you do know someone so well that you instantly know their lie, just skip theirs and place your bets on the other lists. OK?
Here's my list:
1. I chipped a tooth eating a candy bar I'd left in the freezer and was too desperate for chocolate to wait for it to thaw.
2. I skinny-dipped in mixed company at a family gathering. Clothes and towels left lying on the lawn were stolen by a tricky trickster.
3. I gave a friend a bottle of hairspray to use even though I knew it wasn't really hairspray but instead it was greasy skin lotion. Her hair looked like an oil slick. She didn't laugh.
Your turn. Come on and lie to me!
23 comments:
I'm voting #3 is a lie.
1. I absolutely love spicy food. The spicier, the better.
2. Even though I'm married to a helicopter pilot, I have still never set foot in a helicopter.
3. I have never seen the movie the Notebook.
Lori, I'm going to vote that your #2 is a lie, only because I think you think we all would think you would actually do that, but really you didn't. But you would if you had the chance. Ha ha :).
Here are my 3:
1. I sang Over the Rainbow as a solo in front of my whole school plus parents in third grade at an evening concert. When I curtsied at the end too many times, everyone laughed, which made me stop, cry, and run off the stage.
2. I have watched all ten seasons of Smallville three times through.
3. Someone once paid me $400 to sing a mezzo soprano role at a concert of the Mozart Requiem...and I'm actually a high soprano, not a mezzo.
I think Nicole's #3 is a lie.
Lori: I'm gonna go with #2
Nicole: #1
JazznJenna: I'm guessing #1
Here are my three:
1) I'm a MAJOR Twilight Fan. I love love love the movies and could watch them over and over and I've read all of the books multiple times.
2) Spring is my favorite season. I love how bipolar mother nature can be!
3)Salt and vinegar chips are a favorite treat of mine.
With Jenna I vote #3. I believe it except for the $400.
Anne- I vote #1. I know she's read them, but I don't think she loves the movies or is a major fan.
This is harder than I thought it would be! You guys are foxy. :)
Nicole: Me thinks it's #1("Was this chicken marinated in hot lava?")
Jenna: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect. I'm guessing #1.
Anne: (I'm seriously stumped. You're good girlfriend.) I'm going to go with #1.
If I'm right, everyone puts their lie first so they can feel like they've repented by telling the truth twice. :)
Lori: #3 (I could see #2 actually happening)
Nicole: #3 (I buy it because I'm a female and haven't seen the Notebook)
Jenna: #3 (I have no idea what a mezzo soprano is so I accuse falsehood.)
Anne: nu-uh gangster, I'M a major fan of Twilight so I say #2 :P
1) I love color-coding things. (I use specific colors thinking wit will help me understand but I really just like all the colors[and pay no attention to the time it takes])
2) I was in drama all four years of high school (well I guess 3 1/2 years because I missed a semester for cancer treatment)
3) At one play there was dead air for a while because I forgot that I started the scene (they thought I fell asleep) and in another play I "woke up" and was trying to stand and fell on my butt and practically burst out laughing (they called the intermission early so everyone could ask me if I was ok.[sorry that was a long one])
For Anne, it's a toss-up between 1 and 3, I guess #3.
For Devree, I guess #2. If you're like me, you might have been chicken about the stage for awhile, but then finally got your courage up later during high school (for me, I didn't try theater stuff until college though!).
Devree: I am stumped. It's either #1, #2, or #3. I'm 99% certain. OK, I'm going to just go with #3. Phew. That was hard.
Lori, did I have anything to do with #s 2&3?
Nicole, I think you're too nice to like spicy food. That's your falsehood.
Jazzn, you have watched Smallville more than 3 times!
Anne - you HATE spring because it's so equatorial/polar
Devree, I'm gonna say that you do love all the colors, but you don't color code things.
And Lori, I don't believe that any of yours are false.
Oh, I almost forgot my stories:
1. I found an unconscious man in a field one day (the one day I didn't have my cell phone with me!).
2. I walked several blocks through crowded SLC on my way to the YW broadcast with my skirt tucked in my tights.
3. I'm the person behind the google search "embarrassed naked sister." But don't do the search!
Paula I think #3 unless it's really Shawn then I say #2 because I don't think you'd wear tights in crowded SLC. ;)
Paula: I think I know you too well to guess yours, but it's like Devree said: I can't imagine you wearing tights, unless you had them over your head while robbing a convenience store. Booyah!
(I'm actually in bed 'cause it's past my bedtime, so my mom is typing out my answers for me).
Here are my 2 truths and a lie (not necessarily in that order):
1. When I was a little girl my favorite book was Pinkalicious. I had my whole left leg colored with a pink marker before my mom caught me.
2. My hair comes down to my waist, or just past it. I plan to grow it all the way to my feet and then I will donate it to Locks of Love, having it cut just above my waist.
3. After moving from Oregon I kept two friendship bracelets on my ankle that were gifts to me for over a year.
(Sorry--since I'm actually asleep now I can't make guesses on everyone else's...maybe I can do that tomorrow? We'll see if Mom gives me time on the computer to do that. I know I'll have to get my chores and practicing done first though!)
P.S. Please don't think my mom's crazy for pretending to be my secretary ;)!
Didi I think #2 is your false hood just because I personally would go CRAZY if my hair was that long but that's coming from a bald chick.
Alright It's Thursday and now I will tell you all the truth; my lie was #2. Jenna you were right but not exactly. I wanted to be in theater all through middle school and have never had stage fright. However, I only had drama for three years(2 1/2) because during my senior year I took AP Government (which I hated and now wish I could have taken drama) which was at the same time as Drama. So that's the truth. the third thing(s) DID actually happen to me. Well off to college again!
My lie was #1--Lori got it right. I did sing Over the Rainbow solo at the evening concert in 3rd grade, but there was no embarrassing moment involving curtsying and crying at the end of it.
I have watched all 240ish episodes of Smallville exactly that many times (I'm still counting all the partial episodes 'cause sometimes I fall asleep before hubby does). We'll probably start our fourth go around after I get through Friends again (this is my 2nd time through).
I did get paid $400 for singing an alto/mezzo role--it was my best gig ever! Next time I hope it's for singing in my true range though, 'cause that would be even more fun. :)
Didi and Paula for both of you I'm going with #2
My lie is #1. Sorry Devree and you other Twihards.... I will admit to liking the 1st book. I read the rest because I liked the mind candy of the 1st book well enough and was super disappointed and almost didn't read the last book but ended up reading it. I decided long ago never to watch any of the movies.
I love Spring but not necessarily the bi polar changes of it... I just through that in there to be a little more tricky :)
Lastly, Salt and Vinegar chips are delicious!!!
My lie was #1- I'm the biggest wimp with spicy food, much to Steve's dismay. I don't even like hot tamales (the candy) or red hots. I wish I did though, it would open me up to so many more foods!
Didi: you have your own personal assistant? You lucky girl! Can I hire her too? I'm guessing #2 is your lie, because even though you love Rapunzel, you don't want to be just like her. And Jenna--give Didi more free time so she can play on the computer! :)
Devree: Darn you--you fooled me! I will never trust a bald chick again. (That totally cracked me up!) Good luck back at school! Hope it's warmer this time around!
JazznJenna: See--I couldn't imagine you ever crying after a performance, even if you were in the 3rd grade! Did you get fooled by that Friends rumor that went around this week? Sheesh, you can't believe anything on the internet!
Anne: I know you so well! It's like we have the same blood running through our veins! Love your description of spring BTW.
Nicole: Your taste buds need to man up! Start feeding your baby salsa at a very early age so she won't go sissy like you. :) I love hot tamales, but have you had those giant ones? I can't handle those, they make it feel like my mouth is getting blisters!
As for me ... My lie was #1 AND NO ONE GUESSED IT!!! Do you guys really think I'm that big of a chocolate fiend that I would damage my pearly white-ish incisors? Sheesh. I think I should be offended. As for #2, I don't want all my relations to worry about what happens after everyone is in bed at family reunions. It happened with the in-laws and it was the blackest of nights. Although I think there was a full moon .... And #3, Yes Paulashawn, I think you WERE involved. I thought it would be funny until I saw what it did to her hair and saw the look on her face. I felt like dirt. I was very immature--like 14ish. But Paula, you were older, like 15ish. You should have known better! :)
Well, I'm too late to give my guesses on everyone's lies, except Paulashawn, who hasn't given hers yet. I think the google thing isn't true,even though we know it should be!
Here are my stories:
1. As a teenager, I drove a charter bus down the freeway.
2. I won a first place trophy for my part in a team mini triathalon.
3. I can do a hand stand and walk the full length of a gym.
Janice! Hello stranger! I'm guessing it's #3, although I would love to see you try. BTW, I don't think you got in on the arm-wrestling action last summer, did you? If you say you can do a hand stand that long, I'm thinking you would have beat Ryan.
Janice, I think your man could walk the gym on his hands, but I think you have more class than that.
And Lori, how did you chip your front tooth then? I've never had the nerve to ask you.
The woman in the crowd in Salt Lake wasn't telling me my skirt was tucked in, she was noting that I had a skirt on and must be headed to the broadcast, so could she follow me to it? But she really gave me a scare!
If you are dying to know about #3, look at the early days of this blog - I think about embarrassing moments.
Paula: I seriously just went to the mirror to see which chip you are referring to. Feel good about yourself now? (We know I don't have chips in my teeth from biting my tongue!)
Thank you for directing everyone to my all-time favorite blog post. "I'm So Embarrassed." It's your claim to fame Paula!
Hi Lori, I'm back! First, without looking, I'll guess which of your three things is a lie... I guess #2, because that doesn't really sound like something you would do. And, #3 is...well, everyone does something like that sometime.
For mine, #1 is false. It was my cousin who did that when she was three. #2 is true. I am hoping to grow my hair that long and donate it to Locks of Love. #3 is true. I got two friendship bracelets from my friends in Oregon for my 10th birthday right before I moved away, and only just recently I took them off (I just turned 12). They reminded me of my friends. I don't wear them anymore because they looked kind of funny under my church socks.
I think I'll guess on a few others (without peeking at the answers).
These are pretty much wild guesses.
For Nicole, #3
For Anne, #2
For Devree, #1
For Paulashawn, #3
For Janice, #3
Thanks, Lori! This was fun! Now I'm off to read the answers.
