Lies, All of It

by

Today I take a break and do a meme from the very talented and lovely, I imagine, Lauren.

Meme Directions:
Write five things about yourself with only ONE of them being true. The other four are fiction, and everyone else gets to guess which one is not fiction.

1. I made it to the 3rd round of auditions for the second season of The Apprentice. Not enough experience, my Aunt Fanny! No, seriously, I think I didn’t get chosen because my butt was too big and my hair was too small.

2. I once had a warrant out for my arrest in the State of Texas. Luckily, I was too smart, fast and tricky for Chuck Norris, the ultimate Texas Ranger, to track me down.

3. I can play 10 instruments (not including the spoons, washboard and my belly button).

4. When I lose weight, the first place I notice it is in my feet. When I gain weight, the tops of them puff up like little hams.

5. I have lived in the Pacific Northwest for 3 years and have never used an umbrella here. It’s a good thing too, because mine’s broken.

Leave your guesses in my comments section and in 24 hours, I’ll post the answer.

I don’t love tagging people because a lot of people HATE the memes. If you hate the memes, no prob. If you like em, please play along. Here are a few of my newer blogging friends I’d love to hear from:

Anyone else who wants to play, consider yourself tagged. Please let me know and I’ll come and guess on your site. This was really fun for me. Me like games…..and cookies….me like cookies too.

    Given your wild and crazy life in high school, I figure it’s gotta be number 2. Just remember “The eyes of a ranger…..”

  3. Nancy says

    Cool, I always love a new meme — I’ll do it sometime today and let you know when I do.

    I’m guessing that #3 is true. But this is a toughie.

    (runs off to think of true and false facts for my meme)

  5. jessica says

    I suppose I’ll guess #4. No one lies about their weight, right?

    By the way, this meme also works as a really funny get-to-know-you game. We’ve played it a lot in the past, only with 2 truths and a lie – people had to figure out what you were lying about. Tons of fun!

    By the way, thanks for tagging me. (Oh and my readership – or commentors, at least – pretty much doubled when you mentioned me on Tuesday. So thanks for that too! 🙂 I’ll try to finish it sometime today.

  9. Mom says

    I’ve gotta go with #2. I’ve always thought you were smart enough to outwit, out-play and out-last anyone. Oh, wait – that’s a different show. We’re supposed to be concentrating on Walker, Texas Ranger here.

  11. HLH says

    I wasn’t really tagged, but in an atempt to be cool and liked I went ahead and did the new meme too…if anyone wants to look 🙂

  12. Caryn says

    I would be tempted to choose number four, since it somehow seems most plausible (not because I know you, but because I know that happens to some people). But I have a feeling you’re trying to trick us! 🙂 My second guess would be five. After that, it’s a tossup.

  13. MommyMaki says

    I’m guessing number 3. I can totally see you playing instruments and being in band in high school.

    If it’s #5, then I’m amazed. Don’t you ever leave the house then 🙂

  14. Goslyn says

    I’m guessing that it’s the one about your feet. Be great if it were The Apprentice one, though.

    Thanks for “tagging” me. I feel all special!

    Anyhow, I’ll have mine up in a few minutes. Come over and take a gander.

  17. Lauren says

    My son guesses it’s number four ’cause you gave a lot of detail.

    My guess is number two. Why? Because it’s something a “daring” person would have in their past.

  18. Tigersue says

    Okay,
    Mine is up. I’m going to guess number 5. How can you carry and umbrella and kids at the same time. I sure can’t.
    If it is not that one than #4

  22. Sweet Thing says

    I going to guess five, because that is true about me.

    But since you are trying to trick us my second guess is number one, because that seems like something you would try to do.

  24. Jessica says

    I am going to go with number 5. I am cool and I hate using umbrellas, therefore all cool people must hate using umbrellas (I totally get how this logic thing works).

    My list is up on my site.

  25. Nutella says

    I know I am probably a little late, but I guess number 1, just because I think you totally could have been on the Apprentice. For reals yo!

    My list is up too. Thanks for the fun game!

    The one about the umbrella. The first thing I learned when I moved to Tacoma was that umbrellas are apparently banned by law; they are used only to identify tourists who are then steered toward the latte carts and made to down multiple shots of espresso, all for the entertainment of the rain-soaked natives.

    Game on, girlfriend.
