Fifteen sentences. Ten are true, five false, though two of those are kind of true. You pick. I'll let you all know on Sunday, probably. (I was right. This was scary to write.)

1) I first met my husband at the age of nine weeks.
2) I have served shots at a strip club.
3) My sisters have both served shots at a strip club.
4) I am deathly allergic to cottonseed oil.
5) Practically all jewelry makes me break out in a rash.
6) I got the best massage of my life on Christmas Eve 1993, from an American in France.
7) I once rode on the back of a scooter in Florence.
8) I have French grandparents.
9) I possess a bound edition of a weekly French newspaper chronicling the first six months of WWI.
10) My book collection exceeds two thousand volumes.
11) I wrote my first book at the age of eight.
12) I visited or lived in eight provinces before my sixth birthday – but not a single state.
13) My great grandmother was an ordained minister.
14) I am the only member of my immediate family never to play a brass instrument. (Elizabeth excepted.)
15) I have written letters to the editor defending creation science.

I respectfully request that family abstain from answering this until friends have had a chance to do so. It’ll make it more fun, since you have a MUCH better chance of getting it right.

I'll give it a go.

I don't know why. It's a thing I do. My great-grandmother was the first licensed private investigator in the state of California, and I believe the US. Maybe it's genetic?

Is this because you listen/read really well, or because I talk/write too much, or because you're a good guesser, or because you really know me this well?

You're wrong on two. :)

Yes. It's late. I counted wrong the first time. But I'm sure now. :)

If you're really good and promise to bake me cookies when you come, I'll tell the stories behind the more outlandish ones. Not that any are outlandish compared to some lists I've read.

I promise to bake cookies, or brownies. Stories are even better than chocolate!

Better? No. Stories and chocolate are both better in the presence of each other. :)

Stories to follow.

You're not referring to mine are you? :))

I'm Canadian. Can I plead the fifth?

Seriously, I have a lot of friends who've done some crazy stuff in their time. Yours ranked with the best, but it didn't top them.

Feel better now? :)

Honestly, I don't know whether to be pleased or disappointed.

Then be pleased. It feels nicer. :)

Sorry, you only got one right. :)

I wanna play!

I guess the following as false:

3) My sisters have both served shots at a strip club.
8) I have French grandparents.
9) I possess a bound edition of a weekly French newspaper chronicling the first six months of WWI.
10) My book collection exceeds two thousand volumes.
13) My great grandmother was an ordained minister.

You made it a little trickier since you said two of the false ones are only partly false. But I guess I was guilty of that with one of mine too.

I don't think I'm allowed to play, but as [livejournal.com profile] velvetpage is at a 3 year old's birthday party (poor her!), I'll give you a hint and let you know at least two of the above are actually true :)

Thanks for the tip! I'll keep trying.

E-mail me with your guesses and I'll tell you true. :)

I really want to know which two you know for a fact are actually true. I'm really curious.

working the logic.

Making the assumption that #3 is true, logic dictates the following are false:

#2
#7
#8
#10
and either #6 (best massage) or #11 (wrote a book) - I'll go with #11, just because I think you're being sneaky. :)



I may have made one more assumption somewhere along the line . . . I don't remember. How'd I do?

You're up to three correct.

Of course I'm being sneaky. Isn't that the point?
From: [identity profile] paka.livejournal.com
Either 2 or 3 is false, but not both; 5 and 12 are false; 11 and 15 are the ones that are kinda-true?
From: [identity profile] velvetpage.livejournal.com
Your first statement was correct. You were wrong on everything else. Sorry, come again!
