blather/contest: Eight Truths and Two Lies

Suggested by nos4a2no9, here are:

8 Truths and 2 Lies About Arrow00

Guess which are the lies and which are true and the first two who do win a story (if they want it) in either of my fandoms. I write in due South and Sentinel.

1. Arrow went to an all-girls' school where in her first week she got into an altercation with Heidi Glickbarg, who called her "a carpenter's dream".
   
2. Arrow's older brother once glued her eyelid shut.
   
3. Arrow writes poetry.
   
4. Arrow is afraid of horses.
   
5. Arrow doesn't own a dress.
   
6. Arrow wore black to her brother's wedding.
   
7. Arrow has a medical condition that causes her left hand to tingle and sometimes itch uncontrollably.
   
8. Arrow went sky-diving to get over her fear of heights.
   
9. Arrow won second place at a Kodenkan Jiu-jitsu Rondori tournament.
   
10. Arrow plays the flute.

Five and, uh, ten as the lies?

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

Alas, I don't have a single dress or skirt in my closet. And I do play the flute, albeit poorly. But thank you for participating, etcetera!

Let's see if I can keep my streak alive by guessing completely wrong yet again...hmm...I guess 6 & 8.

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

You broke your streak!

[meresy.livejournal.com]

Hmmm . . . 3 and 8?

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

A lot of people picked 8. You have to remember, tho, I live in California where extreme sports are a rite of passage. If you don't do something insanely dangerous at least once, they kick you out of state.

[vsee.livejournal.com]

OK, at the risk of sounding really stupid, what does that insult even MEAN? *g* Hmmmm. I guess 4 and 8. Your list is more interesting than mine .

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

Hey, your link doesn't work.

[iadorespike]

Oh. Oh! Hee! Glad for the elucidation because, yeah...I didn't get it either.

[vsee.livejournal.com]

Huh....live and learn. Either that one is regional, or I am sheltered, or both. Heh. Honestly, I was all like...carpenter, hmm, and picturing some wholesome guy with strong arms in a plaid shirt and ripped jeans, and thinking...union labor, good with his hands, short hours, handy around the house. *g*

Sorry about the link

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

Well, when you put it *that* way....erm.

::off to dream an AU with Fraser as a carpenter::

Horses scare me! They're so damned big and LOOMING.

[starshine24mc.livejournal.com]

I'll have to guess 1 and 8. I love the idea of someone named Heidi Glickbarg, but is that even possible in real life? *LOL

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

I think that's how you spell her name. Hopefully, she won't google this and get pissed. :)

[iadorespike]

I'm going to guess #1 & #4. ;)

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

no, it's true. Heidi, btw, was built like a TRUCK.

[iadorespike]

Truck...hee! She was just jealous! I don't know why you seem fearless to me, but I thought you might be a rider. Horses are big and scary to me too, though I have many friends who ride.

Though I thought that #2 might be true - I never thought that your brother did it on purpose, but it seemed very possible that it had happened. *g*

I know - I was wrong with both of my guesses, but it was still fun to guess, and it was fun to find out the truth, too.

On a personal note as to the black wedding attire...at (one of) my sister's wedding, I know at least three of us (other sisters) wore black. In my family, it's just considered an acceptable neutral. ;) It's possible that we are quite strange. LOL

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

See, as far as Greeks are concerned, wearing black (if you're not already a widow) invites DEATH to come calling.

I've been riding once in my life. I prefer to stay far away from the big creature that could hoof me in the forehead.

See, as far as Greeks are concerned, wearing black (if you're not already a widow) invites DEATH to come calling.

This is something that I did not know, so I can really understand your POV (and your mother's) now. Oops.

And yes, horses big. :(

*hugs*

[qe2.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna guess 3 and 9. (I think you won first place.)

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

Thank you for your faith, but I did come in second. Still, it was a huge, all-weekend competition, so I was quite proud.

[malnpudl.livejournal.com]

I'm going with... #3 and #7.

I'm trying to recall what you told me about "I Put You There" and I think I remember correctly who did what... but if I got it wrong, I'm going to feel rather silly. *g*

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

I didn't write the lyrics to "I Put You There," but I wrote many of the lyrics we performed. And I do write poetry, but it's really not printable. :)

[ignazwisdom.livejournal.com]

Whoa. I'm going to guess 4 and 8, even though I have no clue, just because I love playing this game.

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

Skydiving was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. At a certain point you become so afraid you are actually high and gleeful.

I would do it again but it's goddamned expensive.

[dodificus.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing #2 and #5 are lies.

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

You are half right. :) Please see today's posting for your prize.

[j-s-cavalcante.livejournal.com]

4 and 5

*takes shot in dark*

Actually I have trouble believing most of people's items. :)

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

I'm learning fascinating things about my friends!

[(Anonymous)]

I suspect that #4 and #10 are lies. If #10 is true, however, we should jam!

[nos4a2no9.livejournal.com]

Gah, that was me. I fail!

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

I'm not good enough to jam on the flute, but I will bring my ukulele to Toronto when I come. :)

I didn't know you played!
