Must we read a blog based on lies?!?

Hark! I hath been taggeth. So the dealio is that I am supposed to write five interesting facts about myself, but the catch is that one is made up: a lie if you will. I really can't imagine that I'll be able to think up anything you people haven't read on here already, but I'm willing to give it a try. BTW, I still haven't found anyone to help me with my template problems. I'm looking for volunteers if anyone cares to pitch in. So here we go.

1) I really hate playing Scrabble. It was my mom's favorite game when I was growing up and she always made me play it with her. I hated it, I don't think I'm good at it, and to this day I pretty much avoid any kind of game involving scrambles of letters. I really like Life. I'm a simple sort, I guess.

2) I once knew a guy who believed that he had been called by God to restore polygamy to the Earth, and "God" (or the voices. whatever.) told him that I was to be his number one wife. I had to say a big NO to that one. He recovered quickly. I guess when "God" has a whole passel of women lined up for you, there really are plenty of fish in the sea.

3) I once had a huge crush on a guy named Yoshi. (It was short for Tsiyoshi.) Now every time I think of Mario games, it reminds me of him, and I smile a little.

4) Once when I was a kid, there was a cotton mouth snake at the bus stop and one of the older guys killed it. They then put it down where the bus would drive so that the bus ran over it and squished it. It was gross.

5) When I was in first or second grade, I had a parakeet named Cindy, whom I loved like crazy. At least once a week when I came home from school, mom would tell me that Cindy was dead, usually that the cat ate her or that I left the cage open and she got out and ran into something. I would always then run crying to my room to find that Cindy was perfectly fine. Then one day, Cindy really did die, probably because of a draft or something, and I didn't believe my mom when she told me. I was so shocked when I went to my room and she was laying on the bottom of the cage. I was hoping that she got in on the joke somehow, but apparently not.

So there ya go. Which is the lie? I hope it's not too, too obvious. :)

OOH! I know! But I'm not going to answer cause it feels too much like cheating.

He was wrong, just FYI.

PS-I forgot to tag people. I was going to tag Kiera, but she, along with just about everyone else has already been tagged. I don't think that Andy and Shemsi have been tagged, so. . .TAG!

Huh? I have? I think the parakeet is the lie...or the snake...one of those. ;)

Margie the Pickle Princess said...

Nope. The parakeet one was Josh's guess too. You can't blame him, as he was an infant when it happened.

I hope that #2 is true, because that's hilarious.

And, what's wrong with your layout? Aside from the fact that your background is too small for bigger screen resolutions.

Holy CRAP! My blog is fixed! Veronica's a miracle worker! You should have come to look at my blog earlier, Veronica, it would have been fixed ages ago. Actually, the sidebar was down at the bottom for some reason, and I had my boyfriend (who's a programmer) look at it and although he could find what he thought the problem was, he couldn't figure out how to fix it, and apparently it has now fixed itself. And I only look at my blog on my screen, so I didn't know that it's too small for bigger resolution. If your screen has a bigger resolution, that would explain why your blog has the left side of the text cut off on my screen. :)

Damn. Now I hear that it's still messed up on my boyfriend's computer. WTF? Anyhoo.

And no, #2 is not true. Well, it's true, but it didn't happen to me, it happened to a good friend of mine before I met her. And the guy thought that he had been called of God to restore poligamy to the earth because that's what his DAD told him. FREE-KEY! So you can still think it's hilarious, only when you picture it, picture a different girl in the scene.

Veronica said...

Yeah, mine is meant to work at 800 X 600 and up. Yours appears to be for 1024 X 768 and down.

WOOT! I win. I've actually been through FLDS-Land. Colorado City. SCARY. SO VERY, VERY SCARY.

Margie the Pickle Princess said...

Veronica said words and numbers. tee hee!

Yeah, those crazy fuckers give all us normal people a bad name. That is of course, assuming that I am normal, and that could be a stretch.

its four isnt it?

Margie the Pickle Princess said...

Cainnum, I already said it was 2. Pay attention, dude! :)

Raine: I have watched the first three disks of Xena. It took me a little while to figure out what was going on because they jumped in feet first. And I will, but it might be a while.
