#4: All of my boyfriends have been Methodist.
Only my two serious boyfriends were Methodist. One of the others (not actually serious, but still official) was non denominational and I have no idea about the other 2.
#3 On a FFA trip, my teacher once got jailed overnight because a package of bone meal (used for the pigs) was determined by a highway patrolman to be a giant bag of cocaine.
The funny thing is, this actually happened to my hsuband, not me. I was never in FFA. But apparently cocaine and bone meal (or blood meal, I forget which) both turn red when you add water to them, so the cop was justified in arresting the teacher. I mean, at least he'd done a test. Was a huge issue at the school, trying to get the paperwork done to rehire the teacher, since it looked bad that he'd been arrested for cocaine possession on a school-funded trip, even if he was innocent.
A lot of people guessed the cow carcass, but that one was actually true. I spent more of my growing-up years trespassing on various fields and forests around my house than I did at school. The next year, the carcass was still there (and picked completely clean) so I hauled the skull home for a friend's mom, who collected such things. I also collected spiders, scorpions, tarantulas, and various other creepy crawlies.
To those who guessed the turkey vulture, that one was true, and irritating. That cave was an awesome clubhouse. Imagine our surprise when we hopped in, only to flee, yelping, as an angry mother vulture (with a hastily-seen nest of eggs) chased us right back out! We unanimously agreed that she needed it more than us, and never went back. The fact that she was tall enough, even standing on the ground, to take most of us in a fist/wingfight had nothing to do with the decision. That, and she smelled TERRIBLE, and so did the clubhouse.
I haven't watched all six of the Star Wars movies back to back in one sitting... yet! Kudos to Anne: Mother of Three & 35 Drums, and GroovySabrina.
#1 I had to go to night school to graduate high school.
It is a technical lie. I did, in fact, go to night school at Kimball HS to graduate from high school at an earlier date than anticipated. It was not a necessary thing, as my statement implied. I was the only girl in night school who was not a mother. It was very educational for me!
And Kristen! You never knew me when I was young and beautiful and had LOTS OF FREE TIME in my life. But it was my job that led to the authorship of the paper. 1991 JBC in my maiden name.
#2 - I once spent the night with American Indians partaking in a peyote ritual.
I always thought this would be a cool thing to see. My mom saw one once. Props to Amanda and Alicia for calling my lie! I believe peyote rites are still legal for native peoples.
Yes, I was on the spelling team in high school. I know, I know.
And yes, my family tells me I used to run around barefoot on the family farm whether there was cow manure or not. Part of the shoe-hating thing.
Ah, and as for the zoo, a friend had a slumber party at the zoo in high school.
I forgot to address the long division. It should have been my first clue in life that I am truly odd. I love long division!! The day we learned it in school was this miracle day for me! It was so beautiful and all the steps were so nice and neat and made sense and I loved checking the answers!! The only other times in my life that I have had the thoughts "This is beautiful and amazing and I did all this work!" were the days that I gave birth to my children. Yep, you heard me! Long division and childbirth are in the same realm of fabulous, super cool things!! But long division does not make you fat, nor does it need to be fed.
And I do not know my right from my left. That is a very confusing concept for me, but if you give me directions by NSEW, I am never confused.
#1: While piloting a gondola in Venice, I dropped my hostel key in the canal LIE!!
The Asker and Alicia have guessed correctly! Good work, Gumshoes.
For those that guessed drug running in Missouri and are still reading this comment, here is the story:
My car was in a fender bender but the "auto maintenance" fund was empty, so it had a considerable amount of silver duct tape holding the hood down and the bumper up (the dirt held itself on). This being day 2 on a 4-day DC/TX road trip and the "hotel" fund starting at 0, I was camping along the way and hadn't showered or shaved. My hair needed a cut, and I was driving shirtless to work on my tan. I admit, I must have looked like an alcoholic at least.
None of this was drug runner evidence to the officer, mind you (this is Missouri, after all). The real evidence, so it seems, was that I was driving with Texas plates. I was informed that drugs coming into the great state of Missouri typically come through Texas. I was let off with this simple warning: "Never do drugs, they could mess you up."
As for the midget: I have seen his 3 foot body of steel in as many times since then. I think he's following me...
amanda, brother-in-law, and anne were correct. #1 is the lie, as i cannot actually brush my teeth with my toes. i've never even tried.
i have no piercings or tattoos. i'm not scared, i just don't want a tattoo and i've never been able to get my ears pierced. i've always been in some physical activity that requires no piercings. however, i'm really interested in getting my ears pierced now. i think at 25, it's about time.
once i was riding on an airplane on a connection from charlotte, nc to houston, and a former NFL player was sitting next to me. he let me wear his super bowl rings (he had four, only wore two at a time). one was a ring from the broncos; tiffany setting, worth $47,000. yeah, it was a good flight.
and finally, i've never been a girlfriend. dated people before, but i can't seem to keep one around long enough to actually get to the title... hmmm....
My car was only towed once, not twice.
my lie is that my mom was never the crazy cat lady. the most cats we have had at any time was 2, and at some point one of them had babies but we didn't keep them for very long so that doesn't count. but it was never as high as thirteen.
i've never INTENTIONALLY dyed my hair green or maroon, but they have turned out that way. the maroon was an obvious bad color choice, intending to be red. the green was a by-product of crappy home coloring and swimming way too much. it had turned a VERY noticeable green after two weeks of swimming everyday in a large pool with lots of chemicals. i shampooed my hair more times that you know and had to do some crazy stuff to get it to look halfway normal.
and as far as traveling, it's true, i haven't been anywhere west. even when i marched drum corps, we never went anywhere west. i've been all over the eastern side of the united states, but not the west. :( i'll get there someday!
