I saw this as a meme when I was journal-surfing. I liked it. I will now tell you 30 things and only one of them will be untrue. Comments will be screened for 48 hours as people guess which one they think is a lie. I will respond to the comments (And keep them screened) until the end of that period when the winner(s) will get some sort of prize to be determined later.

I want to believe that #2 is the lie, but I think it’s #26. Tough game, though!
Both are true, try again. 😉
6 and 11 seem a bit contradictory, but there’s plenty of room inside of you for contradictions. And I really want #13 to be true, so I’m not going to guess that.
And there are some scary ones in there that I wish weren’t true, but you’ve talked about some of what you’ve gone through in life, so I know some of them are.
I have not noticed number 10, so I’m going to go with that one.
Of course I am contradictory. 😉
Number 10 is true. Try again.
I don’t think I knew you hated to vacuum. Good for me to know 🙂
#24, if I’m remembering right. But I probably don’t really count 😛
And there are several others I just don’t know about you offhand. I didn’t know you swam outside the shark net in Australia, for instance.
Well, you are a big fat cheater. 😛
As someone who’s hair was dead straight until puberty, I definitely believe #21, but I bet a lot of people won’t. You say “dated” in #25; I’m willing to bet you can take that statement farther.
31 seems like a big number, so I’ll say #5. And, other than that, I’m not going to guess anymore.
Darn. Then you won’t get a prize. 😉
My guess
#15 is the lie.
Re: My guess
Nope, try again. 🙂
I recognize about half of them. So I’ll gamble that you don’t hate to vaccuum.
I hate to vacuum with a passion. It just makes me nasty angry for some reason.
I’m gonna guess #12.
Nope!
My guess, part deux
#9 is the lie.
Re: My guess, part deux
Grasshopper, you have much to learn
HA, another chance!
I am going with 21.
I’m gonna have to go with #11 just because it’s too simply declarative and thus looks like the odd man out.
And as far as #13, I wouldn’t stop you either. Thanks for more hot fantasies.
nope
4
I didn’t think there were that many…
Re: 4
nope
21. My hair was completely straight when I was a child.
I know I’ve seen pictures of you, but I think your hair was pulled back… But I’m gonna go with this one anyway.
Sheesh! Of course my hair was straight. You don’t remember hearing about the french poodle perm?
Uh, 11?
nope!
I do not know you that well yet *wink wink* but I think #21 is false. I knew a girl who had straight hair as a child and after getting her hair permed it stayed curly till this day. Although her curls are different than yours or I could be wrong.
Some really interesting things on the list I am curious which one is the lie.
-Gee
You didn’t guess the lie. All will be revealed soon…
#11
nope
No idea–but I’ll guess 21, just in case it puts me in line for a sekret prize!
nope, try again!
I’m going to guess that you don’t actually hate vacuuming. Dislike perhaps, but not hate.
🙂
In my M/s contract it stated that I had to do all household chores *but* vacumming. God I hate it.
Aw. No prize for me. q: I’ve at least known you long enough to know a good handful of them are true, I’d like some others to be. (: (Admittedly, #26 does not speak of a professional and upstanding authority figure but it still seems like something that might happen given the right circumstance.)
okay, 15 then?
nope! I’m enigmatic…
