Answers to the lie meme

40cakesFirst, the lies, since they are mistruths and have no fun stories attached to them:
3. My mother is my father's previous wife's cousin, making my half-sisters also my third cousins. (See, the key to this game is that everyone EXPECTS you to have boring things as lies, so you have to make the lies so outlandish and bizarre that they MUST be true, or make them so boring that why else would you lie about that? [see item 12])
4. I had sex in that back map room in the Rowan library. (Sadly, no.)
9. For $5 at Theta Nu, I ate a dried-up worm from the sidewalk (I was drunk! And poor!). (Happily, no.)
12. I have a green thumb - I can grow anything. (See? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. I actually have what my mother calls "A Black Thumb," as I can kill anything.)
14. When I met Oprah, I told her I was proud to sorta kinda be working for her, and she was a very inspirational human being. She said, "Thank you, Cassie, that's good to hear." (emphasis mine) (Never met Oprah, but I don't doubt she'd instantly forget my name.)
And now for something completely different:
1. I am a mutant - I have no wisdom teeth.
Born with none. I am teh evolved!
2. I once walked around the Deptford mall dressed as Space Ghost and took pictures with children.
Totally true. I was paid to do it as part of a part time job I worked in college, for those of you who now think me a crazy pedophile. And it was a full-body suit, as worn by those who dress up as popular Disney characters at those theme parks, so no confusion of "Mommy, why does Space Ghost have boobies?"
5. I'm a hemophilia carrier.
One of the reasons I'm an only child (inherited from my mother, who was happy for a girl and didn't want to test her luck with another kid in case she got a boy), and one of the reasons I'd like to stay childfree.
6. I went out with my first boyfriend based solely on his yearbook photo.
True. I had just moved to New Jersey, and we were staying with a family friend for the few days before the 1st of the month kicked in and we could move to our new apartment. Family friends have a daughter my age who was shocked and amazed that I didn't have a boyfriend ever ever, and decided to set me up with someone from her school.
7. I was once bitten my a mosquito on my eyebrow, and the poison swelled up my entire left eye.
Gross, yet true. I was 6 or 7, staying at aforementioned family friends' home for a brief visit (we were living in California), and woke up, went to my mom, woke her up, and said, "Mommy, I can't see." Mother was understandably freaked the fuck out.
8. I sat in the front row of a Moxy Früvuos concert, where we were subsequently teased for raising the roof to "Johnny Saucep'n."
True. Sigh. If only the boys would come together again so I could see them just one more time.
10. In the first grade, they transferred me to the fifth grade English class.
True. Private school to public school is a strange transition, especially when you're a snotty spoiled brat such as myself. "Mommy, the other kids here are stupid - none of them can read! Or speak French!" Funny thing is I can't remember a lick of French now except for "Le chet is sur la table."
11. I once hung upside down on the jungle gym at school for five whole minutes. My face turned red and I almost passed out.
True and boring. Thrown in there just so people would think it's a lie. I'm a tricksy hobbits, I am.
13. Despite my hair being naturally curly, I decided in the 8th grade that I wanted my hair to be extra curly, and got a perm. I looked like a poodle. With braces.
Was sorely reminded of this when my mom found a bunch of old pics of me this past weekend. DEAR GOD. If you ask nicely, I might scan the horror.
15. I was born in a rich area of California and now live in a poorer area of New Jersey. Whoo.
Yup. How the rich and mighty fall.
