Taken, in a moment of kleptomania, from mokseph:

Make a list of 15 statements about yourself.
* 5 of the 15 statements must be LIES
* Post your list and have people guess which five are lies! UPDATE/EDIT: Lies have been marked.



I like vanilla ice cream more than chocolate ice cream.
I love to shop for clothes. Lie -- I rather hate shopping altogether.
I like to name things.
I can't stand the smell of incense. I love incense, except for the fake perfumy stuff.
My idea of fun is getting soaked to the skin in a rainstorm.
I read packaging labels.
I really like to read cryptic posts that are in-jokes that I don't understand. Lie
I am 5' 9'' tall. I'm actually around 5'3".
I have a fetish for scarves.
I'm a picky eater. Such! a lie. I probably like a lot of things that would make you say "ew".
I like snakes.
I have a tatoo of a feather.
I'm a night person.
I am a natural brunette.
I can't ride a bicycle.

It feels really uncomfortable to make false statements on this LJ, even for this purpose.

I'm thinking the lies are that you like to get soaked in rainstorms, that you can't ride a bike, that you're 5'9" tall, that you like to read cryptic posts with injokes you don't understand, and that you like snakes.

How'd I do?

actually...

I do like rainstorms and snakes, and I can't ride a bike! I also hate shopping for clothes, like the smell of incense quite a bit (especially temple incense), and I am not a picky eater. {snickers more} That was fun! Thanks for guessing!

Re: actually...

*boggle* - you can't ride a bike? But... then, what did your mom send you outside to do when you were inside complaining you were bored? :-)

I had a really hard time guessing, but I suppose I did not too badly. Okay, now you go guess me!

Re: actually...

My mom just sent all of us outside to the back yard. We were expected to find something (non-destructive) to do, creatively. I guess it worked...

Everyone else in my family can ride. I've had 3 different people (friends) try to teach me. {shrugs} Like everything about me, I'll probably be able to do it when I decide that I need to.

I'd do the Mapquest thing, except that they don't allow for Asia.

[spazzychic.livejournal.com]

Try this instead:

Look up a flight from the closest airport to you in Asia. They list the milage usually, and the hours.

Then do the directions from the States based airport to your house.

Add together.

*I like vanilla ice cream more than chocolate ice cream.*

I bet this one is a lie.

strangely enough...

[butterflydrming.livejournal.com]

Chocoholic that I am, I still like vanilla best. Guess I'm just being contrary. {smiles teasingly}

Re: strangely enough...

[elihice.livejournal.com]

Mmmph, fooled me.

*blink* I pass my childhood home all the time. It's like fifteen minutes away.

[butterflydrming.livejournal.com]

And you just moved out of it recently, right? Or it was sold? Something like that?

Wanderlust is in my bloodline; we moved a lot when I was a kid, and I've kept moving as an adult.

I'm torn between 'like to name things' and 'snakes'...

[butterflydrming.livejournal.com]

I love to make up names for things. I had a few made-up languages as a kid that I especially liked singing in, too.

And I've always liked snakes, muchly.
