Open Call - Two Truths, One lie - Allie Griffith

Location: Memphis, Tennessee,

Bio: Writer, game developer, artist. Also raconteuse, dilettante, and passionate advocate. I've been called an angel of wisdom and I've been called a judgmental idiot. Sooner or later I'm bound to say something that you disagree with; feel free to tell me your side of the story. I listen to other people's opinions and have occasionally been known to concede that they might have a point and alter mine. I use too many semicolons and I have terrible taste in music. I'm the sort of person who thinks it's more telling to mention that than that I'm married and had a foster daughter but she's grown now. By objective standards, my life is probably a disaster - no health insurance and a chronic illness - but my happiness quotient is the highest of anyone I know. Sometimes I tell sad stories but please don't let them make you sad.

Open Call - Two Truths, One lie

Rate: 12 Flag

I once dislocated my shoulder while rollerblading down the ramp of an elevated parking garage.

I saw an angel when I was five years old.

I was almost expelled from high school for smoking pot but the school board called a special meeting and changed its "no tolerance" drug rule specifically to allow me to accept a suspension instead of an expulsion because I had won the state Latin contest and it was in the school's brochure.

These are tough ones. But I will go by the first one as the lie.

The last one made me laugh out loud. It's such a rich, long and funny sentence. I want to believe you saw and angel...so therefore, it's number 1 which is the lie. And please tell your angel story soon, if you haven't already.
