I thought that icemilkcoffee's post was so much fun, that I decided to play it too, in the hopes of catching up with Brian (beep beep!).

In no particular order:

  1. When we moved from Montreal to Toronto when I was young, the plane we were supposed to be on crashed and everyone died.
  2. I tied my brother Pierre up to a chair when I was 8 and he was 3, and then pushed him down the stairs.  This was part of a "spy" game I had designed, and I was torturing him.  Maybe excessively.
  3. I danced ballet from age 3 - 15, until I discovered I hated it with a passion and quit suddenly.
  4. I was part of a private audience with the Pope at the Vatican when I was 13.
  5. My mother and my MIL tried setting my husband and I up on a date when we were 15/16.  I would have eaten his geeky ass up alive!
  6. I used to work in a smoke shop in my teens and on our breaks, my girlfriends and I would sneak the dirty magazines to the back room to eat pilfered chocolate bars and oggle the naked girls.
  7. Despite being fluently bilingual, I failed grade 13 French.
  8. By Grade 13, I had been in 10 different schools.
  9. I wanted to study Veterinarian sciences but didn't have the math grades to make the cut.
  10. I lost my virginity in my sleep at 18.
  11. I drank bourbon with Sarah McLachlan while high on acid for the first time in my life.
  12. I have 2 tattoos, one on each shoulder as well as having a nose piercing.
  13. I worked as a bartender in a strip club when I was 22.
  14. I've had one lesbian relationship and identify as bi.
  15. My parents divorced after 25 years of marriage and I began having major anxiety issues and panic attacks just before my 25th birthday.
  16. I desperately want a third child but my hubby's had a vasectomy.
  17. My kids have a hyphenated last name, one of which is French and the other is Japanese, despite them having not one drop of Japanese blood.
  18. We had everyone dress up in costumes for our Halloween wedding.
  19. "Stairway to Heaven" was the last song played at my wedding.
  20. I haven't a single penny in retirement savings, nor do I own a home or a car.
  21. We keep our tree up all year long and just decorate it seasonally for fun.
  22. In 2 and a half months, my hubby and I are going on an all-expenses paid trip to Hawaii for a week, and we are NOT BRINGING THE KIDS.
  23. I'm a natural redhead who occasionally dies her hair brown.
  24. I had a one-night stand with Jeff Buckley and cried my eyes out years later when he drowned in the Mississippi river.
  25. I'm 1/16 Iroquois, through my mom's side of the family.

why DO these wonky numerical lists cut off the first digits once we hit 10?? quel horreur!
Whew, and I thought the 25 list and 100 words were hard. You have set a very high standard! Bravo!!!!!!!
rated for excellence
Gosh, I hope number 22 is a truth.

tons o' fun. thanks!!
okay, 22 has been identified as a truth :)
I'm weird and twisted enough that I'm hoping that #6,11, and 13 are true.
From earlier posts, I'm pretty sure #18 is true.

I'm waiting to see the tattoos...

And I think we're even, but that still means its your turn, road runner...
Coyote, #6 & 11 are true (though I had them as secrets), 13 and 18 are false. The only 2 costumes at the wedding were us, and we went as bride and groom :P
Hehehehe, I really like this!!!
I call shenanigans on #24. Jeff Buckley drowned in the Wolf River.
LOL

In theory, it could be true. It does run *into* the Mississippi.

(thumbified because I like not knowing truth from fiction sometimes)
okay smartiepants, #24 only happened in my dreams but I did cry my eyes out when he died. THAT SAID.... he did sign my CD liner "in love and eros" and it's probably worth a fortune :)
I agree - a real loss to music in my opinion. Not a small loss to the female population at large, either. Supercool that he signed your CD liner.

I'm a veritable fount of useless information, you'll find.

Great post!
I choose to think of all twenty-five of these things as true (well, maybe not the one about losing your virginity in your sleep). And now none of them are secrets. Tee hee! Fun reading. You are delightful.
Sadly Rick, that's one's true and no longer a secret. I guess it would be a post in and of itself if I ever wanted to relive it (not).

Happy Friday, everyone!
I don't know if #10 is true or not, but even if it's a lie I want to hear that story (provided it wasn't a trauma)!
Great post- your lies are more interesting than mine!
