So, as it's been a while since I've been on the Lit (and I miss it) I'll play.
I live in Toulouse, France (where they make that big plane that pisses off the people at Boeing). I've been an immigrant twice, once at the age of ten when I moved from New York to Scotland and then again about ten years ago when I moved to France. I've been a biker for 20 years and I played the roles of Eddie and Doctor Scott for 4 of them in the Scottish Rocky Horror picture show cast.
1) For a long time I worked in computer Security as a Penetration Tester. I've trained with and/or worked for the CESG, the Police (UK), the Military (NATO) and several Private sector companies. Ten years ago I was offered a nomination to the Bugtraq (council??) run by SANS - That's The people who say what gets classed as a vulnerability and what does not. I declined.
2) I find it impossible to write when I'm in a relationship. I should be more present now.
3)I am currently looking to move to a house deep in the french countryside where I can get away from everything and maybe even get some writing done. I almost just took one in the Pyrenees, but didn't because I realised I would be snowed in and unable to reach work (Barman) for several weeks every year.

I feel like everything up to being nominated for the council in #1 is true, but the rest is a lie, because I can understand #2 (I can't write happy stories, so my boyfriends don't get to have anything written about them until we're over) and #3 just seems really normal to me...

No, that still counts!! My lie was a half-truth, too. I started smoking when I was fourteen-ish, but I said it was when I was eleven. I thought that's how the game worked!
Strange Photon
from Fort Wayne, IN is reading Laurie Anderson lyricsApril 12, 2013 - 6:51pm
Actually, I thought I specifically said in the OP that the lie needs to be a real lie, and not something like "I'm wearing green shorts," when you're actually wearing orange. Splitting hairs isn't really an element I wanted in this - but honestly, I didn't really care how close we stuck to any of it other than the idea that we all had a little fun getting to know each other without bloodshed.
Of course, there'd be a little bloodshed when I am forced to harvest some ears (or fingers in the case of Moon who requested to keep his ears) but I'm exempt from the rules.
Honestly, I don't even know who has how many points anymore. I think I'll just pull a winner out of a hat.

Courtney
from the Midwest is reading Monkey: A Journey to the West and a thousand college textbooksApril 13, 2013 - 12:55pm
OHHH, I thought that post meant that we shouldn't make our lie about something no one could possibly know (unless they're stalking us.) Like, whether or not I'm wearing pants (surprise! I'm not!) or what color my dog's collar is (orange). My bad!
H.I.Marcuson
from Toulouse is reading a book on spellingApril 13, 2013 - 5:31pm
I have very little accent. A bit Yank, less Scot. It grows stronger depending on who I'm with. But real Scots can tell I'm not a real Scot and real Yanks can tell I'm not a real Yank.
Except texans. For some inexplicable reason, given half a day with texans and they can't tell me from one of their own. Or couldn't. (I spent a couple of days working a sheep ranch in the early nineties) and the evening visitors thought I was from around big bend. I can't explain it.
Oh, and when I said I cheated. It's because I didn't lie. I only told the truth, for all three. It seemed a bit redundant searching for a more implausible lie. The reason why I never filled in my site bio. But I've recently been reamed enough because apparently I dont share and won't argue. So here seems as good a place as any to start changing that. I think I'll go and update my bio.
And while I'm being all cathartic, let me be very clear about one thing. Nirvana was not a fucking punk band. Kurt Cobain was a rich, self centred, over-entitled brat who wouldn't know nihilsm if it bit him in the ass.
Bring it.

Also, fuck Kurt Cobain, and thank you for saying it.

2. Can I do another two truths and a lie post to get this thread back on track?
H.I.Marcuson

Yep, the bar thread was me. It was only meant for the holiday season. One or another of us would get a bit down and drunk and be derailling one of the more interesting threads. So as a conceit I created the bar. I'll open it up again for the next holiday season.
Whatever happened to that... interesting fellow, the one that Jeffrey set his dancing Darth Vader on? I dont see him around.
And yes, I can't see anyone saying "That damn courtney, she just shares too much..." I say go for it.

Interesting thread.I had to go back to the first post to get what was going on. I'll try to get it back on track:
1. I was born just before midnight on Halloween and some consider me witchy.
2. I never wear panties to parties. It's just wrong.
3. Had lunch with DanBrown a year befor Divinci Code hit bookstores.

Cove, I say you just post three new tidbits, and this time make sure one is not true. We can chalk the first try up to... I don't know, where you drunk? Let's just go with that one. You were drunk, and now you're sober. I'm sure anyone here can look past something like that.
And H.I., in fact, yes, you've certainly scarred my mental imaging for life with talk of a guy in a kilt, thanks a lot.
Courtney
from the Midwest is reading Monkey: A Journey to the West and a thousand college textbooksApril 14, 2013 - 2:39pm
1. I've officially changed my major three times in college and I've only been going for two semesters.
2. I spent a month not eating red meat until I had such an intense craving for White Castle that I had to give in. Since then, I've basically given up on not eating red meat when going out to eat, and only eat vegetarian-style at home.
3. I've never had a nightmare.
Covewriter
from Nashville, Tennessee is reading & SonsApril 14, 2013 - 8:40pm
Courtney's number 3 is the lie. Here are my new sober tidbits, including one lie.
1. I got a part as a stand-in for the TV show Nashville.
2. I don't wear panties to parties simply because you don't want the lines to show through.
3. I make the best French onion soup you ever tasted.
Courtney

Cove got me... that was way too easy. I have nightmares every night, I think I've bitched about it before.
Number two's gotta be your lie. You sound like my kind of woman when it comes to underwear, and I don't wear panties with pants simply cause they fucking suck...

#1 I once mailed a questionnaire/interview to Kevin Smith the director for my old fanzine. The letter I got back was from Kevin Smith the actor from Xena (I'd been given the wrong address) Disappointment & embarrassment in a neatly printed self-addressed envelope.
#2 My dentist once called me in to my appointment by walking in to the waiting room and singing "Will the real slim Slaney please stand up, please stand up, please stand up."
#3 One New Year Eve I got my finger stuck in the thin end of an alco-pop bottle. Don't ask why or how, I was extremely drunk.
Courtney
from the Midwest is reading Monkey: A Journey to the West and a thousand college textbooksApril 15, 2013 - 3:56am
I think number one is your lie, Em. I know you used to run what you described as a "cut-and-paste zine," but I don't remember a reference to Kevin Smith.
Round three for me!
1.) I used to sleep walk when I was a kid. I'd find myself outside and have no idea how I got there. My mom finally got me to stop by putting a knife behind the doorframe and over the door so I couldn't open it.
2.) When I was nine, my sister tried to convince me that the reason she supposedly looked like she'd been choking when I looked away and looked back at her was because she turned into a dolphin when no one was looking at her.
3.) My sister and I regularly get mistaken for twins at grocery stores, but no where else -- we go to restaurants, retail stores, and pretty much everywhere together, but it only happens at grocery stores, and usually at the meat counter.

Welcome to the asylum, Carla. Being a knitter, you should fit in with a few of the other needle and thread crowd (i.e. Beka, Cove, Courtney, SRead, et al).
It's a bit of a pick-me-up to see a newcomer reviving what I was afraid had become a forgetten thread. Thanks, I needed that.
Courtney
from the Midwest is reading Monkey: A Journey to the West and a thousand college textbooksApril 25, 2013 - 11:39pm
You got it, Em! My sister tells people that number one happened to her and it's bullshit.
Carla, I'll go with number two. The corpses at my college are considered the school's property, not the state's, so there's no chain of evidence log for them.
Here's another three for me:
1.) I'm about to embark on my second adventure into living under joint-custody, even though I'm nineteen -- my parents are moving out of state and I'll be living with my sister three days of the week and my boyfriend four days of the week.
2.) My dog is becoming so smart it's scary -- he expresses emotion (not in the "I can tell what he's feeeeeeeling" way but in a human-like facial expression way) and can unzip zippers, among other things.
3.) I once performed as a drag king for a dare and that's when I realized I'm bisexual.
Renfield

Why am I on the computer reading this thread at seven in the morning? How the hell did I get here? Anyway, I much prefer the Hercules Legendary Journeys Kevin Smith (rest in peace) than the fat guy who kind of sucks at everything he does yet is famous and somewhat successful.
1. I've heard it a lot that I'd make a good drag queen. However it seems gay men always go out of their way to tell me how unattractive I am. This is when I realized that I wasn't bisexual.
2. I don't know how to use chopsticks, and I'm too embarrassed to ask for a fork, so when I'm dining at Japanese restaraunts I always convince the people that I'm with that the authentic way to eat in Nippon is with your hands.
3. After years of going to experimental noise and non-music shows where people might put microphones inside their bodies or play mayonnaise as an instrument, still the most bizarre and uncomfortable concert I've ever been into was seeing Chris Isaak.

Renfield, i want all of those to be true, however I'm guessing #2 is a lie.
Also if anyone cares to know, my lie was #3 (I've never got my finger stuck in a bottle) I did get a letter from the wrong Kevin Smith (This was waaaay back at the end of the 90's when he'd only made 3 films) and my dentist did sing to me.

Em got my lie again! I don't remember realizing I'm bi, it was just one of those facts. I've always wanted to try drag, but I think I'd do better as a faux queen than a drag king.
Ren, I think your lie is number one. I know some drag queens say they can tell what a man will look like in drag, but I never believe them.
My dog is scary smart. The other shit he can do weirds me out, but I didn't want to make that one too heavy handed. He taught himself to sit and lay down on command (I said it once, he's done it ever since), he can move recliners with his nose so that the chair isn't in his way, he prefers green jellybeans to any other color and will pick those out of a pile first, has gotten out multiple times and always comes straight back to the door when he wants to come back inside, and has woken me up when I'm sleeping through my alarm multiple times.
Another three because I'm trying to write and just fucking suck at it right now.
1. I can only use Tresemme shampoo/conditioner; any other brand leaves my hair so tangled that it's like a rat's nest. I get maybe one trim every few years and my hair reaches all the way down to my hips, so tangles are pretty much a daily occurrence, Tresemme or not.
2. One of my boyfriend's photography assignments in school this quarter is to do a series of portraits questioning a standard of society, so I'm putting him in genderfuck drag and he's doing self-portraits.
3. Since getting rid of my Facebook in 2011, I've taken less than ten photos of myself for social networking/bio pictures.

It's a bit of a pick-me-up to see a newcomer reviving what I was afraid had become a forgetten thread. Thanks, I needed that.
You got it, Em! My sister tells people that number one happened to her and it's bullshit.
Carla, I'll go with number two. The corpses at my college are considered the school's property, not the state's, so there's no chain of evidence log for them.
Here's another three for me:
1.) I'm about to embark on my second adventure into living under joint-custody, even though I'm nineteen -- my parents are moving out of state and I'll be living with my sister three days of the week and my boyfriend four days of the week.
2.) My dog is becoming so smart it's scary -- he expresses emotion (not in the "I can tell what he's feeeeeeeling" way but in a human-like facial expression way) and can unzip zippers, among other things.
3.) I once performed as a drag king for a dare and that's when I realized I'm bisexual.
Why am I on the computer reading this thread at seven in the morning? How the hell did I get here? Anyway, I much prefer the Hercules Legendary Journeys Kevin Smith (rest in peace) than the fat guy who kind of sucks at everything he does yet is famous and somewhat successful.
1. I've heard it a lot that I'd make a good drag queen. However it seems gay men always go out of their way to tell me how unattractive I am. This is when I realized that I wasn't bisexual.
2. I don't know how to use chopsticks, and I'm too embarrassed to ask for a fork, so when I'm dining at Japanese restaraunts I always convince the people that I'm with that the authentic way to eat in Nippon is with your hands.
3. After years of going to experimental noise and non-music shows where people might put microphones inside their bodies or play mayonnaise as an instrument, still the most bizarre and uncomfortable concert I've ever been into was seeing Chris Isaak.
Courtney I think your #2 is a lie. It's the "among other things" I don't buy.
Courtney I think #3 is a lie
Renfield, i want all of those to be true, however I'm guessing #2 is a lie.
Also if anyone cares to know, my lie was #3 (I've never got my finger stuck in a bottle) I did get a letter from the wrong Kevin Smith (This was waaaay back at the end of the 90's when he'd only made 3 films) and my dentist did sing to me.
I feel like I know Renfield. (No homo.)
Em got my lie again! I don't remember realizing I'm bi, it was just one of those facts. I've always wanted to try drag, but I think I'd do better as a faux queen than a drag king.
Ren, I think your lie is number one. I know some drag queens say they can tell what a man will look like in drag, but I never believe them.
My dog is scary smart. The other shit he can do weirds me out, but I didn't want to make that one too heavy handed. He taught himself to sit and lay down on command (I said it once, he's done it ever since), he can move recliners with his nose so that the chair isn't in his way, he prefers green jellybeans to any other color and will pick those out of a pile first, has gotten out multiple times and always comes straight back to the door when he wants to come back inside, and has woken me up when I'm sleeping through my alarm multiple times.
Another three because I'm trying to write and just fucking suck at it right now.
1. I can only use Tresemme shampoo/conditioner; any other brand leaves my hair so tangled that it's like a rat's nest. I get maybe one trim every few years and my hair reaches all the way down to my hips, so tangles are pretty much a daily occurrence, Tresemme or not.
2. One of my boyfriend's photography assignments in school this quarter is to do a series of portraits questioning a standard of society, so I'm putting him in genderfuck drag and he's doing self-portraits.
3. Since getting rid of my Facebook in 2011, I've taken less than ten photos of myself for social networking/bio pictures.
You seem like the type to need something to rebel aginst Courtney, so I don't think you are good enough to be a witer and should just give up.
Ha! This is why I love Dwayne. He really captures the essence of my teenage angst well.
A real freind understands that sometimes you need a villian.
Someday I will have to become a better liar.
