The truth hurts. Or something.
Oct. 9th, 2003 11:39 am1) Throughout elementary school, I got consistent C's in art.
This is true. I am also the only person I know who did so badly in elementary school art. Everybody else got A's just for making sure that their space was tidy. I sucked THAT BAD.
2) I well and truly thought that the Fellowship movie was going to suck ass and the only reasons I went to see it were for Sean Bean and Jo's desperate desire to go see it.
This is true! I was NOT psyched to see Fellowship. I thought it was going to be visually stunning, from what I saw in the trailers. But I was terrified that they would just butcher it. But Jo wanted very much to see it, so I promised her I would go with her after looking at the cast list and seeing Sean Bean's name (and, naturally, thinking "Well, gee, he's playing a character that dies, what a surprise!").
3) I have played Mercutio, Juliet, and Kate in various Shakespearean productions.
This is the lie, though it's a lie wrapped in truth *G* I have indeed played Mercutio and Juliet -- in the same production, even, which was, er, fun. I have not, however, played Kate. I've played Rosalind, though.
4) My very first OTP was Legolas/Gimli when I was twelve after finishing Lord of the Rings for the first time.
True as well. Obviously. Would have also been able to include Frodo/Sam if my poor twelve-year-old self hadn't been very bitter about The Ending.
5) My mother used to be able to kick my ass at video games.
True! I have the coolest mom sometimes, when she's not selling my puppy. I was very young when the original Nintendo came out, and she would play with me. And kick my ass, because, dude, I was 5 or so. She continued to do so for many years. She probably still would if she hadn't stopped playing for many years in my early adolescence and then went and developed arthritis in her hands. She's started playing again, but doesn't usually play games I do, or, if she does, they're not exactly competitve type games or we're good at different things so don't play competitively. She's very keen about Tiger Woods golf games right now.
