    At the time, I was afraid I'd have to go out the next day and buy another guitar so I could play the next night. I had to wrestle it away from him. Overall, I thought he came across as a bit of a twonk, but that kind of thing sells I guess (which may explain why he got famous and I didn't).

    ^I have no idea, @Oscar Leigh. Umm... well... ginger? No! Thomas... well... pasta. I'm going with pasta. Mr Leigh hates pasta, me reckons.

    I once drank a litre of vodka in under three minutes.
    I once narrowly avoided arrest in a Tibetan monastery.
    I once drove a car through a Canadian forest fire.

    Tough ones.

    I think no. 1 is a lie because you would die unless most of it comes up.

    Number no. 2 is somewhat plausible, as someone who is presumably Canadian would be ignorant to Asian customs.

    No one goes outside anymore. no.3 is a lie.

    So no. 2 is the truth.

    1. I was an unplanned child.
    2. My parents are divorced.
    3. My dad has a drinking problem.

    What I like about yours, @Aaron Smith, is that they are all plausible and they all go together splendidly. I'm going to say that No. 2 is the truth, simply because it's got a 50/50 shot at being true. Funnily enough, all of those are true in my case.

    1. I developed a crippling neurological disease at 13
    2. I've been in a tornado
    3. I worked in IT for a year, after taking a break from doing hair and having my last child

    Imagine the horror if they all turned out to be true.

    3- I nearly died in a fire.

    I have killed.

    I need to eat three raisins and a piece of dark chocolate every day or my mind tells me something horrible will happen.

    No, the worst I've had run me over (run over me?) is a bike. The truth was 3 (though I wish it was 2...)

    Actually, the crippling neurological disease was the true one. I got a super rare autoimmune disease called Chronic Post Viral Cerebellar Ataxia. The disease itself isn't unusual in 2 year olds or the elderly after a nasty bout with chicken pox, and usually lasts for a couple of weeks. It's extremely rare for an adolescent to develop, and even rarer to develop the chronic form that can last God knows how long. The doctors weren't sure if I would recover at all, or if it would send me into a downward spiral. I woke up the day after my 13th birthday after having mono for a month (I didn't tell anyone I was sick because I didn't want to have to cancel my birthday party), and the virus caused my antibodies to attack my cerebellum, rendering me suddenly unable to walk, talk, write, maintain highly functioning short term memory, or pretty much anything involving motor ability. Thankfully, the important bits came back, and the only issue I now have is a wicked case of chronic fatigue and an occasional flare up of Epstein-Barr symptoms when I don't get enough sleep. Ironically, I also have insomnia. Unrelated. :D

    That was a wild 6 months right at the peak of puberty! I looked like a small child who just walked out of a pub and slammed 20 beers for the duration of that time.

    1. I lived in Korea for an entire year and in that time only managed to learn three words in Korean.
    2. I was supposed to be the heir to a multi million dollar company that went bankrupt during the recession in 2007
    3. Since i was able to walk, and mainly due to pressure from my family, i've played sports. That is until I had a concussion during Lacrosse practice in high school and decided smashing my skull into another persons wasn't worth it for imaginary 'points'.

    Hmmm ...

    No. 1 seems possible because I hear Korean is exceptionally difficult. No. 2 seems like only the kind of luck I am bestowed with, and No. 3 would make sense if you lived in the south. As I glance up to take a look at your location, I'm met with a simple "Yes" which is why I will go ahead and take that as a sign that No. 3 is the truth.
