Lies -Revealed
Some of you already did, but if you want to reveal your lie from earlier, go ahead.
1. I set off the school (college) fire alarm with a fog machine at
Halloween causing the entire dorm building to be evacuated while we
waited for the fire department.
2. I tp'ed the frat house in
college and escaped being caught when I jumped a fence and ripped off my
sleeve. I had to go back to get my dumb pledge sister and was tied to a
tree and hosed down as punishment.
3. I helped throw a couch off the balcony at the dorms. It landed in a tree and stayed there for months.
Lie... some of you guessed, but you got it wrong... the couch DID stay up there, but I didn't assist in the heaving of it into the tree.
Re: Lies -Revealed
I don't know Bob Seger.
I met the Bush twins when I lived in Texas and my dad was in charge of some fund raiser for George Bush Sn (as a chef). I was along with him and the twins were there as well - we actually kept in touch until about five years ago.
Kid Rock lives in the childhood home of a friend of Jason's - we've meet him a few times and he's pretty cool.
I DO know where Bob Seger lives though - it's not too far from our house.
1. When I was little my Mom caught me peeing in the kitty litter box. I figured if the kitties could why couldn't I?
2. I used to have a full-blown system in my trunk. Two 10's and a 350 watt amp. All of the boys wanted my car.
3. I was supposed to go to UofM and cheerlead but blew out my ACL in highschool.
This was my lie. I WANTED to go to UofM but blew out my ACL, and also sort of blew off my senior year and didn't get good enough grades to go to the U.
that is why i thought the Bush twins were your lie
Did you get invited to Jenna's wedding?
1. Bill Laimbeer helped build my parents house.
2. In HS I had perfect attendance all four years.
3. When I was younger, I used to do figure roller skating.
#1 is my lie. when my parents were building our house, my dad used to always tell me that he helped. I was a very gullable child & believed him. I used to tell people all the time that he helped. then a few laters my dad finally told me that it was just a joke.

1. I nearly flunked out of elementary school.
2. I pulled the fire alarm my sophomore year of HS to get out of giving a presentation I was terrified about. - LIE
3. I dumped my HS boyfriend when I met my H.
1. I dated one of DH's best friends.
2. One of my very best friends is 14 yrs older then me.
3. I am fluent in German & Spanish- Lie
You are all going to think I'm a total weirdo now (that is if you haven't already):
1.) My house was once filled with 30+ reptiles and amphibians that were pets. (technically, these were my ex-boyfriend's hobby but they were in my house and I helped care for them too)
2.) I used to be a "raver" in Detroit in the late '90's (judge away, those were some of the greatest days of my life and I don't regret a single one!)
3.) There is a mouse in my office at work and it keeps eating things out of my desk.
DH is the one with a mouse eating snacks from his desk drawer.
1. When I was younger I was in a video clip on Seaseme Street. - This is true. We were in Boston when I was 12 and a videographer came up to us and said he was filming families for a segment on Sesame Street.
2. Ive been to Paris. - This is my lie. Ive been to London though.
3. I have 5 brothers and sisters, which includes two sets of twins. - This is true. I am the oldest. After me there is a set of 23 year old twins, boy and girl. Then there is a girl who is 21. After that there is a set of 14 year old boys.
1. I've danced on stage at a strip club. (Fully clothed, BTW) The place was empty and a friend knew the owner so we were goofing around on stage at the end of the night.
2. I once made a remark in front of Kristi Yamaguchi that came off as racist and she ran out of the store.-- I used to work retail and happened to be commenting on how much I hated the new line of Asian inspired jewelry that we had just started selling. Apparently one of KY's friends heard my comment out of context and thought I said I hate Asian people. Ugh.
3. I showed up in the background of a movie a few years ago because I was crossing the street while they were filming. --This is my lie. Actually happened to a good friend of mine.
He lives down the street from my best friend.
1. I was in the middle of a "riot" in East Lansing after an MSU basketball game back in 2003. That tear gas really is not fun stuff.
2. I didn't have my first alcoholic drink until I was a freshman in college. I went a little crazy after that and ended up with an MIP.
3. I was pulled over by a cop on Harrison Road in East Lansing after a frat outing with my bf at the time. It was really stupid because I had been drinking and maybe, possibly smoking something... but I got off with a warning.
Number 2 is my lie. It's actually all true except for the MIP part. I did some stupid sh!t (see number 3), though, and I'm surprised I never got into serious trouble.
