Cheryl - I guess #1
Natalia - Very good answers, I am having a hard time with you. I guess #3 (I suspect you;ve only been arrested once or twice ). BTW I still consider DC "home" too even though I haven't lived there in over 12 years.

#2 I have 2 wedding dates...a secret, real wedding and the fake, big wedding.
#3 I pole vaulted in college
#4 My first commercial plane ride was when I was 20 years old.

Naturegirl - I'm voting for #3, only cuz I was once told that I couldn't pole vault cuz I'm girl....

I'm gonna vote for #4, but only because I hope that there are a few priests left out there that mean their vows... also, I probably have a dirty mind and I'm sure if this is true it means slept with in the literal sense.... right????

I must say, you all live much more interesting, exotic lives than I!: I am envious.

I guess it's time for me to fess up. #3 is the fake out. I did not pole vault in college however my hubby did and still does. He did vault with a girl but she was "unofficially" vauliting for a year or two before girls were "allowed" . She is now an olympic pole vaulter!

I did skinny dip in Hungary
We have two "wedding" dates and the inlaws still don't know about the 1st! And my dh loves that if he misses the 1st (real) one he always has a back up.
I also never road a commercial air plane until I was 20. I lived in a small town in Manitoba and it was half the distance to drive to the airport to go anywhere so we just drove the whole way. Plus I was the youngest of 4 and to get two adults and 4 kids on a plane...:

Wow, I had no idea girl weren't allowed to pole vault! Wow. Glad they changed THAT.

DH and I discussed having 2 weddings (a real and a fake) because in the state were we got married, you either get married with a religious officiant or you go to City Hall. DH and I knew exactly where and how we wanted to get married and it wasn't with a religious officiant and it certainly wasn't in City Hall. So we were planning on getting legally married at City Hall and then having our wedding ceramony with a friend "officiating". Fortunately we discovered that our friend could get ordained online and be able to legally marry us so we ended up with only one wedding.

Okay Natalia - when are YOU fessing up? I wanna hear your stories

[hazieluna]

Okay I confess to slightly misleading you ladies.....

1. I once danced with the Prince of Spain in a club in Madrid.
In fact my lie is #1. I've never danced with the Prince of Spain! Although one time when we were out and about in Madrid we found out he was in the bar next door so we tried to get in to check him out but the body guards wouldn't let us in no matter how much we begged! This was when I was 20 soo... long time ago.

2. My Father was in Conan the Barbarian.
My Dad was 6'6" - super tall especially in Spain. Some people from the movie Conan saw my Dad in Madrid and immediately came up to him to ask him to be an extra in the film since they were filming in Spain. I went to see that movie as a kid just to see my Dad and then I didn't even recognize him since they put hair on him! IRL he was totally bald.

3. I've been arrested on more than 2 occasions.
Yep - I have been arrested more than 2 times, actually 3, for parading without a permit but no charges were ever filed. I was really active in Unions when I lived in DC. Basically when we were demonstrating and the cops got sick of us we'd be hauled into the back of a police truck and taken to the station where we'd be held for a few hours. I was pretty young, I thought it was great fun, we'd sing union songs and feel really justified. I'm still 100% pro-union!

4. I've slept with a priest.
Yes.... but this is where I've done the misleading. Mindi22 was on the right track. I did share a bed one night with a priest and we slept, just sleeping nothing else, one night together and only because it was the only option available. He was a really cool young guy totally dedicated to his calling. The kind of clergy you never hear about, the ones that have a vocation and are trying to make the world a better place. I loved talking to him especially as I'm a lapsed Catholic and have a very cynical view on the Catholic church. He was inspiring.


What about you, jinetemx?

[jinetemx]

#1 is my lie! Wish it weren't!
I have been paid to perform poetry regularly, my father and I drove race cars (he drove sprinters, I drove stock cars, and I am (okay, was, I let my certification lapse) an ASE mechanic which I normally keep as a closely guarded secret so people don't ask me to fix their cars and I did study archeology at the Mayan ruins of Copan, Honduras, probably the most beautiful place on earth!

Nice to get you know you all better!
