Meme: Nine truths and a lie.

[reynardo]

Stolen from loganberrybunny, and with no obligation on anyone to do it.

Here are nine truths and a lie about me. Which one's the lie?

1. One of my secret fears is slugs and snails.
2. I was once close to an IRA bomb.
3. I was a mad keen Bay City Rollers fan.
4. I won first prize in an Australia-wide Girl Guide First Aid competition.
5. Instead of just letting me pick the regular 5 books off the list for the Brownie reading badge, my mother made me read all of them.
6. I have Tom Baker's signature and one of his (very old) Dr Who jelly babies in a box.
7. I've marched three times in the Sydney Mardi Gras.
8. I've served alcohol to one of Australia's former Prime Ministers and a High Court Judge.
9. My grandmothers were Marjorie and Nancy.
10. My son da_norvegicus's birth was announced on the front page of the Sydney Morning Herald.

I'll leave this up for a week. Have fun! (And do state why you've chosen a particular one as the lie. I'd love to see your reasoning).

I certainly don't know this, but I'm going to plump for 7. Because I reckon it's more than three.

Reasons for not choosing the others?

1: Seems quite likely; my dad has the same fear.
2: I have a vague (albeit possibly faulty) memory of your mentioning this somewhere.
3: See 2.
4: I reckon you got this one for showing extra resourcefulness somewhere.
5: This was my other potential choice, for exactly the same reason michiexile gave.
6: This one has got to be true!
7: -
8: Much less unlikely than it sounds at first hearing.
9: I have absolutely no idea about this, but it's too straightforward to be an interesting lie.
10: For all I know the SMH may have run a "baby of the day" column in those days...
