Can you spot the lie? In this blog assignment I will be writing two truths and one lie.
As you're reading, try to figure out which one is which.
I have a beautiful tattoo on my right foot. Before I left for college my mom and I decided to get tattoes together, sort of a bounding experience. My mom already has three of them, and I fell in love with each one. To show how much we care about each, in a different way, my mother got my name on her right foot, and I got pink and purple Lilly flowers with swirls and leaves. My mom's mother passed away when she was twelve years old from cancer and her name was Lillian, so my mom has a purple Lilly flower on her left ankle. So mine shows that my mom and her mother will always be together and the swirls are me putting them together.
One of my favorite hobbies is to rock climb. I am an avid 5.10 climber that sometimes attempts and succeeds 5.11s, but not often. One experience I had was far outside Kalispell near Canada at a place called Stone Hill. There is a 5.10 overhang there that I attempted. It had a small base to belay from and past the base was another cliff that went down a few hundred feet to a lake. The climb started with an overhang which took awhile to get past. After the overhang were moderate holds and past that was a small 3 foot shelf that I rested on before jumping to the overhang above me. I finally jumped after much delay and grabbed the hold I needed. I finished the route and got to see the beautiful view at the top of the climb. It was a very challenging route that I now would do over and over again.
For Valentine's Day my super cool roommate handcrafted a card that was 12" by 20" and had cut out foam letters saying "You're the BEST roomate ever. I love you. <3 Sarah" on the inside. She even spelled roommate wrong. On the front has my name in large foam letters and says "Happy Valentines Day" with multicolored hearts. There is also a large white heart with a T in the center and squiggly white foam cut outs projecting out of the hear in the center of the card. There is nothing on the back, but that is okay, because it is still the best card I've ever gotten. It is now hanging infront of my desk on my bed and makes me happy every time I look at it, because i know that she loves me. :]]]]
This is difficult! You've included a lot of really convincing details in all of them, which I think is the key to trickery in this game. I found Meg's similarly puzzling. I'm going with the rock climbing as the lie. I feel like somebody could have fed you all those fancy rock climbing words, or you're just making them up. I wouldn't know!
ReplyDeleteYours is hard! I am going to go with the last one though. Not because it is unbelievable, just because i could easily have been made up or maybe you made the card for your roommate instead of the other way around. The tattoo story is far too personal to be made up and your knowledge of climbing lingo is too good for a non-climber. I climb a bit too and really find it hard to believe that you would know the yosemite decimal system without regularly climbing.
