One of my many sayings (and I do mean many) is "I don't make stuff up." I use this one when people question one of my anecdotes or whatnot. However, this is a dirty rotten lie. I make stuff up all the time--at least when I write. ;)

Okay, six lies and a truth? And they have to be outrageous? Aw, pooh. I'm bad at outrageous. My truth is probably going to be stupidly obvious. But here goes:
1. I like to hold my breath, just to see how long I can go. Every time, I try and beat my personal record. Last year in French class, I held my breath too long and passed completely out.
2. I once got into a thirty minute argument with the Kirby about fonts and manuscript format.
3. I have been the kid in class that tries to convince the substitute that my name is something stupid like "Ima Littleteapot."
4. As an April Fool's Day prank, I once convinced my friends, with the help of my mother, that I was dead.
5. I spar with my cousin whenever we're together. I sometimes use a whip when he uses a staff, and I'm so good with the whip that I can use it to rip the staff out of his hand.
6. My biggest scar comes from falling off of the porch and landing on a potato rake.
7. My biggest pet peeve is when people ask to borrow a pen. I hate that. Half the time I either don't get it back or it comes back broken and it drives me NUTS.
Can you figure it out? Let me know what you think the answer is in the comments! I'll post the answer tomorrow and we'll see who got the closest guess.
And now for the nominees! Drum roll, everybody!

Congrats : )
Things like blog awards really can make your day, can't they? It was also really cool to see your interesting list ... wow lol.
HAHAHA Love your list! (And thanks for the shout-out!)
Hmmm...I would probably guess #4 is the lie...although, to be fair, my brother once convinced my best friend of the same thing so he could use the telephone for longer....
I say the potato rake is the true one! =P
How fun! Thanks a bunch for the nomination and the link. I probably won't be able to do all the stuff--like posting the logo on my blog--because every time I've tried to do that it ends in tears. And no picture on the blog. I'm a genuine cybermoron.
The true statement? I think it's the one about the pen. You've got that awesome pen cursor on the blog (being the opposite of a cybermoron) so I see a bit of a pen obsession here.
But then I could be wrong. I often am. All those lies are very convincing. The sign of a good fiction writer.
Thanks for the blog award!
I think the truth one has to do with the pen :)
Oh! I love these things! I'm gonna say the thing with the pen is the truth. I know it drives me crazy when people steal my pens. haha!
Aw, thanks so much Jenna! <3 I appreciate it. I'll go put it up on the blog ASAP. :D
Oh, and if I had to guess the truth? I would say the pen one, since that's one of my pet peeves. I would have guessed the argument one, but you would never argue with the almighty Mr. Kirby.
