nny | The lie revealed... (Reply)

Okay, I'm posting a lot tonight. But I'm going away for the weekend, and will likely not get online at all. So nuts to you. =)

My dad once dislocated my arm.

True! But completely accidental. I was a small suicidal tot, and tried to run across the road. Not a good plan. Dislocated my arm, yes, but saved my life. So, on balance, yay Dad!

The only time I've ever been hit by a car, my mother was driving.

True! It wasn't very hard, but still... hey!

I wore an eyepatch as a kid.

True! I had a squint, and I wore a big-ass plaster over my left eye. Many pictures of me with party dress and plaster... yet, bizarrely, I had friends. Maybe they were odd looking. I don't recall. *g* I also had train tracks later in life, with an attachment at night that strapped around my head and made me dribble. Nice.

I was in a Ruth Rendell TV adaptation as a kid.

Lie! I auditioned to be in it, because I was a member of a Speech and Drama school at the time, but it was one of those things where they already had the costumes and were looking for size rather than talent. I was always a tall kid. (At least... that's what I told myself.) =)

I was very nearly called Christopha, and I'm *so* glad I wasn't...

True! My mother's best friend was called Christopher, and he was killed in a hit and run accident when he was 18. I was the second girl, and mum briefly toyed with naming me after him, but chose to go Biblical instead. My brother's middle name is Christopher.
