Since nobody wanted to take part in this ( :-P ) I think I can solve it now.
Five statements about myself - four are true, one is a lie. Your task is to SPOT THE LIE!
1. When my sister and I were little, our parents' nicknames for us were "Fat" and "Tiny" (or rather some German equivalents of those words). They still refer to us by using those names quite a lot of times. (I am "Fat", BTW.)
--> TRUE. Our German nicknames are "Dick" (meaning "fat" or "chubby" - not "dick") and "Lütt" (Low-German for "tiny/small/little").
2. The only thing I ever won at a lottery was a budgie. I drew lots at our local annual fair. My mother wasn't thrilled when I brought Tarzan (that's what I named him - only realising years later that it was a really clever name, because that fellow was grey) home.
--> TRUE. He died only two years later, poor little fellow. :-(
3. The first movie I ever saw at a proper movie theatre (and by that I mean a regular movie theatre, not that kind of improvised movie theatres local institutions set up for kids in small places like the one I grew up in) was The Last Emperor (in 1987). I went there with my first boyfriend Christian, and he gave me the ticket at one of those events where all the kids in the class had to throw a slip of paper with their names on into a bucket and everyone had to draw a name and give a present to the person she or he drew. He asked me to slip him my name because I was class representative at that time and thus responsible for watching over the whole process.
--> TRUE. So true.
4. Frank McCourt, the author of Angela's Ashes, once told me "I love you and I will never leave you again." That, of course, only happened because he wanted to tell me what were the only words he could speak in German: "Ich liebe dich und ich werde dich nie mehr verlassen." The whole thing took place at a dinner after a reading he gave here where I was sitting next to him. His lovely wife listened to everything and smiled.
--> TRUE.
5. The only celebrity I ever wrote a letter to is Orlando Bloom. It was during my early LotR fandom days, sometime in the spring of 2004, and I was looking at pictures of him and I thought I'd just let him know that his acting and stuff made me really happy. I didn't ask for an autograph or so nor was my letter very special - so I didn't get a reply. I never expected to receive a reply, though. I just wanted to say that I enjoyed what he did very much. (And yes, I was aware that he'd probably never read my letter.)
--> LIE. I also wrote a letter to Ray Bradbury once. :-P
Nighty-night, all.
*hugs*
