The fabulous Miss Jessica Valenti has tagged me with a meme — list five things about yourself that most people don’t know about you. For fun, she listed four things that are true and one that’s not, and had her readers guess in comments which was the fake.
So, here they are. See if you can spot the fake:
1. I’m obsessed by nose hair. Mostly my own (because I have a nose you can see into), but if I can see visible nose hair on other people, it drives me buggy. But I’m too polite to say anything, so I just try not to let people know that I can’t look away from their nose hair and desperately want to hand them a pair of scissors.
2. I’m actually really bad at confrontation.
3. Despite having lived no more than an hour from the beach almost my whole life, I’ve never actually swum in the ocean.
4. At some point, I realized that I don’t know half the bands people list on their Friday Random Tens. I don’t know when I lost touch with music. I like it, I hear songs I like all the time, but I stopped keeping up with the particulars years ago.
5. I once chased the manager of 2 Live Crew around a pole.
Now I tag: alla you. Share in comments, and share your guesses which one is the fake.
