My guesses: 2, 3 and 5 are true.

[shipperx.livejournal.com]

You're right about two and five. Those are true. (Mom gave one of my childhood stories to Nell Lee and had her read it. )

Three isn't actually true, but, in the thought that the best lie is the one very close to the truth, I never actually broke my ankle in high school (and not at a football game). I tore the ligaments in my ankle at cheerleader camp.

I don't feel so bad about guessing it then! I'd been figuring the odds were pretty good that you could have broken an ankle while cheerleading at a football game... it's the sort of thing that's been known to happen!

I was going to say 2, 3 and 5, too. Hmmm.

[dreamkeeper77.livejournal.com]

Well, since 2 and 5 are right. I'm going to also say 4.

4 is another 'almost true' (albeit, it might even be true, and I didn't know it at the time). Courtney Cox's father was a very successful pool contractor in Alabama. He ran 'Cox Pools' when I was growing up (which is still one of the biggest pool contractors in the state, even though the Cox family sold it a few years ago, I think.) Cox Pools did in fact pour the swimming pool in the house where I grew up. Whether her father was directly involved (this was back in the early days of Cox Pools) I really don't know.

Well, as I know #2 and #5 are true, I'll guess #6 is the final true one.

I'll give it a go later! :)

Nope. I've read Wuthering Heights multiple times, but I don't care for Jane Eyre. I tend to become annoyed with heroines who constantly complain about how dowdy they are. I remember wanting the husband to murder his current wife in "Rebecca" because I was so sick of her whining about being dowdy and unfashionable -- you married a freaking millionaire. Go to the MALL!

Totally random guesses: 1, 2 & 4 are true.

[rahirah]

I know that 5 is true. I'm going to guess 2 is true, because I know you live in her area and it would be cool. *g* And I'm going to go with 4 just for the hell of it.
