There's nothing I like more than a surprise. Except when they're unexpected. So let's get down to brass tacks and reveal the answer to last week's Truth or Lies Tuesday:
- Kiss You Off: This story is true (sorry, Karyn - but you forget that I didn't move to your school system until after Thanksgiving weekend of sixth grade - fooled you!). Ah, Valerie. I still can't hear that Steve Winwood song without flashing back to the side of that house and being scared out of my wits. Fortunately for all of us I do my best to never listen to Steve Winwood. Ever.
- Friends With Benefits: True. In retrospect, the entire situation was so completely overdramatic that not even the CW would write it into a plotline. T. left me for C., who dumped his boyfriend, G. G. and I were completely blindsided and hooked up a few times to help each other through the pain. But we were both tops so we knew that was never going to last long. Surprisingly, from what I understand, T. and C. are still together to this day. So I guess one of them must've learned to switch hit.
- Now Is The Autumn Of Our Gay's Content: So true. So wonderfully true. My heart still flutters a little bit when I think about it. His name was Jeon. He was French. He was super hot. I have never felt more like an International Coffees commercial in my life. We never did get around to going on a date, but I still felt so special. I kept that napkin in my wallet for nearly five years, until I accidentally sent my wallet through the wash cycle in a pair of jeans. Ah, Jeon. Le swoon.
- Smile For The Camera: This is the false story. Although there were no X-rated pictures hidden away for me to find, he did leave me a fully-stocked bookshelf with such classic titles as Hustlers, Escorts, and Porn Stars: The Insider's Guide to Male Prostitution, Male Bodies: A Photographic History of the Nude, and The Joy Of Gay Sex. I have no idea what this guy did in his free time but I've got a pretty good hunch. Still, I don't judge, and I should really thank him. Two of those books came in very handy.
We hoped you've enjoyed this exciting installment of Truth or Lies Tuesday.
I consider myself fooled. :(
It's only been 20 years.
(At least I was right about there not being a girl named Valerie in MY school's sixth grade clases...LOL.)
