No one seemed about to comment again on the “Four Truths and a Lie” meme, so here are the answers:

1. As a child, my two greatest fears were parrots and elevator doors.

TRUE. After my best friend’s parrot bit my thumb (does it bite my thumb at you, sir?), spilling significant quantities of blood, I always stayed as far away from the demon creatures as possible. I still have the scar. I can’t explain the elevator doors. I still try to squeak past them as quickly as possible, even now.

2. I have eaten chicken feet.

TRUE. A few weeks ago, when the suite went to a Dim Sum restaurant for lunch, Abe ordered some chicken feet, and he, Shu Kee, and I tried them. They actually weren’t that bad if you didn’t think about what you were eating.

3. My only other crush on a non-fictional/non-celebrity person was at the age of 8, on a family vacation to the Bahamas. He was seven, and he looked remarkably like Macullay Culkin.

TRUE. His name was Jon Kinsey. Mum tells me I was smitten.

4. I have only ever finished two fanfics in my life.

FALSE. Even more pathetic, I have only finished one! Although this single fanfic holds the record for most likely being the first Percy fic ever written. Go me.

5. There was a time where I could wear the same shoes as my dad.

TRUE. This was 7th grade. In gym, I wore a pair of shoes my dad had bought on his honeymoon. However, my dad realized a few years ago that the shoes he was buying weren’t large enough, so he went up a few sizes, and apparently my feet have shrunk slightly since then, as I was a toad in 7th grade, and now I am a gorgeous, svelte water-nymphlike creature. Handy.

Points for Alicey, but points for Renata as well, because she was cool enough to answer. *clears throat loudly*
