    I would have to say that #1 is the truth.
    I am the music floating free, I am the puppet trapped in the box... I am the cascades flowing tranquilly, I am the lava bursting from the mouth of the volcano... I am the rose blooming in a winter storm, I am the frost-bite on your finger in June... I am knowledge, I am ignorance... I am full of likenesses, I am full of contradictions.

    I'll say #4 - you like sweets, but couldn't live on just them...

    You got it. Parrots scare the bejezus out of me. I also can't be in a gym full of people playing with basketballs.

    I actually just straight-up hate sweets. I like maybe one bite of chocolate, and then anything after that makes me feel sick.

    as for #3, it is a concern but I'm not too worried.

    I actually got it because I had a seagull come at my head once, and figured it would probably be the same with a parrot. I've also been hit on the head with a basketball, so I'm not too fond of them either.

    Here go my 4 lies and 1 truth:

    1. I teach high school biology.
    2. My favorite hobby is gardening.
    3. I've never travelled out of the state.
    4. I used to play the piano and basketball with frequency when I was younger.
    5. I'm a neat freak.

    I'll say #1 because I want that one to be true. It'd be nice to have a highschool biology teacher on the Forum

    I'll go with five.
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    You are correct. I am a high school teacher, but not biology. I teach math and English. As for being a neat freak, I can be, but not as a general rule.

    I picked the right one-cool! All right, here are my four lies and one truth:

    1. I love kyaking.
    2. I am fluent in Spanish.
    3. I once had an out-of-body experience.
    4. Emily Bronte is one of my favorite authors.
    5. I once had a day named after me.

    I'll have to say #5 - just because it's crazy enough to be true

    I say, #1 - it sounds like a fun and exhilarating hobby.
    I am the music floating free, I am the puppet trapped in the box... I am the cascades flowing tranquilly, I am the lava bursting from the mouth of the volcano... I am the rose blooming in a winter storm, I am the frost-bite on your finger in June... I am knowledge, I am ignorance... I am full of likenesses, I am full of contradictions.

    Pendragon is correct. I was a teenager and what I really wanted was to go back in time. I thought if I sat very, very still and concentrated, maybe with the force of my mind I could make it happen. After sitting still for a very long while I realized that I was looking, from a place near the ceiling, at myself sitting in the chair. The sensation only lasted for a short time and I have not tried to replicate it, but neither have I forgotten it.

    I only wish I was fluent in Spanish. I can read a fair amount of elementary Spanish, however. And I can curse in it if necessary.

    I do not kayak. I do go on long, leisurely walks, however.

    I have never had a day named after me, but my mother did. She was the curator of a historical mansion in our town and did it for a number of years. When she retired they had a day in her honor.

    I like Emily Bronte, but she's not a favorite.
