mousmeAnswers to the last meme.
I failed my driver's license three times, twice due to low parking scores: True. I sucked at parking. Then I practiced and practiced and practiced and then I got it. How boring is that story, eh? ^_-
I have never touched a cigarette or a single illegal drug in my whole life: True (so many of you thought otherwise!). I refuse to become a chain-smoker like my mother, and I've always been the designated driver, even when there wasn't a designated driver.
I am related to royalty: True. My mother's first cousin once removed is a princess, and there's a fair bit of Russian royalty in there as well. The Romanian and the Russian blue bloods are even more incestuous than the other European blue bloods. ;)
I was seventeen when I went to my first bar: True. My friends convinced me to go with them, and I was miserable. I didn't want to drink, it was a goth bar and I felt very out of place (although I was made up and sort of dressed for the occasion).
I was once fondled by a stoned goth boy: True. It was at a goth party (the only one I've ever been to) and I was wearing a velvet waistcoat. Big mistake. He made a beeline for me and basically grabbed and pawed at me for several uncomfortable moments.
Two of my four high school best friends have come out as gay or bi since leaving school: True. Not much more to say about that.
I was twenty-two when I got drunk for the first time in my life: True. Ask![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fearsclave. He's the one responsible.
I have only been drunk twice in my life: True. That first time withfearsclave, and that evil time last year when I mixed far too many drinks in far too short a time span (thanks to joane for holding my hair back for me :P).
I once had a heated argument with the head of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development about the Multilateral Accord on Investment: True. He used to be my next door neighbour, and the uncle of my best friends from childhood. I stayed with him and his in their flat in Paris seven years ago, back when the MAI was the hot topic of the day. We had quite the discussion over dinner about it. He was pro, I was con. It remained civilised
I have fallen off three chair lifts when skiing: True. I have also been hit in the mouth by a t-bar, and got my ski stuck in one of the posts holding up the cable for the t-bar. Injuries were minor in all cases. It still wasn't any fun.
I wrote over seventy pages about William Wordsworth: False. I wrote about Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
I owned the soundtrack to The Phantom of the Opera for five years before I actually saw the musical: True. I got the soundtrack when I was twelve and saw the musical in New York when I was seventeen.
I was stalked for six months my first year at university: True. His name was Dave, and he was supposedly a grad student. He was unwashed, among many other unprepossessing traits, and he figured out my class schedule and followed me around the libraries and basically frightened me a lot. He disappeared over the summer of 2000, for which I was eternally grateful.
I was once caught in a flood in a car that was filling with water: True. The great flood of '86 in Montreal. We were caught in a tunnel and water began flowing into the car. We managed to get out without flooding the motor, but it was a close call.
I nearly crashed the first car I drove the first time I drove it: True. My father got the bright idea he would teach me to drive. It lasted all of two minutes. After I nearly forced some of our neighbours to redecorate, we decided professional lessons were a better idea.

Date: 2003-10-16 11:07 am (UTC)... that's my logic, and I'm stickin' to it. ;) Anyhow, sounds like the goth scene isn't for you. ;)
Re: Stoned Goth Boy
Date: 2003-10-16 11:11 am (UTC)And it sure *felt* like a long time. ;) I was too shocked to do anything for the first few minutes (I was young and very, very innocent at the time), then I kind of edged away and fled the room.
Cringe-worthy, I know.
