Inside the Vault: Four Truths and a Lie
(Why aren't you reading this at the new website?)

---
Inside the Vault = An intermittent string of weekend posts detailing aspects of my personal life.

I always insist that I'm not one for memes, but every so often I read one that is intriguing.

In this case, it's a fun quiz that I first saw at Southern Expressions and then actorschmactor:
The idea is to list five things about yourself. Four of them are true, one is a lie. Can you guess which one of the following statements about me [is] false?
I'm going to add a twist: a statement after each option that is either a hint or a curve ball. Half-truths inside straw men wrapped in red herrings — I'm practically a politician!

So, which is the lie?

1. I incessantly talk to myself.
--Maybe that "Torch Song Trilogy" quote in the left sidebar has a deeper meaning to me.

2. I once fell out of a moving car.
--Doesn't everyone?

3. The one candidate for president I ever wholeheartedly supported was a Democrat.
--Not a trick option: I did once wholeheartedly support a presidential candidate, but was he a Democrat?

4. I get hopelessly seasick.
--Note that none of my recent vacation destinations are "maritime" in nature.

5. I share a certain fetish with (at least) two bloggers on my blogroll.
--I didn't say "sexual fetish" and I didn't say "gay bloggers." That's a mighty wide net. Or perhaps I'm just too uptight to admit that I share a certain sexual fetish with (at least) two gay bloggers on my blogroll.






The correct answer will be posted next weekend.

NOTE: It's possible that a few long-time readers may know with absolute certainty that a particular choice is or is not correct. If so, please don't comment about it — just vote in the poll.
