2 TRUTHS AND A LIE
Preferred Alias: Mandy

1. I went to nearly all the major cities in Europe, the United States, and Asia within a three year period.
2. I once had to climb out a window to avoid being forcefully committed after I was caught in flagrante delicto with another woman.
3. I've been married three times. You know what they say about the definition of insanity

One Of These Is A Lie

Would 3 be the lie?

If 1 is true then it would appear that you have some very interesting stories that you could tell.

[smileslie]

Got it in one. My ability to spin a believable lie must be slipping.

Oh, you don' know the half of it. Very few of them are fit for polite company, but thankfully I've very rarely had that.

[deathstouch]

Perhaps I am just talented in discerning them.

Those make the most interesting kind.

[smileslie]

Fair enough.

That they do. In all honesty I don't remember terribly many of them clearly, mostly due to the substances that tended to be passed around during them. But even ten percent would probably be enough to get me disowned by my family, if I hadn't been already.

[deathstouch]

I see. I can understand that. It might be better that you cannot remember everything.

[ He does value forgetting highly even though he is incapable of it. ]

Your family disowned you?

[smileslie]

Oh, certainly some of it. Of course the things I'd rather forget seem quite etched in my memory which seems hardly fair.

I might be exaggerating a little bit. We don't speak, and haven't in some time, which is as much on me as them to a degree. I was something of a black sheep, and after a time I stopped bothering trying to gain their acceptance. It could have been much worse.

[deathstouch]

That is how most people's memories do work. Sometimes it is better not to remember all the good things.

I see. I suppose that it has virtually the same end result for you.

[smileslie]

I suppose that's true. It does help keep me from seeing too much of it through rose tinted glasses. I think if I remembered too much I might actually let myself fall in love with my ex again.

[she says, like a part of her isn't and won't always be. Denial is fabulous]

Indeed it has. Really, if I'd wanted to be a part of their lives still, I could very well have. It just would have meant pretending to be a great deal of things I wasn't. Like, for starters, heterosexual. And that would have been dreadfully boring, as well as probably driving me over the edge sooner rather than later.

[deathstouch]

It's an exhausting thing, too, to carry the weight of memories.

I see. That would have certainly not made it worth it, then.

My family died centuries ago.

[ More like, he accidentally killed them. ]
