Who Wants to Play?

It's been a while since we had a good game of Truth-or-Dare. So, who wants to play?

Basic rules:

01. Reply with a comment and I'll tell you which one I want, either truth or a dare. Dares should pretty much stay within my LJ, and not be anything that will get us reported to LJ Abuse.

02. I either answer the truth or perform the dare.

03. In return, I get to ask you "Truth or dare?"

Some of you have played before; I think last time a majority of the dares ended up being fic dares. Which I only just recently finished. *deliberately ignores the fact that there's one left outstanding from a non-official tod game in one of the comment parties* Other examples of dares include things that have to be left in comments, things with associated flists (like go to my flist & comment on three different journals of people you don't have friended), pic spams, posting pics of something (myself, my pets, the ceiling in my bedroom), the list goes on and on...

And, some of you remember that I avoid answering Truth. But, b/c I love you guys & I'm feeling adventurous, if you want to hit me with a Truth and a Dare, I'll do both. Luckily, this isn't a magical Truth or Dare game, where we'd me obligated to do the dares or else (Naked Quidditch Match, anyone?) but please play with me? Especially some of my non-HP flisters; y'all are way too quiet!!

God, Wendy, you're making me think! And most of it's not happy thoughts! One thing that I could change about my life to make it better? Honestly? (this is why I hate truth) Quit hiding behind the act that I'm okay, b/c I'm not, and I'd love to be able to have someone to lean on but that would require me opening up to someone and that's just a world of disaster. I pretend I'm happy but there's actually no way for me to be when I refuse to think of the first twenty years of my life at all. Why am I not doing it? B/c I'm scared to death of it and I've gotten used to pretending. (thanks, girl! I'm sure that's not the type of answer you were expecting, but there it is anyways)

Actually, I ask this question of everyone eventually and about half answer almost exactly that way. (A third answer with some variation of "I'd leave him" and a third give blow off answers.)

I aodre you and it takes courage to be honest, so thank you for that. *loves*

I left my ex. Even though it took me for-freaking-ever to actually do it, it was the best move I ever made. I spent five years pretending to be what I thought he wanted, which totally didn't help me deal with the shit that made me susceptible to him in the first place. But yeah, I can totally empathize w/ people who say "I'd leave him" but have reasons why they're not.

Awww, thank you!! It does take courage to be honest; it's not a trait that comes as naturally as everyone thinks. I ♥ you!
