Ok, if you’re straight, have you ever fancied a person of the same sex, or if you’re gay, opposite sex?

Ah. Didn’t consider that possibility 😛

Ok, then, instead, tell us about the time you first realised you were bi.

> **The Weird One** - it’s been a long time since we had any poetry or singing. So…pick a famous song. Any song. Re-do the lyrics and sing in praises of something you hate.

Oog. Okay, that was really hard. I make no promises that this will be any good. In fact, I think I can safely promise that it’s really bad. But here it is, my ode to cliches, to the tune of [Let it Be.](http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/beatles/14848.html)

When I find myself in time of trouble  
Trite old sayings come to me  
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.  
And in my hour of darkness,  
’Twixt the Devil and the deep blue sea,  
Only the truth will set you free.  
Set you free, set you free  
Set you free, set you free  
Only the truth will set you free.

Clichés, their words bring me such comfort  
When I’m really up a tree  
I don’t worry, I just act happy.  
If money is the root of evil,  
Then I’m good as gold, you see.  
It could be worse, so I’ll just let it be.  
Let it be, let it be  
Let it be, let it be  
This song’s not what it’s cracked up to be.

Oo, that’s hard. I think the word “genuine” is the deciding factor. That just makes it all too tempting to pick my straight, married, Born-Again Christian female cousin. That will be my revenge on her for her boring wedding reception, which featured dinner and a slide-show (no dancing!) and a single glass of champagne for the toast (no booze!).

Gah! I can’t keep track of anything going on in this thread, so I’ll do that last thing I could keep track of. I apologize if I’m leaving anyone hanging here.

I’ll take a Truth or two.

In my experience, a lot of people have a “secret” erogenous zone: a little sweet spot that totally turns them on. I could drive one ex-boyfriend wild by rubbing the back of his neck; for another, it was his earlobes. Do you have a sweet spot, and if so, where?

Cheerio! I have returned, and am writing my posts in full English colour! Hope all you chaps are pleased with my effort, for I’d honestly rather listen to it than perform.

My fine lady, I’d be glad and honoured to accept a truth from one such as you.

Dressed as a _chicken_? Pull the other one, it’s got bells on.

The back of my neck. I had one lady-friend who insisted on touching (nay, caressing!) the back of my neck, in public, at the most inopportune times. Deliberately. Ahh, good times.  
And you, my dear, Truth or Dare?

Oh, my.

I’ve had plenty of dreams that I wished at the time I _could_ live out in real life. But since my real life now is much different than then, they don’t really fit. (Although the one where I’m the only one that can keep Helen Hunt from going to jail is tempting, even today).

But…

I’d say that any flying dream I’ve had is one I’d love to be able to live out today. I’ve read that different people fly in dreams in different ways. My flying dreams are almost always a series of swoops, where I have to make a conscious (well, dream-conscious) effort to soar, and I plummet if I don’t; I fly in a series of long up and down swoops.

It would sure be great to do that the next time the Beltway is backed up.
