Oh, no, they didn't teach us to write on a computer first. When I said "printing," I was referring to a style of writing by hand where the letters are not joined. Like so:


As opposed to handwriting where the letters are joined, which looks like this:


Hopefully that makes more sense.


Hmm. Well I was going to guess #4 next, but Impractical already got it, and I know #3 is true because Owls and I have talked about languages before, so I'll pick #2.

So, non-cursive writing then? I wish I could be non-cursive at times.

Yeah, that's the term I was looking for. In hindsight, I probably could've worded that fact a little better.

I actually knew you'd been in the military, and yet I still think I might've guessed #5 to be false. Interesting. Well thanks for sharing these with us.

I had the previous round, so I'll let Impractical go next if he wants. (Edit: Or do we want to go by the original rules where whoever guesses the false fact right goes next?)

@ImpracticalDino: Have you come up with five more facts? Or do you want me to do the next round?

lol, seems like I forgot about it as well.

I'll try and come up with something soon.

Ah, yes, we haven't played this in a while, but I always had a lot of fun with it. I'm glad you revived it.

That said, I know you well enough that I know at least a couple of these for certain. Do you want me to let someone else have a go at it first?

Alright, will do. In the meantime, I'll brainstorm some new items for when it's eventually my turn.

3) My favorite mobile game is Bloons TD 6. ?

...How!?
You are correct first try.

1) I failed 10th grade English: Procrastination and not really bothering to do the work the latter part of the year, especially at the start of the pandemic. And plus I just don't like English in general as a subject.
I was also only 2 points away from passing, so rip me.
2) "You'll Play Your Part" is my favorite MLP: FiM song: Hands down the best MLP song in the show. And the harmonies of the princesses closer to the end is so melodious. <3
3) My favorite mobile game is Bloons TD 6: My favorite mobile game is Bloons TD Battles actually. But dang, nice guess.
4) I had 3 siblings in total: 2 older brothers and 1 older sister, whom unfortunately perished in August last year. She was 26 years old at the time of death.
5) I adore predator/prey friendship stories: Yep, yep, yep! You just can't help but feel all warm and fuzzy inside to witness species that usually don't get along as the bestest of friends! It's just so adorable and awesome.

So, who's next?

^I know. I couldn't believe it when I first found out. It's been many months now and I still haven't gotten over it, really. Sending you as much love and compassion as I can, Impractical. *e-hug*

Haha, ironically considering that I already knew a couple of these (#4 & #5), if I'd guessed first I would've gotten it wrong, whereas Sneak gets it on his first try. I was going to guess #1 was false; I knew you weren't a big fan of English, but I had no idea that you actually failed the course. Wait, so you were still able to enter into Grade 11 this year? Will you have to retake Grade 10 English at some point?

Also, I totally thought #3 was one of the true ones, since I remember playing Bloons with you earlier this year, but I guess I was getting the titles of the different Bloons games mixed up.


Anyway, I shall go next:

1) I have considered giving up fiction writing altogether on multiple occasions this year.
2) Despite being an avid cat lover, I am averse to the idea of having a pet cat of my own.
3) I used to live with a child molester.
4) As of about a couple months ago, I've grown tired of my username and wished I could change it.
5) Foobie nearly made it onto my list of top 10 favourite LBT characters.

#3 is true.

Correct.

1) I have considered giving up fiction writing altogether on multiple occasions this year: Each time I pulled myself out of it, and ultimately I'm still not ready to give up (yet). But yeah, this year has been rough on my creative energy levels for sure. You've seen me rant about this one before.
2) Despite being an avid cat lover, I am averse to the idea of having a pet cat of my own: After my last cat passed away, I've had several people ask me if I was going to get another one, but I'm just not feeling it any more. I loved Billy and I'm grateful I had him in my life for the time that I did, but losing him was rough and it soured me on the idea of being a pet owner again. Plus, even at the time, there were other things about having to care for him that were a burden to me. I miss Billy, but I don't miss being a cat owner, if that makes any sense.
3) I used to live with a child molester: I was (thankfully!) not one of his victims. It was back when I was around 19-20. After I moved out of my parents' house, but before I moved into the apartment that I currently live in, I lived in the basement suite of this schoolteacher's house for about a year and a half. And he was a totally nice guy too. It wasn't until a few years after I'd moved out of his place that my mother discovered a newspaper article about him, which revealed that he'd been exposed and subsequently sent to prison. To say that I was shocked upon learning this would be an understatement. The whole thing still feels surreal to this day. Definitely one of those truth is stranger than fiction things.
4) As of about a couple months ago, I've grown tired of my username and wished I could change it: Completely false. I've always been content with my current handle. While I have recently started going by "Ember" on Legion of Ducky, it was never meant to replace StardustSoldier or anything.
5) Foobie nearly made it onto my list of top 10 favourite LBT characters: An unpopular character choice for a lot of people, which is part of why I thought it might make an interesting item on my list. But I always found him kinda interesting, even despite my at-the-time lukewarm feelings about LBT 13 as a whole. But I ultimately decided I didn't like Foobie that much, at least not compared to the other characters that I did go with.

I figured you'd know that #1 was true, but how were you so certain about #2 and #5? I don't recall mentioning those to you before.
