answers to two truths + a lie, and some pinterest crushin'

Alrighty, girlies, here are my answers to the following statements from
The Circle's Two Truths & a Lie challenge: 

1. I threatened to beat-up the first boy that ever asked me to be his girlfriend

TRUE! It was the first day of 6th grade, I was a bit nervous about the whole middle-school thing, and he leaned over the tiny desks in our science class and proudly said, "Hey Elena, you used to be kinda ugly last year, but now you're kinda cute. Wanna go out with me?" Needless to say, he did not ask me again.

2. I once ran a half-marathon dressed in flashy 80s garb and tripped over my converse shoelaces towards the half-way mark, limping the rest of the way. 

FALSE!! This was a fun lie to make up, partly because I would laugh at myself if it ever happened and partly because I really wish I could say I ran a half-marathon! Maybe one day (although I'll make sure to tie my sneakers really tight).

3. I spent high school prom night at an assisted care facility training to be a certified nursing assistant, secretly wishing I could have worn the pretty dress and danced the night away.

TRUE! I was a rather career-minded high school senior and skipped prom to chat with elderly residents while feeding and assisting them with daily living activities. My prom dress ended up being worn to a wedding that year, so I did end up getting dolled up. And being career-minded that early helped me in college, so I guess it turned out alright afterall!

Kyle, Bess, Jess, Kiki, and Emily Beth guessed #2. Good work, ladies!
