Here we go:

1. I once dated a slightly psycho Australian girl while I was in college.
TRUE. And oh, what a disaster. I regret that one and hated the way I acted.

2. I chose Colorado over my other options for college because they had a better football team.
FALSE. (Better than what, anyway?) I chose Colorado because it was not in Okieland.

3. The only time I went bungee jumping, I couldn't let go of the handhold because my knuckles were whiter than a Klan rally.
TRUE. I'm not acrophobic, but I just couldn't jump.

4. My first dog was put down after he mauled one of my younger brothers.
FALSE. Put down, yes, but because he was big and aggressive. My parents always told us he was given to another family, not put down, because they didn't want to be traumatized. Hell, they could have told me -- I want that dog dead.

5. The strongest swear word I can muster most days is "crap."
TRUE. I just... don't.

6. The only reason I took up blogging was to learn Perl.
FALSE. I did it for a writing outlet and to pick up some web skills I wasn't learning at work. I'm awful at Perl, actually.

7. Right now I only have two pairs of jeans and two pairs of khakis that fit my too-large arse.
TRUE. And thus, back on the diet.

8. I have been sick on every Inauguration Day since 1981.
FALSE. 1981, 1997, and 2005 I was sick.

9. I wish that I could have a do-over on years 16-25.
TRUE. Sad, directionless years those were. Pretty much one giant misanthropic depression.

10. I still chew paper.
TRUE. And plastic. And rubber bands. And I have since I was little-little. I like the... fibrousness of paper.

If you scored 8 or higher, congratulations, you did better than my mother.
