i converted about 5 years ago :) i've always been interested in different religions but didn't know that much about islam. a close friend converted and i saw how much it changed her life, so i got interested and started reading more about it just out of curiosity. i didn't intend to convert. and then, the more i read, the more i wanted to read.... it was the first time monotheism ever made sense to me, hehe.

Simplifying rules:

If you want to play, just post that you want to give a truth or dare or receive one, and then anyone can then jump in and do that for ya!

I don't mean to interrupt the game. I just wanted to say that this thread is my second guilty pleasure. Great thread!!! Its fun to watch what happens next. :)

I would like to give someone a dare!

I'm interesting in receiving a truth, please.

What are three things that make your soul sing?

;-) That's usually MY query...
 

watt
 

Can I have a truth or a dare, please? or am I limited to only one -
Not sure as to how a dare would work on here, so for the experience of finding out, perhaps it should be a dare - please

I dare you to post in this thread a little paragraph about someone you care about on this site, something sweet / meaningful. Then copy/paste a link to your post in their visitor messages.

Ok, somebody give me a truth...

Jennifer, you are good at this. I don't know if I could come up with a good dare.

A Truth for Beloved:

What is the most annoying assumption people make about your sexuality?

Good question. I'm not even sure that I can answer it! My answer would have to be that I am bi. I am not bi, I am queer! :rainbowAfro:

LadyRieinAL: I have to give you a truth because I can't think of a single dare. What was your most embarrassing experience on a date?

I'll play: truth, please:)

Truth or Dare
 

When I was young and confused -I had a crush on a person -
This person was a young lad, and was so darn cute
In the summer a bunch of us kids would get together at the top of the hill and play kick the can, hide-n-seek, and some stupid game where you would inhale and exhale as deeply as possible ten times, and then hold your breath while someone else squeezed tightly. It was thought to be cool if you passed out.
Well, it came my time, and I was going to be held by this blonde blue eyed handsome child of 14 and I was only 12 - all the kids made a circle around me and him, and honestly I thought I was going to faint the moment those sweet little arms wrapped around me.
I breathed in and out, in and out, all the while thinking he's holding me, he's holding me, I'm the luckiest girl in the world,
ANd when he went to squeeze, I didn't pass out but instead, I farted, loudly...on HIM......and the kids took off running in all direction yelling, screaming, laughing, pointing at him - ---RIE POOTED on you!!! RIE POOTED on you!!!
Needless to say, as badly as I wanted to pass out, the squeeze wasn't long enough - and I hit the ground, pretending to be completely out.

Darling Girl, have you ever considered leading a double life? By day adorable, helpful encourager of humanity by night a cat burglar or mole for Mossad? (inquiring minds want to know!....well, this mind wants to know!)

i'ma confused... how does dis game work?. it seems to be all ova da place. lol

It IS all over da place :D. Let us know if you want to give a truth or a dare to someone else, then one of us can volunteer to receive it, OR if you want to have someone give you a truth or dare, let us know which, and one of us will volunteer for that.

My fantasy for a double life has been at night to be a pole dancer at a fat grrl strip club, just gotta start one :D

Much more fun than being a mole!

Sorry Belle, on the phone with my sweetie for 1.5 hours:)

Embarrassing, eh? Kind of hard for me since I have spent my life avoiding embarrassment at all costs.

Ok, the only one that comes to mind is kind of mortifying. Even though I was 110 pounds at age 13, all of my girlfriends weighed about 90-100 pounds and I always was preoccupied with getting thinner and fitting in.

One day, a bunch of us were walking home from school with some boys and I was telling them about a new girl that was going to be in our home room and I said, "She's really cute and has a good figure" and one of the boys said, in front of everyone: "Yeah? Like you?".

I don't know if it was embarrassment or shame but I can still cringe at being singled out in front of everyone like that and everyone laughed like it was the funniest thing ever.

That's the truth:(

A dare for Belle…if she is willing to accept.
 

NOT going to happen!!!!!!! Good idea but ummm NO.

1. I'm in my nightgown and the pool is in "shock" mode with high chlorine levels. I would be killed or something worse.

2. I can't swim....

3. I don't know how to and have never done a "cannonball".

4. Doing a cannonball would get my hair wet. Geeze.

I pick truth!!!!

I swear this is not my trash, but it is my trash can. Apparently the roommate was making poor food choices today...:|

All right Gaige, you asked for it....Truth or dare?

Those crew socks on the left should look familiar since you were with me when I bought them. That front middle section is where I keep the strays until the partner shows up. Black socks for work. And this has reminded me that I have to get my laundry out of the dryer. So Hollylane, how was it being in my drawers?

ACK! Yes! I was raised by parents whose parents came from the Old Country. My parents were not Americanized yet...it was my generation who finally learned and abided by American culture. So, when my mother bought or made me school clothes, she did not have the "rules" to teach me. Like,stripes and prints do not go together. you dont wear forest green herringbone skirts with an orange belt and a purple Nehru shirt..with a smiley face on it. LOL. I didnt know you wore different shoes with different outfits! I had no concept that certain textures didnt match! I was raised by farmers...we didnt even have tv. We never bought magazines. I had no close neighbors. When I went to school for the first time, and saw hundreds of kids my age, I could not understand why I stood out and was targeted by the bullies. If you are not raised to see differences, you cannot see them. I did not know there was such a thing as a hair style. We only had hair cuts. Classmates had running water in the house. We had a well outside out kitchen. We had an outhouse until I was 9 years old. We didnt even have a radio to listen to music. It was there for news. Or talk shows. It was a very plain and simple life. And America was becoming much more complicated as capitalism and consumerism began to grow. My mother had two dresses when she was in high school. I had 4 outfits. One pair of shoes. And ankle socks. While everyone else was wearing knee highs.

yes, yes, the fashion police should have shown up and taken me to a kind prison or reform school where I could have learned all these things. it wasnt until i was actually graduated and got a job in a retail store that I learned American ways. I was floored you could buy dishes in a SET! And sheets too! And silverware!

Life when I was young, was very hard, and very interesting. I was tormented. And it affected me for the rest of my life. But it taught me so much about perspectives and I never forget that the world I live in, might not be the world the person standing next to me lives in..even if they are my neighbor...

I'm proud of you, friend, since you never open up like this on the board. It is healthy to be vulnerable! <high five>

Great thread!

Love the truths as well as the dares!

Holly, your trash can made me lol:)

Gaige your drawer looks exactly like my sweetie's!

Is it a butch thing?

Mine are not quite so tidy and military-looking!

Also enjoyed Belle's no cannonball/getting hair wet (made perfect sense to me, being a femme and all...)

Appreciated Miss Tia's truth very much:)

Five star thread!
