The Great Memetastic Reveal!

Last week, I was given the Memetastic Award from Cat of Cat's Thoughts and let me just again tell her Thank You!  So if you recall, one of the instructions was to provide four partially true stuff about me, and one that is completely true and let readers guess which is which.  This post is dedicated to revealing the true and not-so true statements ARGH and I told you, our awesome readers.

Mine:

1. I was born on the day John Lennon was killed. - Not entirely true.  I was born December 8,  but not in 1980.  I'm still in my twenties so that can't be :D
2. I have an older brother. - Not true.  I do have a brother, but he is younger than me.
3. Two days ago, I gave a speech about the dangers of Malaria in a small town north of the city. - Not true.  I did give a speech but it was about Dengue fever.
4. I have never read any book of Harry Potter in my entire life. - So TRUE!  I don't know if I should be ashamed of that fact but yes, I have not yet read NOR watched any Harry Potter for the simple fact that I don't like series much.  This might change in the future, though.
5. I am the only female among my cousins on my father's side. - Not true.  I used to be the only female among my cousins on my  father's side until I was eleven years old, when my newest female cousin was born.

ARGH's:

1. He descended from a noble family of bookworms. - Nope, not true.  He descended from a family of bookworms.  Not a noble family, just bookworms.
2. He loves eating meatballs while hanging upside down from the ceiling. - Not true.  He could not even hang down from the ceiling to save his life!
3. A famous author once wrote a journal post with ARGH's name as its title. - TRUE.  Neil Gaiman wrote a blog post entitled ARGH just recently in January. 
4. He loves books like Hannibal by Thomas Harris, The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, The Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld, and The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. - Only partially true.  Although he does love most of these books, if you have read a previous discussion post about first person versus third persona narration, you would know that ARGH prefers third-person narratives and therefore is not a really big fan of The Catcher in the Rye.
5. He is a very cute and small monster. - Nope.  He is a very cute but HUGE monster.

Did you guess correctly?  Well then you're all kinds of awesome!  But if not, that's okay, but I do hope we gave you a good laugh.  Have a great day everyone!

Memetastic Award from Cat @Cat's Thoughts - Thank You!

In a span of less than one week after receiving the Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award, I received another award, this time from Cat of Cat's Thoughts.

As usual, ARGH and I jumped for joy when we saw this, and he is very excited about this because his favorite number is five, and this is the fifth award we got. 

So from ARGH and myself, we would like to give Cat a really big:

As a condition of my acceptance of this adorable award, I have to share five things about myself.  In those five things, four must be partially fictitious, or enhanced realities (read - kinda true, but kinda not), and then one full factoid.  I must also pass this award along to seven other awesome bloggers.  Feel free to make guesses about which one is the completely true one, I'll post the answers later in the week!

Because ARGH was especially excited about this one, he would also like to participate in sharing some true and partially-true things about himself, and you can  also guess which is true.

Mine:

1. I was born on the day John Lennon was killed.
2. I have an older brother.
3. Two days ago, I gave a speech about the dangers of Malaria in a small town north of the city.
4. I have never read any book of Harry Potter in my entire life.
5. I am the only female among my cousins on my father's side.

ARGH's:

1. He descended from a noble family of bookworms.
2. He loves eating meatballs while hanging upside down from the ceiling.
3. A famous author once wrote a journal post with ARGH's name as its title.
4. He loves books like Hannibal by Thomas Harris, The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, The Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld, and The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman.
5. He is a very cute and small monster.

So, can you guess which is true and not?

And now, for our awardees:

Lah of Lazy Girl Reads

Mia of Girl About Books

Lu of Quick Quotes Quills

Liz of Tangled Web of Me
