In the days of yore, this was ~all the rage~ at an old forum that I used to post at. I never did one though, so here I go! The rules are simple. I'm going to post a list of 9 truths and one lie, and then one by one, I'll reveal which is a truth. At the end, whoever guessed the lie is the winner.

1. I forgot lyrics to half of a song during my first solo performance on stage.
2. I once dated a girl with the same first name.
3. I competed against my aunt in a cricket eating contest for a Survivor promotion in a local mall.
4. In my mother's most recent marriage, she was wed in leather chaps.
5. I have a total of ten siblings (meaning they have at least one of the same parent); counting step siblings, the total is closer to 15.
6. I have met Sarah Palin in real life.
7. I performed a rap by Busta Rhymes in a talent show.
8. I have gone past second base with a girl.
9. My family has attended a birthday dinner on my birthday without me.
10. I was once haunted by a trio of ghosts.

I don't know when I'll start posting which of these are true (accompanied with a get-to-know-Mak story how much fun). Probably in a day or two.

I'm going with 2 because if it's the truth I will be motivated to find and murder the parents who named their daughter "Mak".

ETA: Realized it could be short for Mackenzie, but I'm standing by my guess.

2. I once dated a girl with the same first name. - madhack
3. I competed against my aunt in a cricket eating contest for a Survivor promotion in a local mall. - notremojo
4. In my mother's most recent marriage, she was wed in leather chaps. - Joe Hitler
5. I have a total of ten siblings (meaning they have at least one of the same parent); counting step siblings, the total is closer to 15. - STS
6. I have met Sarah Palin in real life. - PT
7. I performed a rap by Busta Rhymes in a talent show. - CO
8. I have gone past second base with a girl. - sn7
9. My family has attended a birthday dinner on my birthday without me. - Gnarlie
10. I was once haunted by a trio of ghosts. - alexi, ThaiSu

Only one of those went unguessed - number one. Interestingly enough, number one is true.

I forgot lyrics to half of a song during my first solo performance on stage.

I actually spent a lot of time wording this one because I didn't want to get too detailed (this is a thread to get to knowtreMak, after all!) and completely blow the answer. Unfortunately, all of that work was for naught in the end. :( . Story of my life.

Anyways, it was my sophmore year. In my high school, theater is a relatively big deal. We're really good - our production of Beauty and the Beast in my freshman year sold 11k tickets, which is pretty awesome for somewhere that isn't in Norfolk, Richmond or NoVa. At the time, I was getting increasingly better roles. I had three solid lines and a chorus part in B&tB followed by eight lines in a smaller, studio show. By the time that first semester of my Sophmore year had rolled around, I had learned to expect a part, just not a very big one.

So, when the cast list for Forbidden Broadway was released, I was *stunned* to find that I had gotten three parts, even over many upper classmen! Forbidden Broadway is supposed to be a show that mocks all things Broadway - sometimes it's witty, sometimes it's offensive. I was the Phantom, Tim Curry from Spamalot, and Sweeney Todd. Tim Curry was the only part that I wasn't familiar with, and I researched a *little* bit to get to know Tim Curry better. For me, he was one of those actors that I could place, but I couldn't name a single work of his. I just knew that his eyebrows were weird.

So, fastforward through a few rehearsals, and two performances. We were on our third performance of the run, with only two more to go. Usually, that's when the actors in our casts start to get lax. They become competent, and think that they know exactly what they're doing. Focus is lost, and people become lazy. I was leading the charge. During a show, you're either connected to it and it's all that you think about, or you are just going through the motions. I was in the latter category for this performance, but I still managed to make it through my first two parts (the Phantom and Sweeney) without any problem.

I was riding high. I had impressed my family (who allhappened to show up that night), which is all that mattered. Tim Curry was the part that I cared the least about, but I felt like I had it in the bag. When the lights went off for the act before me (Liza Minelli), I entered the stage clapping a coconut together as I trotted, just as I was supposed to. The lights came up, a bright, glaring white, and I was supposed to deliver my first line to the microphone.

Instead, I froze.

My blocking told me to adjust my body position to make it appear like I was moving my "horse." Rather than going through with my blocking, I froze. I didn't remember anything. The music started (which was a CD, so there was no pianist to cue me or help me) and I blanked. I knew the tune of the song, but not the words. I did the only sensible thing that I could think of:

"DA DA DA DA DA DUH DUH DUH. DUH DA DA DA DA DA DA DA."

Rather than not sing at all, I sang the first half of an entire song in gibberish. The audience was dead silent (the uncomfortable kind), except for one woman, who thought it was intentional. She busted out laughing, and basically saved me from death - until I remembered the second half of the song, at which point she stopped laughing altogether.

After that, I trotted offstage as quickly as I could. I haven't gotten good parts since.

OMFG how traumatising. :( Hugs!
I haven't done any acting in years, but I still have nightmares about being in some play or TV show and not having studied my lines. It only ever happened to me in rehearsals though.

I hope you are not referring to "Marie. The Baguettes. Hurry Up."

Actually, my lines were:

"Good Morning Belle."

"Good Morning, Monsieur."

"And, where are you off to?"

*then there was this awkward boom from a drum that I'll never forget because it was so hard for me to time*

"The ... Book-SHOP" (shop had to be on the boom perfectly, because the word shop needs emphasis in a story about a woman's love for a beast?)

"Marie. The Bauggettes. HURRY UP!"

And, for what it's worth, I delivered the line in an awful scruffy accent that I never really understood but it ~*fit*~ the character.
