Liam: 10 truths, 10 lies, 10 bizarre facts

So I found this really cool writing exercise online where you write ten truths, ten lies, and ten bizarre facts about your characters and I thought it would be fun to do for the characters in A Collar For Christmas, my current WIP. Here's Liam's.

Liam:
Ten Truths:
1.      An actor is all he’s ever wanted to be.
2.      He’s had problems with anxiety since he was a toddler, but the panic attacks didn’t start until the 7th grade.
3.      He’d never had long hair before he got the part he plays now, but now that he’s grown it out to his chin he loves it. He hopes he doesn’t have to cut it for any upcoming roles.
4.      His eyes are so dark brown they almost look black.
5.      He hates the clothes his character wears.
6.      He’s not good at making friends.
7.      People often think he’s distant, but the reality is that he’s too sensitive to let himself connect to everyone and everything.
8.      He calls his mother every day.
9.      He’s thinking about adopting a cat from a rescue shelter.
10.  He hates to read, but he hates to admit that.

Ten Lies:
1.      He thinks he’s ugly.
2.      He’s not attracted to every male actor in their cast.
3.      He’s not needy.
4.      He hates his sister.
5.      He thinks the writers for the show have no vision.
6.      He wishes they had a different director.
7.      He thinks he’s the best actor in the cast.
8.      He’s never dressed in drag.
9.      He’s never been arrested.
10.  He’s never hooked up with someone without knowing their name.

Ten bizarre facts:
1.      He can’t spell the word apologize to save his life.
2.      When he eats pizza he does it in steps; toppings first, cheese next, then the crust.
3.      He likes ice in his milk.
4.      He’s still good friends with the first boy he ever had a crush on, even though Tommy’s straight and knows Liam used to like him.
5.      There were only 52 people in his senior class.
6.      Lavender is his favorite scent.
7.      When he auditioned, he actually read for a different part and when his agent called to tell him which part they wanted him for, he thought it was a horrible fit for him. Now he realizes how wrong he was.
8.      Steven Tyler was his first celebrity crush.
9.      He doesn’t believe in God, but he believes that all things in the universe are connected spiritually.

10.  He tried to be a vegetarian in high school; it lasted four months.
