Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The Nameless but Very Pretty Like In The Movies Foreign Land I was princess of had been removed from all the books and maps I would ever see, so I would never even know it existed until the time was right and I was whisked off to take my rightful place.

It still could happen.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I was convinced I was adopted. I look exactly like my Mother. But I was CERTAIN that one day they would tell me.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Me, too, Trudy! I, and 3 of my siblings, look so much alike our baby pictures get mixed up, but I was POSITIVE I was adopted.

When I was a kid, I wondered if my whole reality (parents, siblings, fellow students) was all part of some elaborate scientific experiment on me. I figured that if this were true, I'd have no way of knowing. After thinking about it, I figured that it was probably not true, and since I could never know for certain, it made the most sense for me just to live my life as if it were not true.

(If you guys are all part of the experiment, you can tell me....)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Hee. I've told this before but I thought I could either be Prince Andrew's illegitimate daughter or Anastatia.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Tommyrot is me, except for the deciding it's probably not true part.

I also used to think that everyone in the world was telephatic except for me, and that you are all right now listening to my thoughts and making fun of me because I can't hear yours.

(I had a large and varied collection of tinfoil hats as a child, if you can't tell.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was convinced that my mother was a telepath. I asked her one day if she was, and she denied it with derision. "Of course that's what you'd say," I thought back at her.

Depends. Jade or emerald?

Maybe there are aliens in the lab helping to preserve your secret until the right moment.

Yeah, I've heard it's a common fantasy/delusion/whatever-you'd-call-it.
