(note: transferred from old blog)
Well, a friend of mine did this on Facebook. So I did it too, and decided I would share it here. Because, well, this is my blog. It’s about me – so why not have tons of useless information about me on it?! And because it was a challenge, and I like to share challenges with you (I hope you read through this and find me interesting, and this isn’t boring and stupid).
And if you like challenges, you should try this.
