trivial pursuit

I am heavily influenced by other bloggers, I admit. First there was the 100th post thing, then I came across Shauna's top ten trivia facts. I wanted to spare you my list of 100 (or 526) things, but I thought I could at least do ten.

So funny!! I had to copy. I'm very impressed by your ability to follow the instructions on the site and get it to turn up just right on your blog. I couldn't get it to, but I got a close enough proximity.

Why didn't you remember that about your tongue during your whole q-tip conversation that one time on your xanga blog? :) Would have saved you some trouble. It's unfortunate that it's bad luck to put you on a bed, though. Maybe that's been your problem all your life...
