great list, although it's hard to imagine that your friends could be nicer/smarter than you. but if that's what you need to believe to get off your dead ass, well...
Excellent answers. Good to know a little more about you!
Thanks for the nomination! It's in the bag and will be posted in the next few days.
Crystal xx
yeah, what RC said! damn twin.
did you like Newby? "slowly down the ganges" is good, too.
Wisconsin falls and swimming with whales were my favorite. I promise not to steal those on my lists. Thanks for picking me to represent the XY's everywhere! So much pressure!
RC, you're funny. Glad you're back.
Crystal, I'm looking forward to seeing your Crazy 8s.
Laurie, yeah, I liked Newby. I thought it got better as I read.
Christian, represent! I'm sure you'll have a lot of interesting things to say.
Hi Amy, thought I'd left a message here to thank you for tagging me the Crazy 8's, but it hasn't appeared so it's likely I've pressed the wrong button (again!).
Your list was great, very interesting answers!
just so you know, I'm totally blaming you for getting me to do the crazy eights.
Actually it was Swearing Mother who tagged me, but she always says nice things about me and if you hadn't got her to do it, she wouldn't have got me to do it....
hmmph. I feel much better now.
...and I like your lists, by the way.
Swearing Mother, cool answers. You're always so funny.
Travelling, I'm glad you visited! And I can handle the blame. I loved your answers.
