I'm tired...I don't know why but I'm feeling a bit depressed today. Just one of those days I guess. Maybe because its "Friday Follow" and I have no new followers. Maybe people just don't like me? Maybe I'm just reading too much into it...which is extremely likely and oh so possible, lol. These lists and questionaires used to be all the rage back in my LiveJournal days. So, here we go, for old time sakes...
