The Meme List
Instructions:
1. Copy this whole list into your journal.
2. Bold the things that you have in common with me.
3. Whatever you don't bold, replace with things about you. Take note, ALL 100 are about me, the bold ones I have in common with Lorster, except for the two that I just didn't want to answer, because really, it's way more than you'd want to know about me. You bold what you have in common with me then make up new things about YOU for the rest.
