EVERYTHING YOU NEVER WANTED TO KNOW

You know those lists of questions you sometimes get sent which ask all sorts of personal questions, and then you are supposed to send them back and to all your friends as well? Well, I used one or two as the basis for this, so if you want to find out such things about me then look no further. I guess the next time I get one of those lists I could just point the sender here thus avoiding the need to have to fill it out and send it back, but there again I wouldn't find out anything about the other person......
