killing time
i needed to talk about myself, so i decided to fill out this survey. on principal, i hate surveys. but occasionally they come in handy, like when you have things to divulge but don't want to. then you fill out surveys which takes up time and diverts attention away from your original problem. and so, let the fun begin.
[“Alright, so I know there's plenty of these question/answer things out there but they're always written by the most retarded people. "Hugs or Kisses? Tee hee!" So I decided to write my own damn question/answer thing, putting in important questions and leaving out stupid ones as much as possible, and be the first to fill it out. So here it is. Jokes/lying welcome.”—Gregory R. Buchold]
