Getting to Know Me

Every now and again one of my friends sends me an email with a questionarre about me. They have completed it and forwarded to me. It is then my turn to complete the survey and forward on to friends. I might be in the minority of my friends but I actually enjoy them. I like telling my friends about myself and I LOVE finding out things about my friends I never knew (i.e. her middle name is Ida, she got a new car, she dreams of the same vacation spot as me.)
