An Award? For ME?!?! Aww, Shucks!

OH SNAP!

What has she done?

Apparently, Mad, Mad Margo, over at The Screaming Me-Me, has given me an award for following her, (I usually only get a court order!)

So, 'of courserous,' I must graciously accept, and in doing so accept the terms of the acceptance, by answering the following deeply probing questionnaire!

I don't usually get asked a whole lot of questions about myself, which is good. Y'see, knowing me as well as I do, I get bored hearing about me. Sadly, to keep myself interested, I tend to, well, "embellish" certain facts.

Okay, lie. But, in the honor it was awarded, I will honor this award with as much honesty as I can stand!
