as i do now and again, i shamelessly take someone else's survey questions, replace the answers and regurgitate is as something brand-spankin' new from me. however, i believe that the person i'm ripping this from deserves a special mention. jacqui, this is for you. (haha)

8) Did you wear glasses?
THEN: again, no

9) Who was your best friend?
THEN: i don't like answering this question because: a) it's hard to choose and i don't want to; b) someone is usually going to feel left out in a way.
NOW: of course it's you! duh!
10) Which of your pets were still alive?

13) Who was your regular-person crush?
THEN: wow...so long ago....Red J?

THEN: none

21) Looking back, are you where you thought you would be in 2006?
yeah..since i'm psychic. well, when i was fourteen i wouldn't have thought i'd go to the US, so that was a major change in my 10-year plan. but other than the location change, i think i'm where i'm supposed to be. if not, then that 10-year plan was horribly drafted.
