Silly Little Survey Thing

I've been in one of those weird introspective moods since yesterday morning. I've started a bunch of blog entries that have been entirely too ...nobody-gives-a-crap, shut-up-stop-being-emotional-and-wordy. So I decided to do one of these silly little survey things to get rid of my need to write.

10 random things about me -
1. I don't really like pigs as much as people think.
