2. Do you wish on stars? Nope.
3. Do you like your hand writing? Nope, and it's getting progressively worse. One would almost think I'm not master of my domain anymore.
4. What is your favorite meat? Bring me a cow and a cleaver and stand back.....
5. What is the most embarrassing CD on your shelf? One word: Enya.
