    Survey

    I don't usually do these meme/survey things but I got tagged by depression marathon (thanks!) and I'd like to return the favor.

    The rules are:
    1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
    2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
    3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
    4. Let the person who tagged you know when you've posted your answer.
