50 questions (via allmadhere)

Ummm ... maybe 2 years ago while on Vacation?

6. Have you ever been in a school play?

Yes, also digital but I'm the laziest person alive and haven't actually gotten around to hooking up the digital cable box in almost a year.

11. Have you ever ridden on a moped?
No. Motorcycles once or twice though.

12. Ever prank call anybody?

Once or twice.

Usually some version of vegitarian.
