So my mother sent me this set of questions in e-mail. Like all internet memes, the idea is to copy the questions, and fill in your own answers, and send that out to all the people you know. I don't often do these, but it's Christmas time, so I figured it's good enough to go up on my blog (and, by extension, Facebook). So, here are the questions with my answers:
