If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

ok, it's a done deal  :rudolph; rudolph's nose is blue if your didn't sing up. your person will be pm'd to you on november 2nd. you can officially start you shopping however. buy something that is you, your city or your part of the world. something anyone would just love to have. sorry, you do have to wait till the 2nd for something personal to your person. now you all see the side of me that's probably best left hidden...oh i'm having so much fun.

the list on the first post of the thread is the complete and final list.
