the only words i've got...

Each time I sit down to write, the words refuse to appear. The feelings are there, tumbling around in chaotic turmoil, but the words continue to evade me. And so, as I am desperate to write something, I am stealing this meme from Baylor. Until the words can break through the barrier of pain, this is all I’ve got…

DARE-OLOGY
For this last section, if you would do it for less or more money, indicate how much.

Absolutely, I am not modest and I am really poor!

sure…see above, I am

These questions are coming at a really poor time in my life…but I’d have to think about this one some more.

Yes, but then all of you would be getting endless letters in the mail on a daily basis…that could get time-consuming.

I’m not modest and don’t really care who sees me naked, but I think my parents and grandparents would have a heart attack…and I love them too much, so no.

That would be really difficult…can I still watch DVDs? If so, then yes.
