Getting to Know You

My buddy Corinne sent me this quiz so I thought I would post my answers on this old blog. (Boy, I am so glad the writers are returning to work so I can get back to Desperate Housewives on Sunday night instead of goofing on the computer!)

Welcome to the 2008 edition of getting to know your friends. Change all the answers so they apply to you, and then send this to your friends including the person who sent it to you. The theory is that you will learn a lot of little things about your friends that you might not have known!
