Every single time I’ve gone with a big group we’ve had many problems.

I like to use my bills hahaha. Once I used a ticket that I refused to pay (I had gotten 2; one for an expired meter and one cause my front plate fell off. I sent them a letter saying I wasn’t paying the one for the plate because I had the stupid thing in my window because it had fallen off that day and I never heard back. Didn’t have any problems when I went to register the car again so I assume that means the ticket ceased to exist haha). I actually can’t remember the last time I used a real bookmark.

Dessert: Name a food that you like that most people don’t.
I loooooooove peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Most people think I’m crazy.

Soup: Describe your living room (furnishings, colors, etc.).
My living room is under construction. It’s a huge mess. I have a white-ish couch, a bookcase full of doll parts, a TV sitting on a big plastic box, Jeff’s Love Sac, a sewing table, and Vinz has his playpen set up out there.

Appetizer: Tell about a toy you remember from your childhood.
I actually still have them! Jeff was asking me what they were the other day. One of my favorite toys were Castle Blocks! I just tried looking them up and didn’t find the old ones like what I have. Basically it’s a bunch of wood pieces in different shapes, there are cones and blocks and bridges and cylandars and so on and so forth with little brick patterns and stuff painted on them and you build castles. They didn’t lock together or anything, so my castles were always falling apart

Soup: If you could make one thing in the world absolutely free for everyone, what would it be?
