The Meme of Seven (Or Not)
It seems that I have been tagged with a meme.
Well... first off, here is my favorite picture of marital discord:
And here are seven facts about me:
1. I am male.
2. I have lived within the continental United States all my life.
3. I find the taste, smell, and even the color of lima beans to be utterly repulsive.
4. I am agnostic about the existence of god.
5. I do not have any tattoos, and seriously doubt that I ever will.
6. I don't like using my blog to talk about my personal life.
7. I think all chain letters are a communist plot.
