feeling kinda
birthday countdown: 13 days.
a bit of a survey inventory kind of thingie, courtesy of mechaieh. i've been on sort of a kick with these lately, because i like answering them. i also think that, should i come back to look at this in a year or two, it will be interesting to see where i am now.
