Gina tagged me the other night, and I totally forgot to do the deed. So, here it is, with a bonus I ganked from Poppy Brite’s last blog post – I know I usually save these for the Myspace blog (sorta) but I figure some writers that wanna hit Apex or LBF might take a gander at what I post, and think about it. <\/p>\n
I tag Louise and Kevin, most particularly, Gina on the second one. *weg*<\/p>\n
