Room #50

So this is my 50th blog post, which should mean absolutely  nothing to me, because 50 is as arbitrary a number as any other, except this one has factors which include 5 and 10. COOL. Speaking of things that are completely arbitrary, here is a note (which was a survey) I made on Facebook on August 5th, 2009. So approximately a little later than that (today), I'm going to not only repost that survey, with old and new answers (or at least my thoughts on my old answers). Have fun bitches :)
