You will do everything in your power not to get tagged out.)
46. Do
you believe confession is good for the soul?
(I did it. I’m sorry.)

I do all the talking around here. How fair is that? I'd like to take a peek inside your sparkly head too. So I came up with this in-depth questionnaire. You can answer any of the questions that you want to answer, or all of them,* or none at all. That's the way we roll here in The Glitter Globe, rules shmules, tests optional. I'd just like to get to know you. (You likely realized my answers are the ones in parentheses.) If you do answer, feel free to color outside the lines. I know I sure do.
*The first two people who answer ALL the questions will win an Epic Slinky Dog. Just be sure to leave me contact information. (And follow my blog, please!)
