MORE QUESTIONS:

I'm picky about socks... there are some ones at Sock Dreams I want that have terry-lined feet. I have a pair in grey that I like and I'd like more colours of them, but, I can't remember what they cost so I'd not expect such a thing from someone.
2. What are you really interested in reading? Would you like a hardcover, softcover or electronic copy?
I have a Nook. I think my Amazon wishlist has books on it I'm interested in, but I'm particularly hankering after the newly-released Sailor V and Sailor Moon manga volumes.
3. Are you planning on going anywhere during the round?
Yes. I am going to Iowa tomorrow to see my parents.

I can only use meat-free gluten-free dairy-free recipes, but feel free to lay 'em on me.

I don't care for stuffed animals.
