Rather than dwell on my sad inability to complete the simplest of tasks, such as creating an entry for each letter of the alphabet during the month of March, I am simply going to take a big quiz that I found in my friend Josh's journal.
On a side note, I think I have a pretty freakin' good excuse - several, in fact - in that I am packing to move, planning a wedding, attempting to actually do WORK at work, and having shows or rehearsals or general improv activities at least three days a week. So, I'll do the second half of the alphabet in April.
Probably.
In the meantime, here's the quiz... (Side note: I have removed some questions which appeared to be aimed at your average 15-year-old. Then again, I've left some in. Really, there's no rhyme or reason to it. )

It's sad to say some people DO shower & pee simultaneously. Guys especially... I shudder at the thought.
