TO MY FRIENDS LIST: I want to know 33 32 things about you. I don't care if we never talk, never liked each other, or if we already know everything about each other. Short and sweet is fine...You're on my list, so I wanna know you better! [Edited because Q33 struck me as a bit recursive and I'm not going to ask folks to do this, most of my flist has done similar memes recently :)]
