"It's all about me, y'know"

It's all about me, u'know. Nope, I'm not going to talk about Ris Low. I've not been writing as I've been reading. There are so many things to read nowadays, from news to articles to other people's blogs and even recipes!  Everything I read is online. I seldom read books nowadays (probably because I read too many books when I was young! haha!). And I am having a little of writer's block..... nah, I don't think I'll ever run out of things to write, just too lazy no inspiration at times. If you want to know me better, I have put together a list of 101 random things about me below. I get tagged in Facebook but never post it there.
