What’s Miscellaneous Today?
The Random Questions Tag

As you may have noticed, I’ve been swimming in tag/awards thingy-ma-jigs for three weeks now (there are so many to catch up on omg). But I owe it to those who tagged me to complete these and spread the bloggy love—so onward we go!

I was tagged by Elyssa @ Books and Iced Coffee—so thank you for this. I skimmed the questions and I didn’t find them to be that random (although that might be just a testament to all the baloney that goes inside my head).
