Wow, it's been a year and a half since I wrote one of these! So much has happened since then, including a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland to perform Margret Atwood's
The Penelopiad (which we rocked, of course) and a trip to Washington DC and New York City to attend the Global Young Leaders Conference 2011 (I miss you, UK group!!).
I have also graduated (finally! and with full honours, no less
) and will be moving over a province into a UBC Vancouver dorm in exactly 34 days. The baby brother (who isn't really a baby anymore
) will be filling the empty space at my beloved high school and going on his own Edinburgh drama adventure next summer.
So I was tagged by the besty,
KirasDarkLight, to do the "100 Truths Meme" (with her Canadian modifications
)

VikorValient )

I've been in love with that man since I was ten years old, and I finally got to meet him a month ago
016. Eat or Drink? → I don't understand the question...
017. Piercing → Nope, never, not in a million years. I have a fear of needles like you would not believe. I convert all the pierce earrings I buy to clip-ons.
