Saturday 9: Just One Look

1. How vain are you about how you look?

Rainbow Brite and Care Bears. My Little Pony, Sesame Street and She-Ra (remember her?)

3. If someone was going to make a movie or TV show about your life, who would play you and why?

8. How do you handle sticky situations? Do you have a method? If so, what is it?

People do this all the time. The question is, are you supposed to care?
