100 things about me.

Yep, it's come to this.
Everyone else in the blogosphere seems to have done it I'm just about bored enough tonight to do it myself.

*deep breath*
Here goes:

  2. I stayed at my best friends house all afternoon before trying to sneak back into the house.

  90. I lied about it to my dad and step mum and told them I passed and got a 'C'
