I can't imagine ever being able to decide on a tattoo I'd want for life so I'll go piercing because I can always take it out when I start regretting it.
Skydive or scuba dive? |

| I don't want much this year. At least not much that's within the realms of possibility. I'd like a Toblerone, obviously. Mainly I'd like some indication that next year is going to be better than this one has been. A little sunlight on the horizon. A little breathing space. That'd be nice. But a Tobl... |
