I used to have this as a randomly loading thing, where each time you loaded it you'd get a different item from the list below. I decided to ditch it from the front of the site and make way for something else. But, since I can't bear to throw anything away, here it is.

I've always wanted...
20/20 vision.
My friends would shocked if they knew...
I don't think there's a single thing I've done or would do, that would shock anyone I know. As one friend once put it, even when I do something surprising, he's not surprised by it, because of the kind of person I am.
