Awesome facts! Sorry I haven't been on. Got grounded, then I had 13 people (including me, my, sis and my parents) and 4 dogs spend the night at my house. Crazy! Specially since 5 of them were little kids. Every year my family has a New Years party, so I was busy all day yesterday. Things are starting to slow down some. And I start school tomorrow. Ah! My life is SO hectic. Enough about me ;D How was your New Years?
