Haha, I loved those...
And if you absolutely must see my friend blog, go ahead, but the main reason I did two separate ones is because the family one is for things family would be interested in, and the friend one is for things my friends would be interested in. I don't think you'd be very interested by it, mainly because it's just basically about what I do day to day. Boring. But if you would like to see it, go here->> http://www.xanga.com/BRIlovesHP. There you go!
