So I may seem a bit scary and creepy and stuff- but I was checking through your posts to look for fic and stuff and then I came across this meme.

And then I noticed! We were born on the same day! (As are many people, I'm sure, but what are the odds of having someone on my flist, ey?)

I was going to do the meme, but you picked most of the good ones, already :)
