insane in the membrane

so kevin's cousin's wife has taken on a 30 day blog posting challenge, inspired by her friend, and has given that challenge out to others as well. i don't know the friend, nor was the challenge directed towards me, but for some reason i kind of feel like doing it. don't ask me why. i enjoy reading other people's postings, but its really not my thing. i mean, had there been some sort of cyber-offered guarantee that good luck would be mine for seven years, or my crush from 1st grade would finally contact me, or better yet, a threat telling me i would lose all of my fame, fortune, and hair i would definitely be all over this. alas, there is no pot of gold or baldness waiting for me, i'm doing this just because. so here it goes....
