The questions Jade asked me, and their answers, are here!

5.  Do you have a favourite sports team?

Nope. I know absolutely nothing about sports. :-)

6.  What is song is guaranteed to get you up and dancing?

Again, this is a very long list. I like pop, rock, country, bluegrass, jazz, alternative, swing, etc, etc.  Basically, if it's got a beat I'll dance to it...badly. ;-)
