Fun questionnaire

A friend sent this by email yesterday with his replies and the instructions for me to write down my own replies. Reading through the questions, I recalled those inane questions we used to ask in slumbooks when we were in high school (what is love, define crush, favorite color… ha ha ha!). :D

"Who the hell thought of these questions?", i wanted to ask my friend. Anyway, since it was already late in the office last night (almost 7 p.m.) and I needed to get my mind off work before heading home, I took a few minutes to reply to the questions (some silly and inane). Read on, and when you get a chance, answer these fun questions yourself and email your replies to me. And remember, i didn't think up these questions. :)
