56 Random Questions...

Because I don't seem to have anything moving or thought provoking to share these days, I'm borrowing this from Brian who got it from Tracey. Enjoy!

1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT? I have a scar that runs across two fingers because when I was a kid, I decided one afternoon (while I was home alone...and bored) that it would be fun to melt a plastic spoon with a my dad's lighter. The hot, melted plastic dripped onto my fingers and left a lovely scar on them both. Dumb, idea...I know.
