The 20 random things you may not have known about me... thread.

[dXTC]

This thread must be revived.

I'm having trouble locating my own post I made a long time ago within this behemoth, I'd love to see what I thought of myself years back.

Yes it should. My entry is just a few above this one, and like Abstract, it hasn't changed. However, there is another random fact, #21 perhaps, that I have in common with brandont:

15. My favorite color is blue

My first Apple hardware purchase was a blue 2nd-gen nano. If the iMac were to be released in a similarly blue aluminum shell, I'd get it in a heartbeat, budget be da**ed.

/da be dee da buh dai, da ba DEE da ba dai...
