oo this is a really great survey

your ideal day sounds perfect, who wouldn't love to lounge around a rooftop reading about fashion in their underwear? hehe

never had champagne & tea before, but sounds intriguing

I'm stealing this for myspace, naturally.

Also,
Once again, the song on here scared the shit out of me.

Miss you insanely.
