Get on the meme train!
I got tagged and I actually followed through! Amazing! Also, I found this meme much too long for regular human attention spans, so I deleted all the "boring" or "so obvious it hurts" answers from my post. Despite my efforts (and really, they were quite substantial), you will see that this meme is still breathtakingly long.
(Click here to post your own answers for this meme.)

× I have been the psycho-ex in a past relationship.
✓ I believe honesty is usually the best policy. (Plus I'm a terrible liar.)

* * * * *
