I found this ridiculously cool blog and decided "what the hell". I'll give a meme a go. Since I had NO idea what a meme was, I had to start by looking it up. If your nosey like me, click here.
Start by giving credit to the one you robbed. Thank you Unmitigated. Then copy and past the questions below. Bold the ones you've done, add justifications, explanations, near-misses. In other words, blather on. Something my 5 stalkers know I'm good at.
1.Started your own blog- This will be my only one. I can barely keep up with this one.

3.Played in a band - Yup, I'm the bass player for "All Hail Sally" our family Rock Band seen here. I'm also the band's photographer and videographer which is why you don't see me playing.

14.Taught yourself an art from scratch - photography & wrting (trust me, my form of writing is self taught. NO teacher would recomend the way I do it)
15.Adopted a child - oh hell no. I've screwed up my own enough thankyouverymuch
