since neither of my lj's are conducive to either personal information or meme's, you get the pleasure of both - in one! - here at whysper. granted, whysper isn't such a meme place either, but since this is along the lines of 100 things, 5 questions, either/or, or in fives, i figured it was okay for whysper.

not to my knowledge.
