like, what do i reeeeeally want to be when i grow up?
where should erk and i move to/should we move already?
how can i enjoy my job more?
why do i cry so frickin' much?

but rather than agonize over those questions, i've decided to answer the ones posted on rewindrevise's blog today

1. What do you say when someone sneezes and do you expect them to say thank you in return?
