Cheers, 2007.

-21 SECRETS-
1.WHAT IS YOUR DISPLAY NAME ABOUT?
I'm confused as to why this is all capitalized, but I digress. "PinkFluffyStars" comes from the semi-humiliating soccer punishments we used to have to do for my coach Craig in front of the rest of the team, which consisted of squatting into a ball, and then quickly jumping up into the air, extending arms and legs, and screaming out "I'm a pink fluffy star!!" I loved them.
2.WHERE WAS YOU DEFAULT PICTURE TAKEN?
I don't have one? But the one on my Facebook was taken while I was cracked-out on 30 hours of no sleep in French class, where I had to do an oral presentation. Bad. Idea.

Probably a tiger. But I probably wouldn't attack anyone at a zoo. Why this is considered a secret, here, I don't know.
13. HAVE YOU EVER SANG IN FRONT OF A LARGE AUDIENCE?
Only in chorus back at Vance Village, but that was neither legit nor in front of a large crowd. So, no, not really.
