Home Again, Home Again

Well, I have caved. That's right, folks, I set up a post-France blog. And despite a slight aversion to blogging like the world cares, I know a couple of you might stop by every now and then. My life may not be as interesting now that I'm home from France, but I'm gonna write like it is. To start, here is a quiz that I stole from Cat. Because I like pirating other peoples' quizzes and pretending that people are going to read them. But this is the abridged version of the quiz because that thing was freakin' long.
