where in the world is the person who created this tag, hiding??!!!!

One last question:

1. Are you happy with your life right now?
ummmm...million dollar question!
and something i cant literally afford to answer--since i dont have a million dollars to give in exchange (i dont like accepting things for free, ya know)
so with deep regret, i have to decline the question--for all its worth! ;)

phew!!
ok..all said and done, i must say i am feeling extremely proud to have completed this herculean task of tag execution..

and i would be lying if i said, i dint enjoy it..
as for you, congratulations if you have made it till the end without dozing off in between..ahem! :-/

ohh and by the by, the person who created this tag can come out of hiding..i think i have become all forgiving and patient (all thanks to the tag) and decided to let him/her stay alive *puts the rifle away and adjusts the halo over her head*

live and let live!!
