MySpace Freak

I was going through some of my older songs and stumbled upon the lyrical masterpiece that is "MySpace Freak" by C-SIDE. Ah, MySpace. I spent countless hours filling out those ridiculous surveys and posting my answers to the virtual bulletin board. Yes, I was that girl. This left me feeling a bit nostalgic. I realize most people don't care to read someone's answers but it's more of an introspection thing for me. On to the randomness...

I make good Jeopardy! scores if that counts ;)
