The meme:

2. Bold the things that you have in common with me.
3. Whatever you don't bold, replace with things about you
4. Post your list in your own, so others can compare.
5. Comment to me that you've done so. :)

Yeah, we do seem to have a fair bit in common...then again, I'm not entirely surprised by that.
