this one is 5 things you people don’t know about me already. Hmmm.
1. I really like pyjamas. I would spend everyday all day in them if I could. I don’t ever ever wear them out of doors, like the kids do these days, but I sure do love wearing them inside my house.

The assignment:
tell us at least 5 things you love about yourself - your body or your personality. Don’t be shy! And no self-deprecation.
1. I, like Sage, have perfect teeth. Straight, white, and no fillings. And I didn’t go to a dentist until I was old enough to pay for it myself, so there. [...]
