i just dance the way i feel pt. 1

So, I thought it would be fun if some of my friends and I did a little questionnaire about how we will spending New Year's Eve, where ever we may be. It's been pretty fun reading these and I hope you guys like them as well. Click their names (if it's hyperlinked) to go to their blog or website! *Thanks to everyone that did it, did expect SO many people to do it so it's going to be in three parts and I'll post more tomorrow! I just thought of the idea the other day and underestimated how long it would take to make the posts...

(NOTE: I didn't ask about resolutions because honestly I don't really care about those and everyone always says the same thing, well that is what I think. You may think otherwise...)

Okay, so blogspot is acting really janky with me. It won't let me change the size of the font or alignment of paragraphs. Anyone else having the same problem?
