Tagged - January Rounup!

So here we are, all the tags I have collected throughout the month of January! Lazy? Quite probably, but I think one BIG Spam is better than several smaller ones. You could read through all this, see where my mind has wandered while answering silly questions, or you can skip through down to the next post - the choice is yours really.

But if there's a test later, don't come running to me ;)
