The Slightly Late Friday Five
Sep. 5th, 2020 01:56 amIf you were to found out your loved one is a evil mastermind, would you stop them or join their side?
What are your favourite type of shoes?
Can you play chess? What colour do you prefer?
Do you know the dance steps to an annoying cheesy pop song?Would you rather live a normal, but boring life or a wild but unpredictable life?
Do you have any particular mad skills you like to divulge?
