I’m a big fan of conformity. In fact, I don’t think there is enough in the world. Too many people are trying to be original and that’s a shame. Conforming is comforting. I mean, show me a person who hasn’t had a good time following their friends off a bridge and I will show you a liar. Thus, when I started noticing every freaking blogger has listed a 100 things about them I jumped on the bandwagon (and off the metaphoric bridge).
