I have Facebook stalked him to no avail. I had no trouble finding Tony, though, but, of course, he's not as interesting to me.Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12581247.post-40038278618957476842013-03-09T20:35:56.632-05:002013-03-09T20:35:56.632-05:00Whoa.

Not to mention wondering what sort of home life he had as a child. But, then, sometimes kids just do random weird things in weird moments (I can certainly vouch for that personally). I can say for certain that childhood would've been much less "exciting" without the Ricky types.

Anyway, I'm A to Z-ing it this April and wanted to wish you lots of fun and new friendships forged along the way. I've also chosen you for the Liebster Award. Come to my site and check it out. It's a great way to meet other writers and get the chance to really know them.
