yeah... lol that's what I get for not really reading ALL of the directions!
Gonna drop this challenge - that's a little to structured for my own personal spazzyness lol

I love the challenge and I'm thinking I may do more than one round after I finish this first one :)

See, everyone is different. I LOVE alliterations, so I feel a little ...excuse me for being indelicate...(view spoiler) I feel if I could just get the first one, I'd be fine. So, I'm NOT giving up yet.

I didn't realise it could be character names till someone said the other day. I never remember peoples surnames although i'm sure I would have noticed a double.
