* Self-Made 0
+
* You give a thing or object that could reasonably be referred to as your heart to somebody, or something becomes your heart that you’ve recently given to somebody else!
 +
* Your friends knock you out, tie you up, blindfold you, or otherwise impose an extreme inconvenience on you for what seem to be good reasons at the time.
 +
