I was looking at other people's blogs, and I happend across one blog where someone decided to post "100 things about me" and I was intrigued by the concept. It wasn't like she was responding to other people's questions or anything, it was more of a stream-of-consciousness king of thing, and so I've decided to give this a try. Here goes nothin'!

1. There is a part of me that really enjoys watching some infomercials and the shop at home network on tv at 3 AM... I don't know why.
2. With regards to my infomercial as a "guilty pleasure" I've never ordered anything I've watched an infomercial for.
3. Tony Little (that guy who tries to sell "The Gazelle") and Anthony Robbins (the guy who does life affirmation and reformation tapes) both terrify me and I refuse to watch any of their infomercials.
4. I am a sports junkie.
5. I name inanimate objects, such as stuffed animals, plants, etc.
6. My favorite beer is Guinness Extra Stout, but I can never find it anywhere... and this upsets me.
7. I love to paint, but I hate acrylics.
8. I came into college knowing that I wanted to pursue my interest in art, but since I know it's a real bitch trying to make a living as an artist I was too chicken shit to major in a fine arts degree.
9. Unlike many girls I don't have a problem killing bugs, there are two exceptions to this: Cockroaches and the creepy crawlies that lived in my last apartment... they freak me out A LOT.
10. I have a tendency to be brutally honest with just about everyone I meet.
11. I don't eat beef... I'll eat any other meat, but no beef, and I haven't eaten beef in over 5 years.
12. Living by a burger king recently caused me to have a major craving for a hamburger... I had a turkey burger, and that was good enough.
13. I have a tendency to develop crushes on unavailable and unattainable men around me... despite knowing this, I continue to do it time after time.
14. I love taking showers when highly intoxicated... I know that for many reasons this is a dangerous habit, but it's not one I plan on stopping.
15. I have always gone to Catholic school. (even now in college)
16. When I was in middle school I was on the speech team, and I competed in the original oratory category, and I still remember every word of the opening paragraphs of all the speeches I ever gave.
17. The best compliment I ever got was given to me in the form of magnetic poetry. It read quite simply, "You shimmer."
18. I love getting mail.
19. I once had a pen-pal in France, her name was Letitia Stalin, I only ever got one letter from her.
20. I have short, fat fingers, and I'm ok with that.
21. The last movie I saw in the theater was Garden State, and I loved it!
22. The only movie in my collection that I regret buying has to be Monster's Ball... I just really don't like this movie.
23. I went to Europe the summer after my senior year of high school, and my favorite European city has to be Florence, Italy.
24. I once dated a Scottish boy, and I still miss him.
25. Dating my Scottish boy has absoutely ruined any chance of me enjoying my friends' attempts at faking the accent...
26. I thank the good lord almost every day for caller ID.
27. My favorite color is cobalt blue, but I decorate more with soft greens.
28. I still remember the combination to my locker in the fifth grade. (Locker 14, combo: 2- 15- 28)
29. I have an addiction to driving. This is why when I go home, I drive as much as possible.
30. When I drive I love to speed.
31. One semester of my college education costs more than my oldest sister's entire 4 year degree... I guess that's why I'm paying for it.
32. I have never purchased a scratch-off lottery ticket.
33. I find that when I'm really ill, (ill to the extent of having body aches and fever, etc.) I feel a lot better if I just lay on the kitchen floor.
34. Calla lilies are my favorite flower.
35. I have a problem seriously saying no to people despite the fact that I can say no to someone sarcastically with great ease.
36. When I was a little kid I was mad at my brother for some reason, so I gave him a dead fly and told him it was a raisin... he definitely ate it, and I don't think I ever mentioned that to him.
37. I have never taken my academic growth seriously.
38. My two favorite books are White Oleander by Janet Fitch and The End of the Affair by Graham Greene.
39. My friend Joyce got me hooked on a Hawaiian treat called "Mele-kaliki-macs" and every year she says she'll send me some for Christmas, and she never does, and that always bothers me.
40. My friend and former-roommate Kirsten and I have the best idea ever for a reality show, even though reality shows are the most detestable form of television entertainment, I'd still do this one if the idea ever got picked up.
41. I love crime-related shows, like Law & Order, Cold Case Files, Forensic Files, City Confidential, etc.
42. I once dated a boy who was bitten by a shark and was also blind in one eye. And when we were "on a break" he was shamelessy flirting with another girl in front of me, so I made out with his best friend. (This is the most regrettable thing I've ever done in a relationship)
43. I hate it when people ask me what my favorite movie is, because so many movies are so good in so many different ways I can never pick just one.
44. I love a good cup of coffee, but I hate tea.
45. I can honestly say that I don't remember my dad attending any sporting event I've ever participated in.

48. People I've never met quite frequently tell me they think they've seen me somewhere, or that I look very familiar.
49. My favorite old TV show has to be Welcome Back Kotter.

51. I have never been to Las Vegas, but I really want to go.
52. When I was a little kid, my favorite toy in the toy box at my grandparents' house was a kind of a sock-puppet- baby named Naybob.

60. I have trouble sleeping when I don't have my body pillow to "cuddle"
61. Recently I've gone on a kick of eating sushi from one of the campus dining facilities, on a near-daily basis... it's not the best sushi I've ever had by any means, but it does the trick.
62. I talk to my mom every day, (most days we talk multiple times) but I don't talk to other members of my family nearly as much as I should.
63. Thin mints are BY FAR my favorite girl scout cookie.
64. I am definitely a dog person.
