- i first became intrigued by blogs when i found ones with "100 things" on them. i was addicted for a while. so, here it is, a list of 100 things that i have decided to share with you about myself. i would definitely recommend doing this; not only is it funny to try and think of things that are interresting or weird about yourself, but you might actually learn something, too (as corny as it sounds).

35. due to complications with my ears, i did not start swimming until i was 10 years old. i still don't swim well.

42. despite this fact, i hate using capital letters.
43. i once got docked marks on an english paper for not putting capitals on my name.

50. i like to pretend i'm organized.
51. i'm not organized.
52. the best breakfast, in my opinion, is a bagel with cream cheese.
53. recently, i have fallen in love with the colour green. it has to be deep, though, otherwise it either looks like vomit, urine, or snot, none of which are pleasant bodily functions.

58. it bothers me when my friends make more money than i do.
59. i heart math.
60. my feet are just about the smelliest feet there are. sometimes at work i'll be walking around, and i'll catch a whiff of something raunchy. then, i'll realize that i'm smelling my own feet, which are approximately five feet from my nose.

69. <---- something i have never tried.
70. one of the best moments of my life (sad but true) was when my friends and i went to a soccer field where there were lots of seagulls. we all held hands in a line and ran at them screaming at the top of our lungs until they had all flown away. it was liberating.
71. i learn phone numbers really fast.
72. i don't run really fast.
73. nto a huge fan of cake, cupcakes, or other such confectionary items.
74. even though they tell you "don't judge a book by it's cover", that's exactly what i do. i believe that's the most accurate way to judge things. people are aware that the cover is being seen, so the way they present it is the way they want it to be taken.

80. but i'm not gay.

89. my mom planted a birch tree in our front lawn.
90. each of my closest friends has some talent/ability that makes them really special.

93. nothing tragic has ever happened to me.
94. there are four neat lamps and a giant watch-clock in my room.
95. i think trees are a lot more interseting than statues.
