I'd love to hear what you think about yourself or me no matter how many you come up with. Hope you all enjoy getting to know me a little better.

Ok, I was really glad that I knew a lot of those!! It shows we're good friends... I was scared for a minute I wouldn't know anything you said about yourself.. but... I did! haha
I loved everything you said... you're a amazing person sweety :)
An I'm so glad you did it! I hope that it passes on to others... it's nice to learn totally random cool things about your friends. So worth the time..
Now I just gotta finish mine... :)
I enjoyed it immensely. I'd agree with alot of your list too.
Some thoughts...
4) Dude your so right. I went for a veerrry short hike there last week. Fall has barely started but its really beautiful already. I want to go on another one soon...
7) Murderer! ;p
19) So cool.... I think I told you my parents sky dived, right?
21) Completely? Like, what about in a fireplace, on a cold dark night?
57) Not vain at all if they are as cool as yours
67) *motions with hands * Knife through the heart! Though my appreciation for soda is diminishing, coffee is my soul drink (you know, like soulfood but...liquider?) I maintain that you never gave it enough chance. Sure, some of the more mundane types that are commonly drunk are not all that great if you haven't got a taste for it yet... but you have to have a REAL cup coffee before you can turn it totally down. Something something fresh, roasted that day if possible by expert roaster- not to acidic, not burnt, full bodied...
90) Thats interesting... I wish I dreamed (or technically, remembered my dreams) more. (To make up for it I just day dream a lot) (That was too many parenthetical statements).
Sweet list. It's making me flirt with the idea of doing one myself, though 100 things to fill does sound like a lot.
In reply to Zeke....
7) Being very slow, I don't get that. :)
19) I think I remember you mentioning that....
21) I love fires in the fireplace but I am still scared of them. It takes a lot of courage (and desperation) for me to get close to them but I find them fascinatingly beautiful.
57) Awww, thanks :)
67) Ok, how about once I'm off the caffeine restriction I'll let you introduce me to a "real" cup of coffee and then I will make up my mind. Deal?
90) I day dream a whole lot since I like it much better than dreaming at night.
You really should try it. You discover things about yourself when you really have to think about it.
7) Wait... *goes back and reads 7* Ooohh, no your not slow. I meant 6, haha... my bad!
21) Ahh, I see. I'll make a mental note to not pass to close to you if I am roasting a marshmallow over a fire (I like to set them alight for that nice and crispy taste)
57) 'Welcome.
67) Oh yeah...forgot about the diet restrictions. But after that- we have a deal :)
90) Ironically, its when I am trying to sleep that I do a lot of my day dreaming. That and long boring talks- though I try not to zone out, I have been known to think up routes to world domination when some one starts droning on. (I wonder what that says about myself...?)
Oh and I forgot-
37) Dude, you've got to come to the candle light stroll at Strawberry Banke this december. They have a cider shack- amazing music, cider and donuts. :D
