100 MORE things about ME!

I promise this is it. I won't bore you with 100 MORE after this~!
I found this quite a challenge [and I love challenges]. It was actually interesting to learn more about myself as I was writing these down. I made it a goal to keep writing and writing until I had written 100 more things. It wasn't hard until I got to about # 65. Then things started to slow down.
________________________________
Leave me a link to your 100 list. I'd love to learn more about YOU!
