LOVE your list! I started one of these lists myself, but I haven't had time to finish.
#20) me neither
#21) sounds like what's in my future.
#30) never cheated on him
#88) for years, my parents thought I had an eating disorder. I never did, I was just thin(this was on my list too).
I'm gonna go get on my list now!
Nice getting to know you. I did one of these so long ago, at least months, and I'm trying to find it and link to it on the main page. Keep it coming :)
Fantastic! what a great way to let everyone know about you, its nice to know there are others who have had similar life experiences. I think I just might have to do one of these on my blog.
Sounds great. We are actually a lot alike. I have never made out with any famous people though. LOL.
I think you would make a great mother, too.
cool list. You are very intersting.
I wish more people were as adamant about not owning minivans. Making out with famous people would be cool, then again I'm so unattractive I could probably only get Richard Simmons. And I'm straight.
yowza. that's a lot to digest. interesting about 29 and 30. i recently hooked up with someone who cheated on their b/f and felt no guilt, and then said they wanted to be with me. i wondered if cheating is something that i'd always have to worry about with him or if you just don't cheat when you've finally found the "one"? thoughts?
Amazing list! I bet you were able to reinforce a lot of aspects about yourself while making this...good way for self exploration and affirmation, I may have to do just the same. You seem like such a sweetheart who has gone through a lot and are looking towards a bright yet new and challanging future!
I totally relate to #'s 7, 25, 72, 93 & 94 sista!
Highcontrast: I think that all the cheating and games that goes on pre- finding "The One" doesn't really count.. b/c you were just exploring to find out who is right for you..What does count is that after finding this person who really matters to you, staying true to them and most importantly yourself. (awwe)
alannajoy
Highcontrast: Most of the times I put myself in relationships that were lacking in some way, I would then look outside of them to fill that "void".
Alanajoy: talk about self exploration! It's strange to make a list like this and read back over it...also scary to put so much of yourself out there. Many people may not agree with so much of it. I look back at it and say, "wow, this isn't just a list...it's my life." I left so much out also. You should try it...definitely interesting.
I think I might try it also. Thanks for your sharing so much of yourself.
P.S. I cry every damn Sunday night too. LOL
Thanks for telling us a hundred things about yourself :) U should use a brighter font, dull green looks hardly visible against a black background :) u said u were a Christian before, so you would no who to turn to to quell your fears of getting old and death :)
Wow... thank you soo much for commenting on my blog. that was very sweet of you. I really enjoyed reading your post too. Very nice getting to know you all the way from south africa. All the best on your "new" home and hope everything works out for the best.
Wow, you are beautiful. No, i am not bisexual or lesbian, just i appreciate beauty of another woman. ;)
it is amazing how life goes chitney, thanks for the wonderful words...I don't know about successful and inspirational, I feel far from that, but it means a lot to hear that.
I too love your list! I have some of the same things on my list....it's all in my head! maybe one day I'll be brutally honest and blog it! Your pictures on your blog are amazing!
WOW - some of that was sad, yet you must be such a strong person for it all now!?
Thanks for the honesty - its a bit of an eye-opener. You sound like such a Legend!
Came back to visit to see how you were doing in your new city. LOVE the list. As you could see from mine (http://rtbetts.modblog.com) I have not made it to 100 yet. I did however quit using that site and am going to transfer the list as soon as I reach 100 to my blogger account. See you soon.
