100+ Things Meme

by
This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on June 6, 2005). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

I picked this up from Terrance.

I’ve always wanted to do one of those “100 things about me” posts, but I’ve never been able to think of 100 things that I wanted to list. This seemed like an easy way of doing it.

If you want to participate, here’s what you do. Copy this list to your blog. Bold the ones that are true for you. Add something that’s true about you.

(I’m also italicizing things that are ‘somewhat’ true, and including an explanation below. That’s not part of the original instructions, though….)

Here goes.

  1. I miss somebody right now.

  2. I don’t watch much TV these days.

  3. I love olives

  4. I own lots of books.

  5. There is no number five!

    Or, at least, there was no number five in Terrance’s post that I ganked this from, Lauren’s post that he got it from, or Kim’s post that she got it from. Kim didn’t source it further backwards.

  6. I wear glasses or contact lenses.

  7. I love to play video games.

  8. I’ve tried marijuana.

    And it bored me to tears. I got stupid, hungry, and sleepy — three things which I do quite well on my own without paying $40 an eighth.

  9. I’ve watched porn movies.

    Not quite as boring as smoking pot, but close.

  10. I have been in a threesome.

  11. I have been the psycho-ex in a past relationship.

  12. I believe honesty is usually the best policy.

  13. There is no number thirteen!

  14. There is no number fourteen!

  15. I curse sometimes.

  16. I have changed a lot mentally over the last year.

  17. I have a hobby.

  18. There is no number eighteen!)

  19. I carry my knife/razor everywhere with me.

  20. I’m TOTALLY smart.

    “S-M-R-T…smart!”

  21. I’ve never broken someone’s bones.

  22. I have a secret that I am ashamed to reveal.

  23. I hate the rain.

  24. I’m paranoid at times.

  25. I would get plastic surgery if it were 100% safe, free of cost, and scar-free.

  26. I need money right now.

    Well, okay, maybe not need, but I could sure use it!

  27. I love sushi.

  28. I talk really, really fast.

  29. I have fresh breath in the morning.

  30. I have long hair.

    Longish (getting close to shoulder length in the back), and getting longer.

  31. I have lost money in Las Vegas.

  32. I have at least one brother and/or one sister.

  33. I was born in a country outside of the U.S.

  34. I shave my legs (females) or face (males) on a regular basis.

    I keep my face fuzz neatly trimmed along my jawline, so while it’s not a full shave, I do have to hack the growth off of my cheeks fairly regularly.

  35. I have a twin (or a triplet, or somesuch).

  36. I have worn fake hair/fingernails/eyelashes in the past.

  37. I couldn’t survive without Caller I.D.

  38. I like the way that I look.

  39. I have lied to a good friend in the last 6 months.

  40. I know how to cornrow.

  41. I am usually pessimistic.

  42. I have a lot of mood swings.

  43. I think prostitution should be legalized.

  44. I think Britney Spears is pretty.

    At her best, yes, in an admittedly pop-tart-y kind of way (that is, pop princess and tart, not fruit-filled confectionary). At her most white trash-y, oh lord no.

  45. Slept with a Suitemate.

  46. I have a hidden talent.

    I tend to be fairly public with my talents (ahem…no, no innuendo there at all…).

  47. I’m always hyper no matter how much sugar I have.

  48. I have a lot of friends.

  49. I am currently single.

  50. I have pecked someone of the same sex. (given that pecked means kissed…)

  51. I enjoy talking on the phone.

  52. I practically live in sweatpants or PJ pants.

  53. I love to shop.

  54. I would rather shop than eat.

  55. I would classify myself as ghetto.

  56. I’m bourgie and have worn a sweater tied around my shoulders.

  57. I’m obsessed with my Xanga or Livejournal.

    Interpreting “Xanga or LiveJournal” to mean “whatever sort of weblogging client/system/software I use”…and while “obsessed” might be a bit on the strong side, it may not be by much.

  58. I don’t hate anyone. I dislike them.

  59. I’m a pretty good dancer

    Many people might argue that this should be an actual bolded item — I’ve certainly gotten many compliments on my dancing. However, there’s a reason that I tend to term what I do as “bouncing”. Waltz? Swing? Rhumba? (Lambada?) No clue (though that’s something I’d like to change eventually). So, bouncing around on a dance floor? Yeah, love it, and have been told I do it well. But dance? Naah.

  60. I don’t think Mike Tyson raped Desiree Washington.

    I neither know nor care.

  61. I’m completely embarrassed to be seen with my mother.

  62. I have a cell phone.

  63. I believe in God.

    On the one hand, I was brought up Episcopalian. On the other hand, I have an at times too-logical brain that has difficulties putting absolute faith in something I have no tangible scientific proof of. I end up somewhere in the middle, vacillating between the two depending on mood or situation.

  64. I watch MTV on a daily basis.

  65. I have passed out drunk in the past 6 months.

  66. I love drama. (Somebody else’s, not my own)

  67. I have never been in a real relationship before.

  68. I’ve rejected someone before.

  69. I currently have a crush/like someone.

    Most obviously, my girlfriend. In addition, though, there’s a few other women I know — some better than others — that I drool over quite regularly. Thankfully, Prairie’s amused by and quite tolerant of this habit of mine.

  70. I have no idea what I want to do for the rest of my life.

  71. I want to have children in the future.

  72. I have changed a diaper before.

  73. I’ve called the cops on a friend before.

  74. I bite my nails.

    Bite, no, but I’ve never quite broken the habit of picking at them.

  75. I am a member of the Tom Green fan club.

  76. I’m not allergic to anything.

    …that I know of, though the past few springs are leading me to suspect that I may be allergic to some flowering plant common to Washington but not to Alaska.

  77. I have a lot to learn.

  78. I have been with someone at least 10 years older or younger.

  79. I plan on seeing Ice Cube’s newest “Friday” movie.

  80. I am shy around the opposite sex.

  81. I’m online 24/7, even as an away message.

  82. I have at least 5 away messages saved.

  83. I have tried alcohol or drugs before.

  84. I have made a move on a friend’s significant other or crush in the past.

  85. I own the “South Park” movie.

  86. I have avoided assignments at work or school to be on Xanga or Livejournal.

  87. When I was a kid I played “the birds and the bees” with a neighbor or chum.

  88. I enjoy some country music.

  89. I would die for my best friends.

    Maybe, depending on which friend and what the situation was. There’s no way to know until I’m in that situation, however, and I hope never to end up there.

  90. I think that Pizza Hut has the best pizza.

  91. I watch soap operas whenever I can

  92. I’m obsessive, anal retentive, and often a perfectionist.

    At times, I can be any or all of the three, though I wouldn’t say that they’re across the board, all the time traits.

  93. I have used my sexuality to advance my career.

  94. I love Michael Jackson, scandals and all.

  95. I know all the words to Slick Rick’s “Children’s Story”.

  96. Halloween is awesome because you get free candy.

  97. I watch Spongebob Squarepants and I like it.

  98. I have dated a close friend’s ex.

  101. I’m obsessed with guys.

  102. I am bisexual.

  115. I have jumped off a bridge.

  116. I love sea turtles.

  117. I spend ridiculous amounts of money on makeup.

  118. I believe in prophetic dreams.

    I’ve often experienced “deja vu” that I swear happens because I dreamt the particular situation in the past. However, my memory of my dreams is often shakey and imprecise (most I don’t remember at all), so I’m never entirely sure about this.

  119. I plan on achieving a major goal/dream.

  120. I am proficient on a musical instrument.

  121. I worked at McDonald’s restaurant. (How about Burger King?)

  122. I hate office jobs.

  123. I love sci-fi movies.

  124. I’ve never been in love.

  125. I think water rules.

  132. I have been intentionally hurt by people that I loved.

  133. I love kisses.

  134. I fall for the worst people and have been hurt every time.

    Thankfully, this trend seems to have stopped. Funny, looking back, this trait seems to be roughly inversely proportional to my own maturity and emotional stability. Gee, imagine that!

  135. I adore bright colors.

  136. I love Dear Abby.

  137. I can’t live without black eyeliner.

  149. I can move my tounge in waves, much like a snakes’ slither.

  150. I have ridden/owned a horse.

  151. I still have every journal I’ve ever written in. (And every note someone wrote to me in high school. This comes in handy years later when you want to mortify your friends and enemies. And yourself.)

  152. I can tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tounge.

  153. I regularly eschew wearing pants (in my case, I prefer my Utilikilts).
