After reading so many of these, it's fun to see some of the reasons why you are friends with people. I KNOW Marie and I are friends because we both hate Appleby's. =) Anyway, I've been writing things down over the last few days...let's see if I can come up with 100.
1. I have a serious phobia of ear wax.
2. I have a very large scar on my left thigh from a coffee spill when I was 2.
3. Someday I'd really like to write a book.
4. One of my all time favorite movies is Independence Day. Mock if you must, but I stand by it.
