Love it, love it, love it! Heeheehee, totally enjoyed your true confessions! And I really had no idea how much we have in common! - Not in common: OCD tendencies, neatness, packratness (in my case). But Jane Austen...Oh Yeah!

Oh, and I got married at 18. I thought it would be FUN. LOL!

This is hard to grasp. You have never drank, but you buy Ibuprofen in bulk, moon people, went streaking and vandalize people's homes. I'm thinking it's a darn good think you don't drink. I also buy Ibuprofen in bulk, but it's because I occasionally do drink :) Love your list!!!

I hope you are keeping a copy of your blogs for your personal journal. I sure have learned lots about you that I didn't know. :) So...doing that little smiley face there...does that mean I'm not an intelligent blogger? ha ha Just kidding.

The ibuprofen is because I get migraines and any headache I get I try to squash before it can become one. Most everyone who knew me as a teenager agreed it was a very good thing that I didn't drink. I was one of those who never needed any sort of chemical enhancement to be nuts.

I have no reason for my personal problem with emoticons. When other people use them, I don't mind but I can't seem to bring myself to use them. Just another one of my weirdo quirks.

I'm going to copy you. It will be a couple of years though!

Congrats on 100 posts! I forgot to do one myself... fooey. Maybe the next milestone?

BTW, I'm being very OCD here - but did you realize you forgot to put anything on #74 (I think 74, one of those numbers)? I noticed it when you first posted it, but this is my first time to get around to commenting :-P sorry.

Or are you just yanking our chains on that one??? :-)

Hi sweetpea, I love you so much and miss you a lot. Now that I'm stuck at work on nights and there is major drag-a@# time, in between the wack calls, and genuine emergent good quality, high stress, crazy, save the choking baby calls...I finally have time to catch up and read your blog,(that's why I finally joined facebook too), watch Gilmore Girls, which I'm going to be in depression soon, because I'm on the final season, piss me off. Oh well, I'll just have to start over, I guess. Why don't I remember Christopher and Lorelai getting married the first time around?!! Anyways, this is great, couple of comments...#11-ahhh yeah!#65-why you gots to tell our secrets? #71-that will be me. #74? #83-explain, I should know this.
