Very interesting. I don't think i could have bolded half of what you did ;-)
I've been too dang busy blogging!
What fun! Me too - have been heartbroken longer than actually in love. Thank God, those days are over;-)
What a well-rounded person you are! I'll try this too, and we can share numbers!
Haaay salamat at walang tinag. =)
Woot!
There are so many things on the list!
I've lost over 100 pounds. My parents made me retrace my steps until I found my sister. Boy was she pissed.
Thanks for completing the meme, Lizza. It was simple and fun. I will add it to your Book Meme Central file soon.
And by the way THANK YOU FOR THE BIRTHDAY WISHES and the BEAUTIFUL CAKE! YUMMMY. I ate it all up.
Shit. I did most of these! Does that make me weird? Or old?
Michael: Hah! Mimi's list is a lot "bolder"! :-)
Maryam: Oh, yes. Those days are but distant memories now. Haha!
Inamini: Thanks! There are still lots of things I want to do, though. I'll bet your list will show that you're even more well-rounded.
HB: Kita mo na, mabait din ako paminsan-minsan. Haha!
Kyels: You've probably done a lot of the things on the list, haven't you? ;-)
Mist1: Hahaha! Just goes to show what an obedient daughter you are.
Mimi: Thanks for thinking of me. Now go do some exercises to burn those cake calories! :-D Hope you had a wonderful birthday.
Scott: Possibly. Haha! Or maybe you're just really adventurous and well-rounded.
Impressive!
Too bad I am a couch potato! ;-)
Yeah, riiiight. :-) Couch potato, my ass. You do all that traveling and take all those great photos, Sidney.
Oh no that list...I was meant to do one ages ago and never got round to it cos some of the things I'd rather not admit to!
What booth did you have at the street fair?
What a cool list. You know things like this should be required submissions for first dates - then you'd have so much to talk about right out of the gate! Definitely a neat way to get to know people!
Tom
You mean you've never saved someone's life? Man, I though everybody did that.
What'd you sell at your street fair booth?
shadowfalcon: Haha, it's a fun list. Now you make me wonder what you don't want to admit to! Street food at a street fair! This was when I was a lot younger.
Tom: Yes it is. But some of them might scare away the other person. Like if she told you at the first date that she has touched a cockroach or caused a car accident. :-)
Kiyotoe: Haha! I'm such a klutz I'd probably end up accidentally killing another person instead of saving him! (Sold street food at a street fair many, many years ago.)
Lizza, Lizza Lizza...We really must get together so I can instruct you in the nuances of Number 60. Cheers...
Woo hoo hoo! That sounds like fun. Does it come with a free tuck-in after? Haha!
144. sold your own artwork to someone who didn't know you.
mmmmm im still waitin for that happen. oh wait, what am i sayin ? they arent for sale ! haha.
I think I built a hamburger from parts once, but not a PC.
Dang!
Ben O.
Great list!!! Thanks again for sharing more of you.
Peace
Always free for you my friend...
Deb: So when are you going to do ones for commercial purposes? :-)
Ben: Jeez, you've got a marketable talent there!
Odat: Thanks n'shit. :-) Yours was a great read, too.
Matt: Haha, that's good to know. :-)
sigh when im good enough.. which is prolly ever unlikely...
sympathy buys anyone ? XD
Slept under the stars...
Sat under the stars with fireworks once...
The feeling was great
Girl, You got a long way to go. Pack an exttra pair o' underoos.
Ooh another meme I can do..that was so interesting...I will do your other tag tomorrow or Sunday - have been offline for a few days.
Take care - and have a good weekend Lizza.
Deb: You know you're more than good enough!
ZI: Those sound great. *sigh*
anonymous: I know! I've barely started to live. *sob*
Thanks for the underoos tip.
Wendz: Looking forward to reading yours! Wishing you a good weekend, too.
你好,我是中国的朋友
you are one helluva generous, passionate lady. really really admire that girl.
hats off.
and rah rah rah rah rah... way to go girl!
Too passionate for my own good, sometimes. Haha!
haven't been here in a while...been so busy...but this is a great list! so, you bought everyone in the bar a drink??! that sounds expensive! were there a lot of people there? why did you do it?
How many times do I have to say it... there is NOTHING wrong with alphabetizing CDs. Or chronologically ordering the CDs within the alphabetized artists...
Hmm..alphabetising CDs... I have a personal library with over 500 titles arranged by genre (and sub-categorized by languages since it holds books in 4 lingos.) It has also been catalogued by author as well as alphabetically using a C++ program. All the hard work done by yours truly.
???: ??? to you, too! :-D
Jessica: Has Mariposas been keeping you busy? It's great to see your beauteous face here again. That bar thing happened a long, long time ago. I think there were only 8 customers at the time, hah! I think I did it to show off. Pathetic, I know.
Gumby: To hell with shades of OCD! We rule!
Julia Scissor: You kick ass. I can do what you do, except for the C++ program thingy. Programming=numbers=so not me. :-)
