Just kidding. Actually 99 comments about me - ha tricked you. These memes spread around the internet like a bad case of herpes. After seeing this one several times, with variations, I've decided to suck it up and get it done. Partially because I have no witty thoughts today and partially because hey, it's all about me here.
1. I don't like using Decimal Tabs in Word because I don't get it
2. I'm outgoing but somehow still shy, especially in business settings. Maybe this is because I feel out of place.

4. I never take the pills, I just look at them
5. I was an aspiring anorexic in Junior High and jealous of the girls in magazines who weighed 90 pounds
6. I like golfing 3/4 because I'm decent at it and 1/4 because guys like it that I play

8. If I could throw out all the papers on my desk and start over, I would
9. I'm a firm believer that ranch dressing tastes good on everything
10. I use the handicap button on doors, partially because I'm too lazy to hold it for the next person but don't want to let it go in their face and partially just because it's there

12. I actually like rain. It's refreshing, peaceful and smells good

When I was a kid porn star names were worked out using first pet's name and mother's maiden name. That's how mine is "Frisky Part". Oh yeah, bow down before that one!
Great. Now I can copy off of you for my next blog post.
Aw, I'll cook you whatever you want if you come visit! And I still blame Kris for your pseudo-vegetarian stage. (Don't know if it's really his fault, but he's fun to blame.)
porn star name: tia norton.
when i lived in calgary, i lived in beddington. this may or may not be in the area of where your street was. but now that i think of it, beddington boulevard sounds really nice, so i hope you lived on a boulevard.
finally, your 99 things rocked. i was actually entertained through them all. usually, i don't make it past the 1/2 way point on these things.
34. The only time I like smoking weed is when I'm meticulously cleaning my house - I get super detailed and end up cleaning window sills with toothpicks.
Seriously??? I like to eat everything in sight and then pass out surrounded by candy bar wrappers LOL
Love your list!
You had me at Ranch Dressing.
20. I've had a poem published but now I hate it
can i read it?:)
Imaginary - That's quite the porn star name almost like it's your destiny
Dr.Z - Have at it...it's hard to think of 99 things that people will give a crap about
Lindsay - Goody! I don't think entirely Kris' fault but he may have helped
Heartbreaker - My street was in Beddington, that's funny - when did you live there? And thanks!
Ringleader - well I eat a ton of junk while I clean and when I'm done? I sit on the couch eating more.
Jon - soulmate?
Claudel - It's truly awful, a 16 year olds venting you don't want to read it, trust me!
I can help with your insomnia - read my own "100 things about me" meme thing, guaranteed to put you to sleep!
#52 - Are you Britney Spears!?!?!
This took a while to read, too, but it was well worth it -- if only to feel better about myself for owning just ONE cat, you crazy-ass scary cat lady. HA!
In other news, I might have a crush on you.
Good Lord, that is a lot of information. I would have given up on my own list circa item 8.
I love reading these things. I hate smart cars too. They look like wind-up toys to me.
i'm with the imaginary reviewer re: how to work out your porn name - because i never had a pet i used my first teddy bear instead which made me "cuddles tonner". not very porny.
i hate wet lycra too (especially when you put clothes on over it and the wet soaks through - ew!) and sounds like we have a similar colour(s) of eyes . . . wish i had the brilliant vision though!!!
oh and also, where in scotland did you go?
Wow, there are a handful of things on your list that sound so eerily like me! I can't believe there is someone else out there that likes to clean when they smoke weed!
Poobomber - I'm definitely taking you up on that
Sarah-E Oh I really hope not, but it's possible I suppose
Falw - I think I have a crush on you too, because you made it through the whole thing
Pistols - trust me, trying to think of 99 things was pretty much like torture (for you or for me I'm not sure)
Baking - they're usually a good way to find out lots! Smart cars are awful
Paula - oh wet lycra + dry clothes = I'm itchy just thinking about it!
I went to Edinburgh, Glasgow and throughout that area, it was beautiful!
Lyla - awesome! I thought I was the only one!
I love this post!
Translation: I'm totally going to jack your post!
Although I'm feel fairly confident it is going to take me about a year to put together....
What a great list, even if ranch dressing is disgusting :) You've led an interesting life. If I made a list like this I'd run out at about #8.
Came over through Falwless's guest post. You're hilarious; I'm adding you!
I marinate my chicken breasts w/ Ranch (has to be Hidden Valley), then coat w/ bread crumbs & bake!
I hate water chestnuts too; they remind me of raw potatoes.
My name isn't Alice either!
I love that you use the handicapped button on doors.
6 things:
-I also believe in astrology, but mostly only the ones that you put in your actual birth time, not just the 12 signs. I hate when people are not open minded about this.
-I suffer from middle-child syndrome, along with atleast four of my siblings.
-I will never own a minivan, ever.
-I LOVE the rain!
-The thought of drinking a glass of milk makes me want to vomit unless you add chocolate to it :)
-Sometimes I think that I never want children, even though I love them. And I secretly hate myself for thinking that.
I live in Calgary too. And my porn name would be Jasmine Beddington... and I was around 6 when the Olympics happened. Would be so weird if we knew each other when we were little. I left Beddington when I was about 10.
I randomly found your blog the way most blogs are found...I have no idea.
