53. I have never gone out on a date...yet.
54. I also don't feel like going out on a date anytime soon. Unless there were a golf-playing, manga-reading, anime-watching, track-running, non-smoking, computer-loving, out-going, and in-going kind of girl. That would be cool.

68. My funniest teachers: my english teacher, my biology teacher, and my geometry teacher.
69. See the connection?
70. I find it exponentially harder to write something about myself as this list grows longer and longer with each post. It is especially hard to write something clever about myself.
71. It's amazing that I've been around for about 14 years and I find it difficult to say only 100 things about myself. I know so little about someone I've known my entire life.
72. I don't have a favorite color. It used to be blue, then it went to red, now I don't really know anymore. The color's gone out of my life, so what's the point?
73. A lot of the time, I ponder about completely useless stuff for long periods of time.
74. For example, if someone were truly tolerant, they would also have to tolerate intolerant ideas. That's some brain food for ya'.
75. Or another one: why is there braille on the drive through bank teller.
76. Also, I wonder whats greater, adding infinity to a number, or multiplying it to that same number.
77. Stupid stuff like that.

87. 1 0f73N f1nD 17 4nN0y1nG wh3n 50m30n3 7yp35 1n 1337. D0n'7 y0u?
88. Or when sum homie tryz ta' type all ghetto, G. Cuz wen' you type lyke dat', u soun' stupid.
89. I like listening to a wide assortment of music, not including rap, hip hop, r & b, pop, etc.
90. But I do like techno.
91. And I also like two rap songs.
92. Rapper's Delight by the Sugarhill Gang.
93. And the Superbowl Shuffle, baby!
94. I also like Buttercup, by the Temptations, which you are listening to right now!
95. Argh! I have a mental roadblock right now
96. But I must think of more witty things to say!
97. I am so tired.
98. I dislike getting my right contact ripped while it is istill in my eye. This just happened right now.
99. I can barely see right now.
100. I'm getting...dizzy...


--Wow. I can't believe I just did that. Looking back at this list, I just realized that 100 things is nowhere near enough to give some insight into my life, to define it. Most of it is superficial nonsense, and some doesn't even make sense. Anyway, my point is that if my life were defined by the 100 things above, then I would be a nobody, a loser, a mere shell of what I am.
