If you were to make a list of 100 things that you think are worthy of a list of 100 things, what would be on it? Some of the above really are points of pride for me, but some seem like no big deal. Some of the things I HAVEN'T done on the above list don't seem super interesting... Still, you know nothing fascinates me more than myself.

I'm kinda glad you couldn't turn off my bolds--it's interesting to so easily see what we had in common. I agree with you--having a pillow fight wouldn't be in my top 100, among other things.
Now I have few questions... :)
xxxooo
What the hell does "Taught yourself an art from scratch" even MEAN? From scratch? That'd be inventing an art, wouldn't it? I mean, teaching yourself an established art from scratch . . . no make sense-y. If it means learning about and then "doing" an art, from the basics up, then, Laurie, you've done that and you can highlight it. If it means making up an art (as "from scratch" implies) then, Laurie, you've done THAT and you can highlight it.
You can add "been on a speeding motorcycle. Before we were married we visited Richard the Crazy Canadian Captain with Mark and Diane. Richard had a motorcycle, a "crotch-rocket" is the current term for that style of motorcycle, and I gave you a ride on it. You wore the helmet, which was so big on you that it slipped over the front of your face. Had it not obscured your view of the blurred landscape, you would have known that I had taken you on a ride down Woodman Ave. at 110 mph.
Oh, to be young again!
