100 Things

Apparently, this "100 things about you" germ is going around the blogosphere. I have been officially challenged to write a post containing 100 things that you, the reader, may not know about me. After I write this, I'm going to CHALLENGE Brooke to an American Gladiators style Joust! Take that! I'm unsure whether I have the stamina to write, and you have the stamina to read 100 things. So I'll start, and when I get bored, odds are you will be too. And we will both know its time to stop.
