So I can't think of anything more interesting to write about, so I will continue talking about myself. I'm interesting. Actually, writing about me is rather educational for me. I'm learning lots about myself.
21) one of my favourite books is As the Crow Flies by Jeffrey Archer. I think I've read it at least 10 times. Everytime I read it I notice something new. I never get tired of reading it and althought I know how it ends I still can't put it down when I get close to the end because I have to keep reading to fnd out what happens next. It's a really good book. If you haven't read it you really should.
22) My favourite book of all times is The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery. I think I like it so much because I identify with Valancy. I see a lot of myself in her character. Everytime I read it I think that I should start saying exactly what I think and do whatever I want. You may not believe this, but I don't actually say everything I think. Really.
23) I read the Amityville Horror about 15 years ago and it still scares me. I think statues of lions are really creepy because of this book.
24) I like books. I know, shocking. I have a lot of them. I keep buying them even though I know I can't take them all home with me. I'm not sure how I will be able to part with my books here. It will be hard. I'll stop talking about books now.
25) It really bothers me when people point out to me that I got a sunburn. Do you think I didn't notice? Trust me, I know. You don't have to tell me. If I go outside I will get a sunburn, even with sunscreen. Side effect of being a pale red-head.
26) I am really disappointed that Skittles changed the green from lime to green apple. How does green apple go with orange and lemon? Why would I want green apple when I could have lime? I just don't understand.
27) When I was in elementary school I wanted to be an author. I still think I should write a book. I have ideas and one of these days I may get around to writing those ideas down. My life's ambition no longer is to be an author, but I think it would still be fun.
28) I don't like cashews. I think I must be the only person in the world who doesn't like them. I know, it's weird, but I think they kind of taste rotten.
29) One of my biggest fears is looking stupid. I think that's what holds me back a lot. I don't want to do things because I think I won't be good at it and I'll look dumb for trying so it's better to not try. I am getting over this a little, but I worry about it a lot.
30) I love to cook but I don't usually bother to cook for myself. I don't really see the point when I am the only one eating it so I usually end up eating salad or sandwiches. I like to cook when other people are going to eat it. I can't resist showing off.
31) I wish that I hadn't been so shy when I was in high school. I think I would have had way more fun. As it is, I don't have many good memories from school because I was too shy and quiet to actually do anything.
32) I'm really scared of ticks. I still remember the first time I saw one. I don't know how old I was, but I know I was young because I was sleeping in a crib at Grandma Taylor's house in the girls' room. A tick crawled across my pillow and freaked me out. I have been scared of them ever since.
33) I really need to dust. I can see a layer of dust on my bookshelves, but I probably won't get around to dusting for a very long time. Dusting goes with washing dishes as something I really don't like to do.
34) I hate the sound of swallowing. You know when you take a drink and swallow loudly? That sound. I can't even make that sound. I know Joyce can, and Xavier is really good at it. There was a commercial on TV here that had the sound. I drove me creazy.
35) Computers are a mystery to me. I don't know anything about them. When people start in with the computer talk I hear "blah blah blah". I don't understand anything they say. Sometimes it bothers me that I have absolutely no clue about computers, but mostly I just don't care.
36) When I was on vacation I went two whole days without wearing makeup. It was hard, but I managed. I have worn makeup everyday since.
37) I'm finding this very difficult today. I keep thinking of something I could say and then think that no one would care about that. The self-depricating attitude is not very helpful.
38) I love to look at the stars. I like to just sit outside and look. It's very relaxing.
39) I joined taekwondo last summer because Leah nagged me. I'm glad she did because I really like it. I have never been a sporty person, but I think I could be with the right kind of sports. Not basketball.
40) Sometimes I like to take a nap right before bedtime. I like to fall asleep on the couch and then get up and go to bed. I am so my father.

100 things about me. Part 2

I like learning more about you. I totally agree with you on the high school stuff. I didn't do much with my high school career either.
Your blog is one of my favorites. You could totally be an author!
I found everything very interesting! I rarely comment on blogs, because it means going into another browser and everything (because I view the blogs through some weird program), so that fact that I have commented periodically should encourage you to keep writing!
Patience is cute, with dark hair. I can't figure out how Melissa and Diane managed to switch babies!
There are so many things here that I relate with you on. You should right a book. I think it would be great!! Thanks for sharing.
Ok, so I didn't even know that they had switched the lime skittles to be green apple...How rude! Good thing I read your blog or else I would have been very shocked the next time I purchase a pack of Skittles. I'll read your book once you write it.
I agree entirely with your first 3 points. I really enjoy Jeffery Archer, and As the Crow Flies is really, really good. Everyone should read it. I like books that change view points every few chapters. Anyway, good book. And The Blue Castle. I really like that book, I read it a lot. Saying what you want and not caring what people think. That's harder to do than you would think. I try though. And I don't always say everything I think. Amityville Horror still scares me. I sometimes see the video at Blockbuster and I think I should rent it. And then I remember reading it all those years ago, and I think, why would I want to do that to myself again? So I still haven't seen the movie. But flies on windows still make me nervous.
Here's a sound for you Robin...ahhhhhhh (really, how do you spell the sound of swallowing loudly?) I thought you needed it.
And I still see nothing wrong with napping before going to bed.

I have to admit that I've never read Jeffrey Archer and As the Crow Flies. I do own a copy of the Blue Castle though (however I think it's gone missing). It may come as a surprise to you, but I also enjoy reading. I have never read the Amityville Horror, but I remember borrowing a book from the JS Wood library when I was a kid that gave me nightmares for years. I still feel that it shouldn't have been in the children's section. (Don't remember the title anymore).
Hmmm, this has been very educational for me as well! I did not think we were so alike, even for being cousins! I love 'The Blue Castle', and in fact all of L.M. Montgomery's books! I agree on the whole high school thing too, I didn't do much with mine either! As for writing a book, you should definitely work on it, and so will I since I have always wanted to write!
The one that always scared me was IT movie. I remember seeing part of IT on tv and I was scared of it for many years later. However I haven't been able to confront that fear for 2 reasons. When it is shown on TV it's always in multiple parts, and who has time for that anymore these days? 2. Whenever I'm at the rental store I have other movies that I always want to see in line. On another hand, I read The Stand in grade 6 and I wasn't scared of that at all. I was a bit surprised that that book was in the elementary school library because that book, had a lot of sex, and swearing in it. Weird.
