100 Things About Me- Part II

51. My bedroom has blue walls that I painted myself.

52. I don’t have one favorite color but for some reason I can’t stand purple.

53. I love receiving new book recommendations. Here is a list of recommendations from May 2006. If you want to make a suggestion, please do and I’ll add it my list.

54. There are aspects of my personality that are stereotypically girly.

55. There are aspects of my personality that are stereotypically tomboyish.

56. Often when I meet someone for the first time I am told I have an accent, usually a British accent. (No, I am not British.)

57. I would love to travel more.

58. This year I will be spending time in New York City.

59. This spring I may be going to Hawaii with my parents on a cruise.

60. These upcoming trips are a reminder that I need a digital SLR camera. Right now I’m looking at the Nikon D40.

61. I am bit of a clean freak. I like order and can’t bear to live around clutter.

62. I am fond of Martha Stewart.

63. I enjoy projects.

64. I would like to increase my Photoshop skills.

67. I also love to go to Target, Ikea and any bookstore.

68. I don’t wear makeup, unless there is an occasion that requires it.

69. I don’t wear a watch.

70. I love to wear earrings, however.

71. My favorite time of year is Christmas.

72. My birthday is at the very end of April.

73. I love cats and dogs equally.

74. I learned to play chess from my father who taught me at a young age.

75. I am looking into becoming a Chinese learner, which means I would help individuals learn, or improve upon their English skills.

76. I have a Facebook account but not a MySpace account.

77. I believe the most exciting thing about Facebook is using it to look into the lives of old friends and classmates who I would otherwise know nothing about.

78. I started keeping a blog in some form or other in 2001.

79. This existing blog started in January 2006.

80. I enjoy looking at the data provided by Site Meter. The world map, which monitors visitors by location, is my favorite. I get very excited when I discover I had a visitor from Belgium or Japan or some other far away country.

81. I use Blogger but am going to switch to WordPress sometime this year.

82. I don’t smoke, or drink.

83. I love idioms.

84. The idiom I use the most is: “Well, I wouldn’t exactly write home about it.”

85. I love the show, Lost, and am anxiously awaiting Season 4.

86. A few other shows I enjoy include: The Office (the US version), Arrested Development, Big Love, The House of Eliot (a BBC show from 1991), The West Wing… and I’m going to stop there before you assume all I do is watch TV. Actually, I rarely watch shows when they air on TV but I am one of those types who will watch a series later on DVD.

87. Even though I live in a state with cold winters, I am a wimp when it comes to being cold.

88. My favorite food is Italian.

93. I plan on voting for Hillary in 2008.

94. I voted for John Kerry in the last presidential election.

96. My friend, Steve B., would tell you I am a liberal.

97. I have six siblings (three sisters, three brothers) and a Mom and a Dad.

98. I am considering starting a zine. I would start out with one issue (which would operate as a sort of trial issue) and sell it at a reasonably low cost. This project is still up in the air.

99. My favorite flower is the peony.

100. My favorite saint is Joan of Arc.
