ruAfter the premiere last Saturday, I realized that one of my favorite scenes from the movie was where the main character made a list of his 100 favorite things(complete with brief clips, for most of them anyway. Somehow I think adding a clip for 'sex' might've kicked the rating up a few notches). You wouldn't think such a thing would be interesting. After all, it's 100 things, and going through them all took a little bit of doing. Even so, I was fascinated. I like finding out about people's quirks and habits and things like that. I think it's partially why people are so interesting. When I find out that Jane the postal worker character from that book loves shelled peanuts? Fascinating.
So, in light of that scene, I decided to make my own list. It's probably not the most interesting thing in the world, and I admit I copped out on a few of the entries and made them rather broad. I did try to make them as specific as possible though. But hey, I felt it needed doing, and decided to post it up here in case people were curious. It would be neat if other people did this, but I know now from experience that coming up with your 100 favorite things is no small feat. Oh well. There's no specific order to them, since I just wrote them down as I thought of them. But anyway, yeah, in case you're interested, take a peek behind the cut. <3

Date: 2005-04-06 12:04 am (UTC)And the town we were in was Clayton, that was next to the St. Lawrence on the NY side. My gramma has a summer house up there, so we usually go visit her there every two years or so. Normally we'd go visit her this year, but due to me taking summer school and my cousin getting married, I don't see that happening this year.
And <3 <3 <3 for reading the list. ^_^
