100 (un)interesting things about me - brace yourself

On Monday Rachel decided to play hardball and tag me for a meme where I have to list 100 things about myself. To be honest, it wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be and I came up with my 100 things pretty quick. Considering the week I've had so far, this could be a good thing. Shows the brain is still sharp.

This might be more information than you ever wanted to know about me but fortunately it’s not too much in the TMI category.

So without further ado, let’s pull the curtain back on my sick and twisted mind and see what I dug out.

This is really interesting. I love finding out interesting random facts about people.

Wow.

It was actually quite fun to read. I'm generally fascinated by other people and what they're like, so I don't mind reading lists like these.

Good list! We have some stuff in common: My hair has been blonde and red, I speak German and French, I used to play the clarinet. =)

When I did my 100 things list, I could have kept on going! Hehe

Hi JB...I know you were having a really stressful week this week -- I can see it in some of your notes here. Hang in there (and you don't need to worry about working out all the time now...you look GREAT!).

Being fat and materialistic is not good. Check your employer's health plan and get some therapy.

Rachel said...

nope nope nope anonymous, you go find therapy, at least get enough help to be brave enough to leave your name.


ttthhhhppppp

You said you wanted your blog to grow and grow and grow- that can only happen with anonymous jerks! That's how you know you've made it ;).
I liked this list, and let me just say.. you've done SO MUCH!!

Don't forget you have a brother named Andrew Braun and a stepbrother named Andrew Brown and a sister-in-law named Jessica Braun. Damn does our family like to keep things simple! ;)

I love reading people's 100 things lists! Yours is great! :)

And, people who leave anonymous comments are lame!

So you may have WANTED to go to Madison, but you LOVED the U, right?!

Anonymous said...

you need to blog about your double-date catfight!

I found you through 20sb and really enjoyed your list! As a badger, it was fun to see a few references to UW :)

I was bald until age 2 as well!

So...I think we might be the same person. Just had to put that out there. It's actually kind of creepy how much on that list would be on my list too!

everyone should make list with such abandonment, and then READ ones own list from third party view, would possibly learn much of ones self.
