100 Things......or "I Ripped Of The Smarsh"
Stare away pilgrims.
It's daunting, I know. Secretly I have wanted to do one of these list for-evah. I was inspired to bare my soul after delving into the Smarsh files. At first I panicked. Maybe I don't have 100 things? Guffawf !! Turns out I have 7,036 things. Obnoxious, I am not. So I scaled it down to the customary 100. Will you learn something new about someone old? Enjoy me. Go on, I insist.

1. I find most of these lists dull.
2. Yours definitely isn't.
3. Re #100, I'm only one more reader, but at least I'm here leaving a comment :o)
Andrew
To Love, Honor and Dismay
very cool list. I enjoy reading it :)
There's a lot of verve & energy in the way you write. I'm touched that you say you're needy - I think you're great ;-)
I have a short span of attention. I'll have to come back and read it in 10 portions. ;-)
Awesome list! I feel like I know you much better now. A couple things:
1) I laughed out loud at least 6 times while reading it
2) I stole the list idea from A Dad Someday's blog
3) Now I really wish I had named my blog "The Smarshy Files", and I think I still may
4) Peter Criss lived in my hometown in CT! I used to stalk his house until one day he came out and signed my hand
5) What the F is a "ute"?
6) I wonder if Andrew from the first comment above found my list "dull"
7) I read your blog every single day, I love it and I get PISSED at you when you don't update it.
you rock Mony!!!! there's a book in there somewhere. :)
I love these lists, makes me feel like I've known you so much longer:
1.calligraphy and beer ??? interesting combination
2.10 fucking times? that's a lot of $ on bridesmaid dresses
3.I've seen a dead body (worked for a summer with the police)- trust me you are better off
4.I would never ever ever forgive that Aunt
5.married a 1 night stand 6 years later - there's definetely a story waiting to be told there
6.I read your blog every single day (or at least check to see if you've updated)
When I am in Australia let's go out and have beers together :~)
My handreader couldn't tell me how many children, she said: one, maybe two. Amazing huh?
Mony - here, a comment. Thanks for your nice ones over at my place. A spectacular list, too, by the way.
haha, thanks, I am gonna laugh every time I hear someone say 'wobble' now. My only problem with this list? It needed to go to 200! ;)
Rob Lowe, the rumble assumption, the Pearl Jam romance, and blondes not having more fun all made me smile.
Boy George and Wobble made me laugh out loud -- so much so it startled the puppy.
I'm proud of you for saving the blond boy.
I'm shocked that you don't like The Beatles or Elvis (the Doors suck).
Your inconsiderate auntie made me sad.
I've never had my fortune told. I'm too scared about what I may be told. I claim that I don't believe in clairvoyance, but deep down... I hope you have your two.
Loved reading your list. Very funny and interesting. I like learning to know people a little more with short sentences.
A fortune teller in India told me that i'd die when I'm older than 87, and that I'd have two daughters. Hahahahah.
A fortune teller once told me that my relationship with the man standing outside of her booth, waiting for me, wouldn't last much longer. I had taken off my engagement ring before going in, just to see what she would make of that. We've been together for over 8 years since then, more than 7 of them married. I think she might have been off. But I hope yours wasn't.
I decided to come out of lurkdom because I identified with your #100 (as well as many others)--I'm also very needy for comments!
How funny!
Hey, please promise to let your bloggy friends know - before you flash. Ummm the Ashes is coming up?
Hey Mony!
Sorry, did I wake you?
I'm just wondering if you had any plans to get out of bed and UPDATE YOUR F'ING BLOG. It's like old milk left out on the counter passed it's expiration date. It's starting to stink.
Or, were you planning on leaving this as your final post, simply because it has been deemed by one of your fans as funnier than mine?
You win: You got more comments than me, yours was funnier than mine, and Andrew did not find yours dull. So time to put down the vegemite and refresh your blog before the new year.
I feel like I know you so much better. Don't take this as a bad thing, because I think it is so cool, but you are a bogan chick! I love it.
....No! Do not fear! It's an ongoing joke between us. Don't worry toots! Smarsh thinks peer pressure with get me to blog more regularly, but we both know I scoff at peer pressure.
Tra-la-la!
Oh, I'll get you to blog more, as soon as I can pry you away from that case of Victoria Bitter.
TheOneLiner, yes, it is a joke, I wasn't sure if you could tell...I was 100% joking. Your comment made me sad, I was afraid I had hurt your feelings.
See Mony? See what happens when you don't update your blog? How many more innocent people have to be hurt before you update this thing?
Nice 100. I love reading these- it is a break from reading about IF topics-- and yeah, 100 seems like alot til you start writing- and then as you found-- lots of stuff to say!
I loved your list, very entertaining. I wrote one of my own and think of 5 more things everyday that I could add to it.
I will be back to read more, needy or not you're one funny chick.
It's a good thing you don't work with me - we insure Municipalities. You could work with my husband though - he owns an auto shop/used car lot. I never get tired of hearing more about you sexy gal!
