7. I'm very shy.

8. I tend to be very anti-social.

9. I'm not good at meeting new people. Takes a very long time for me to relax and be me.

10. Shall we recap? I'm a romantic anti-social procrastinating bossy control freak wallflower who hates talking to people, particularly on the telephone.

11. Wow. That explains a lot.

12. I'm lazy.

13. I have, more than once, spent the day on my couch in my PJs reading when I should be writing a paper, cleaning, doing laundry, or just generally being useful.

16. When I was a kid my friends and I used to play Dukes of Hazzard, Battlestar Galactica, Charlie's Angels, and Little House on the Prairie. Not all at the same time, of course.

17. I hate women who act helpless and put on baby voices in an effort to catch a guy.

18. Hmm. Maybe the fact that I'm not willing to act like the women in number 17 explains why I'm single.

19. That and number 10.

20. I think perhaps my Knight in Shining Armour has fallen under a bus.

22. I'm addicted to The Amazing Race.

23. I'm also addicted to Alias.

24. I was addicted to Buffy, but then there was season 5.

25. I once participated in a picket line. We picketed the outhouse up at the Lake on account of unfair child labor.

26. Hell, we cooked AND had to do the dishes? You'd have picketed too.

27. Unlike other children I didn't have a blankie; I had a pillow. I used to call it my niffle pillow. No. I don't know why.

28. I have a trilogy of unwritten Star Wars novels floating around in my head. They will never be written because a) I'm lazy; b) they fly in the face of everything else that has been written.

29. My books are better though. I'm just sayin'.

30. I'm only on 30? Crap.

31. When I was a kid one of my cousins gave me the nickname Slippery Sam. To this day he still calls me Slip.

32. Don't go there Claris. It's perfectly innocent and pure.

33. Okay fine. He used to like to do the big brother thing and grab me, throw me around, and tickle me. I was very good at slipping way, hence Slippery Sam. Happy now?

34. Other nicknames include Miss Sarah and swareing (pronounced swearing).

35. Most original pick-up attempt was by some guy in Austria who tried to convince me he was a political refugee of some North African country. He claimed he got into trouble for writing politically subversive poetry.

36. Dude hadn't showered in at least two weeks. His bid for Canadian immigration through marriage failed miserably.

37. I was a goody two shoes in school. Except there was that time in grade 7 I hurled KK against the wall. She was really bugging me.

38. Heh. I can still see the look of surprise on her face.

45. I hate being pitied.

46. I'm somewhat insecure.

50. Fifty more to go.

51. I'm finding the voyage of self-discovery that is this list somewhat enlightening. Damn you Claris.

52. I love stationery stores. We're talking kid in a candy store kinda love here folks.

53. I do some of my best work under tight deadlines.

54. I've been known to waste extraordinary amounts of time at work on the internet. Oh right, this was supposed to be a list of things people don't know about me. Tough. I'm running out of ideas.

55. I want a car with automatic doors and windows, intermittent wipers, and heated leather seats.

56. Amusement park rides that spin around really fast make me feel sick.

57. I love roller coasters.

58. When I was a kid my friends and I used to dance around the dining room singing to ABBA songs using hairbrushes as microphones. Before ABBA it was Debbie Boone. You, light up my life. You give me hope, to carry onnnnnnnn....

59. Some of my favorite childhood memories are camping and hiking with my family.

60. My favorite childhood Christmas present was new figure skates. How very Canadian of me.

64. This is getting really hard.

65. Did I mention I hate telephones?

66. What about talking to my cat?

67. I've been known to consume large quantities of Girl Guide cookies in a single sitting. Good thing they only sell them a couple of times a year.

68. I'm a children's literature fanatic.

69. I'm more of a morning person than a night person.

70. My first crush was in grade 4. His name was Toby. Thinking back, I'm not really sure what I saw in him.

71. I prefer original Pooh Bear to the Disney version.

72. My French sucks. I am a bad Canadian.

73. Wait! That's two things!

74. I am very good at planting both feet in my mouth, and I don't mean that in any yoga sense.

75. I have never gotten a speeding ticket.

76. I have probably just cursed myself.

77. I cannot paint or draw to save my life.

78. I'm annoyed at Claris for assigning this task while I'm on holiday. It would have been a good way to waste time at work.

79. I should be doing laundry and going grocery shopping and yet here I sit.

80. Yes, I'm really reaching. But hey, I'm on 80 and there have been very few space fillers. Give me a break.

81. My most frequent stress dream is dreaming that my teeth are falling out. Believe me, it's freaky.

82. Reportedly I once said in my sleep, "Pickles? What's wrong with pickles?"

84. My first summer job was as a nanny.

85. I love airports.

86. I'm indecisive, but once I make a decision I want things to happen NOW.

87. I'm not as good with change as I like to think I am.

88. In spite of 85 and 86, I'm still willing to take risks and move outside my comfort zone--or at least more so than many people I know. Curious, that.

89. My favorite perfume is a tie between Chanel 5 and 19.

90. I have very expensive taste.

91. I want my own personal library.

92. When forced to go through a few boxes of my old junk at my parents' place I found rather a lot of Princess Di and Star Wars stuff. I have diverse interests, obviously.

93. In said boxes of junk I found a Rubix-type cube created to commemorate Charles and Di's wedding. I was unable to put them back the right way. Hope I didn't jinx them.

94. I also discovered a Peter Rabbit plate commemorating the birth of Prince William. The fact that I am old enough to own this makes the fact that I think he's pretty hot really disturbing.

95. Speaking of things Peter Rabbit, if I had an obscene amount of money I might be tempted to buy a complete set of Peter Rabbit china. Talk about your dinner party conversation starters.

96. There would have to be a lot of money on the line to get me to bungy jump or sky dive.

97. Are we there yet?

98. Have I mentioned that I'm impatient?

99. I'm also independent.

100. Not to mention finished!
