We seem to have a few things in common! Was this a quiz you found somewhere? I also like Steven King, I love cooking, and I read voraciously. I never go anywhere without a book. I have been introduced to Britcoms by my husband, who enjoys them tremendously, and they are very dry humor, which cracks me up!
Love cookbooks, but mostly baking cookies. Love the Everyday Food magazine-have you see that one?
I use to watch Monty Python when I was in high school on a little b&w tv. I like the BCC America channel now but usually only watch the auction-type shows.
I am also 5'2".
I have a thing about germs and after church use the anti-bacterial lotion I store in the car.
There's a few more things we have in common-and I am 20 yrs older than you too! You didn't say if you are right or left handed. I am a lefty.
19. I love Stephen King as well.
29. Donnie Darko rocks!
30. Do I want to know why and how you ended up falling asleep there?
33. Now this is clearly wrong!! How can you not like coffee???
35. IMPRESSIVE!
48. I used to have the very same phobia but I was fed up with my glasses so I endured it. It's actually not as hard as it seems. You just need a lot of will power.
51. I love to cook for other people as well. Actually I only cook for other people... I am always too bored to cook for myself...
69. Will sing for food???
83. I totally agree with you. Bar soap is not even soap to my eyes. It makes you skin all oily and squeeky! not squeeky clean, just squeeky.
84. You got me thinking, what if I had an older brother. If I was my older brother I would had been so lucky. I only say that because my brother's always had so easy due to my "been there done that here's the right way to do it bro" way of helping him on his every day life.
93. Cats kick ass!
94. I like learnign about history events but can never remember when they happen or who were involved. I almost failed history in high-school.
97. That's so weird and so cool at the same time.
Verdict: I like you and I think you're cool!
Nice blog, keep it up.
