my friends and their hundreds

Many of my friends have posted their 100 things, either on my blog or on their own. I find these utterly fascinating and am speaking to some of my personal highlights:

Melissa:
18. i'm jealous of siblings
--I think of this statement often when considering whether to have another child or not.
27. i love fireworks more than anything in the world
--this, I did not know. I have always wanted to look down on them from a plane. We should do this sometime.
54. i still sing puppet songs in my head
--it's a disease, and we all have it.
65. i like to get into a good stare
--This is brilliant
81. i have a story for every thing and every situation
--and it makes you a great friend.


Don:
9) I have played on the same stages as The Ramones, Motorhead, GWAR and many other famous musicians.
--and Kevn Kinney! One of the best nights ever.
14) I’ve been w/ the same woman (the love of my life) for over 10 years.
--and I miss you both terribly...
23) Saw Matt cheat at LIFE once.
--unfortunately, that is true. I don't think I even won.
25) I can name a heavy metal band for every letter in the alphabet.
--you ever written this down? I would love to see it.
87) I love long conversations with friends about music, religion and politics.
--nothing like discussing life, love, and the meaning of the universe at the Huddle House right after a killer Poison show.

Wallace:
10. I’m still impressed/touched that so many of my old high school friends came down for my wedding.
--that was a really great weekend.
47. I would go back and re-do high school. Mainly because I would do a lot of things differently…
--I'd be intrigued to see the "other" high-school Wallace. I think you did pretty well the first time around.
49. My hair has never been as long as it is right now… I can’t decide if I want to cut it or just let it go really long.
--let it grow. I miss the long-hair Wallace I knew in middle school.
65. I desire to really read… but I rarely have/make the time to.
--You, me, and Melissa should try one of those virtual book clubs. Maybe peer pressure would help us make time.
67. I’ve kept fish ever since I worked in the pet department of Wal-mart when I was in high school.
--I miss being able to go to the Mart and hang out with you.

Jaime:
5. I will always have a special place in my heart for Edwin McCain, even though his career makes me sad.
--We will always have our goofy picture by the car
12. I love looking back on my life and wondering whether God was using some of it to make other parts make more sense.
--I like this exercise
29. It freaks me out when I agree with Rick and Bubba.
--Me, too, but I listen to them every morning...
35. I used to make up dreams when I was falling asleep.
--I had forgotten this; I love this about you.
59. I never really wonder whether I'll be a good mom.
--There is no wondering; you will be a wonderful mother.

Alison
75. People don't forget me...
--absolutely true
...I choose to believe it is because of the hair, but I'm probably fooling myself.
--and it's not the hair
84. In high school I was on the flag corp.
--I really miss those days. "Dippity do" anyone?
90. I am going to be a rocker in heaven and I'm going to be good.
--I'll be in the front row, but I want to be on the comp list; I don't know if I'll have much $$ up there.
93. I played Volleyball in Middle School. I was not good at it.
--weren't you the statistician? :o)
99. My favorite show is Amazing Race. I wish Garet and I could be on there!
--ok, you/Garet, Wallace/Dee, and Minal/I need to sign up. We could have a secret alliance...up until the final three, of course.

shanti,
