100 Interesting Things About Me

This is a new feature on my blogstream profile , and it's too much fun not to share! They ask you to start a list of 100 things that are interesting about you, but not TOO personal that you wouldn't want to share it on the internet.

Here is how my list starts (18% complete):

I was born in the Philippines.
I am an oldest child.
I am of mixed race.
Favorite treat: Dairy Queen Cappucino Heath Bar Blizzard
Favorite toy: Tassimo coffee machine
Favorite accessory: Versace sunglasses
I was once crowned Miss North Central New York
I was once married to a gay man.
I have four cats and an aquarium of freshwater fish.
I make a mean potato salad.
Favorite cocktail: the Lemon Drop.
Never met a piece of chocolate I didn't like.
Once dated a Navy Seal.
Once had a restrainging order against same Navy Seal.
Once tried to be a waitress. I made a pretty poor waitress!
Everyone in college called me, "Jenna." To this day I still don't know why.
Only my mother calls me "Jenny," and I hate it.
I'm an athiest.

How would your list go?

P.S. Thank you for starting a group on this topic, and for all of the contributions! There are some VERY interesting people around here...

I have done a number of these lists on various blogs, over the years-- they are always interesting to do, and 100 things isn't always as easy as it seems.

Great posting Jennifer. I couldn't find 100 interesting things about myself. Maybe 20-25. You've got a great list there!

Good start to your list. 100 things to write about oneself..now that's going to be a real challenge.

I like this idea, Jennifer. You have a good start! Are you challenging us to join you, and if so, do you want our lists here or as individual articles. Maybe you could start the 100 list group?

What a fun idea!!! I'd love to hear about the gay man. I once got asked to marry one, so he could piggy back (no pun intended) my US citizenship.

I'll let you guys decide how you want to join. I couldn't possibly moderate another group, but if someone else did, I'd join. Feel free to start your lists here, and provide a link to your full list. I think some of you may suprise yourselves with just how interesting you are...

Hannah, you can read the pertinent info about my gay ex-husband in my article, "So I Married a Gay Man," which can be found: http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474976726994

I'd love to hear your story, too!

I'll start the group if you don't have time, Jennifer, and we can share it. It'll be your idea and I'll monitor, although I'm not very good at enforcing rules.
