91. I wear jeans and a t-shirt just about always.
90. I'm kind of contradictory.

86. No, don't like ZZ Top much either.
85. I like to digress. Ooo, Frank Zappa! And Peelander Z!

67. I like to write, but I never do it.
66. Mainly because I am really lazy.

53. The one place I want to see the most is Italy.
52. After that comes Syria.
51. Did you know there is a pillar in Syria that dates to the 100's AD? A pillar-saint used to sit on it to be closer to God, and he would give wise bits of advice.

48. Religious history, specifically.
47. I am toying/have toyed with the idea of joining the FBI.
46. I have probably done too much shit in my recent past for them to accept me.
45. I was going to list them, but it's incriminating, and my mom will probably read this.
44. I am going everywhere in the US, so when I travel overseas and someone says "I have a brother in Denver!" I can say, hey, I've been there.
43. I took a 2 week trip to New Zealand with my whole family of 5.
42. It was hell.

39. I Zorbed.
38. I spa'd.
37. On one fabulous trip to Baja, I went to a natural hot springs on the beach, that was just rocks and water.
36. I also went to Disneyland, and it was just as much fun.
35. I like than I can appreciate anything.
34. I think that's my best quality.

29. I love Hitchcock.
28. I love Bruce Campbell.
27. I love Fritz Lang.
26. I am a music geek, a movie geek, a theater geek, and just a geek geek.
25. In the geek world, however, I am hideously unknowledgeable. I spread myself too thin.
24. My longest relationship lasted 4 months.
23. Unless you count the long distance one that lasted 3 years, but I only saw him for a total of 5 weeks.
22. I like men.
21. Just thought that needed to be said, since I'm hosted on my lesbian sister's website.
20. I'm pretty darned queer friendly, tho.
19. I used to be an actor.
18. Until I realized that actors are assholes.
17. I receded from the theater scene.
16. Then I realized that techies are the best people ever.
15. I thought 100 was a lot, but I could go on forever.
14. I like to sing.
13. I can't play the guitar for shit.
12. I used to harbor dreams of playing dobro while Rachael played the fiddle and Christy played the guitar in an all Herron girl band.
11. That would still be cool.
10. I really like sword fighting.
9. And DDR.
8. They are both good workouts, too.

3. Halloween is my favorite holiday, in fact, my favorite day.
2. My friends and I throw the best Halloween parties ever.
1. I really like my life.

wait, there's more shit I want to throw in! I just digressed to much to get to it! I ride motorcycles, I love driving, I fiend for the perfect road, I love to sing in the car, I sleep in the back of my truck, I love the glitz and glamor of Catholic and Orthodox churches, I like to roast Peeps, I really want to work on a shrimping boat, I love sailing, I love the ocean, I... Jesus, there's just too much. I think #1 should be that I really like lists.

Well, keep writing. I think maybe 1000 things about me would be okay!

[alison]

Wait, I've never seen a rule that says one must limit oneself to a hundred things. List on!

[Stonering]

I think you should just keep going too. I like the idea of a 100 things list with some random number of things listed.

[Kathleen]

I would enjoy reading more Bethany. Your list had nice flow. I desperately want to go to New Zealand. And Greece. And back to Cornwall, England. Your trip throughout the US sounds remarkable.

[Valerie]

So, you are back in SF? With a new job and apartment hunting? How is that going? I love your list of 100 things. The 19th - the post I just read, was Mandy's birthday. She is 26, so you must be also! Her life is radically different than yours!

love, Val
