And I am sli...100 followers? You've done that!<br /><br />And I am slightly green, you have 4 times as many daily visitors as I do. Which I read in a thoughtful comment you left somewhere on a blog we both read.

And Screw Anna Karenina...Love, love love your list. And Screw Anna Karenina AND War and Peace. Wanna read a brilliant Russian book? Read Master and Margarita. Wanna read a classic? Try Don Quixote or something. I've read many classics and hated most of them. Otherwise I'm with you on some of them - from gorgeous for a day, to criminally expensive restaurant, to.. winning the lottery?

You can cross that off the list now. Second, screw Anna Karenina. It's boring. War & Peace is probably boring too. If you are going to read a Russian novel, try Brothers Karamazov. It's guaranteed to increase your Jeopardy score. Plus, it sounds extra cool when you say "Sure, I read the Brothers Karamazov. Hasn't everyone?"Chad Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01179848656904542902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-73701336735501913072011-09-29T10:56:37.937-04:002011-09-29T10:56:37.937-04:00So many great things on this list.

I second learning to sew (I actually failed sewing class in junior high) so there's probably no hope for me there.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-83632542207936453912011-09-28T08:35:05.116-04:002011-09-28T08:35:05.116-04:00I feel the same way about phones.

I suck at standard pie crusts (the husband is in charge of those), but I find that sweet pastry is a little more forgiving of my pie incompetence, and comes out great anyway.Jessie McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18044541928981530026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-21117742907847511732011-09-27T22:35:52.684-04:002011-09-27T22:35:52.684-04:00LOL!!! I love your writing. You are really funny...LOL!!! I love your writing. You are really funny. Okay....not so crazy about the car and motorcycle thing. However fixing up an old house, touring English and Britain in general!!!.....and baking a pie. The pie crust is the trickiest! I've done it a couple times, but it was years ago. My latest attempt burned the crust!!! As for your fear of phones...well I still don't own a cell phone and hate talking on the phone. When my office phone rings or if it's at home, I usually jump, then groan, and many times let the answering machine pick up the call. Unless it's family...and they know I'm on the other end and won't hang up until I pick up the damn phone! Great list!!Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-65503909061261370802011-09-27T20:18:11.776-04:002011-09-27T20:18:11.776-04:001.

You are welcome to check it out anytime :) Plus there's drywall stuff Chuck can play with if so inclined.<br /><br />3.David Sedaris is a fucking genius. <br /><br />4. The kids in Mexico last Feb. sang I'm On a Boat the whole trip. I laughed so much I didn't even call them out on it.<br /><br />5. Don't worry about not being able to hem pants. I use double-sided tape on most pairs, and the good pairs I get tailored. And I own a sewing machine!Moniquenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-37653393482474430932011-09-27T17:23:47.818-04:002011-09-27T17:23:47.818-04:00Nice. =) Awesome list.
I am SO THERE re: the phon...Nice. =) Awesome list.<br /><br />I am SO THERE re: the phones. It's been, oh, since I was, what, 14?!?<br /><br />hate<br />the<br />phone<br /><br />hate<br />it<br /><br />I was JUST thinking about it yesterday. All I'm doing is talking to a person. Frequently, it's to talk to a person I know and like.<br /><br />But because of the medium, I'll do everything in my power to avoid it.<br /><br />Only time I wanna answer it is if it's my husband.<br /><br />And the gun thing? Was taught on one day (got to try several out), but just learned I will inherit a shotgun, so I can REALLY be a Sierra Nevada hayseed, shot gun and all. AND I just bought a bow & arrow (oops, I mean ARCHERY) set, so I wanna learn that, too. =)<br /><br />And take more mixed martial arts fitness, 'cause kicking those big bags?!? SO cathartic! =) And it's fun (and for me rare) to feel tough.<br /><br />Good luck w/ your list. =)biobabblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09947655068395286971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-21223629961347270482011-09-27T14:55:26.663-04:002011-09-27T14:55:26.663-04:00Holy christ, with you on the telephone. Hate thos...Holy christ, with you on the telephone. Hate those things.<br /><br />And the muscle car is a definite must have. For me, '62 Thunderbird, although not truely a muscle car, it would be when I'm done with it.Turlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466952089423973036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674336400331431860.post-49404016128533646502011-09-27T14:33:43.070-04:002011-09-27T14:33:43.070-04:00Hi Kyna,
A girl after my own heart... Jack White,...Hi Kyna,<br /><br />A girl after my own heart... Jack White, so incredibly pissed that the one time I was able to go see them in concert, they go and cancel and never fecking tour again because meg 'has stage fright' uh huh, yeah. ok.<br /><br />Bastards!<br /><br />I actually wanna cry that I never got to see them.<br /><br />Also, I feel for you re: breast scaffolding. I bought a minimiser bra the other day because the dress I bought for a wedding at the weekend is actually rather low and I feel a bit slutty (but it's from a totally non-slutty shop so it came as a shock). I also decided to get a camisole that would help hold things in place and give a nice sleek line down my body. <br />However, now I just look like a fat bird with no tits.<br /><br />Hmph.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640322232670777125noreply@blogger.com
