Great List! I've been waiting to read it ever since you promised you'd post yours this week. I am so with you on #s 67 and 68. Oh, and of course #97. I love reading these lists. They add so much dimension to blog authors.

She's not kidding about #74, everyone. It can be inconvenient, too, if you happen to be her friend and don't go to bed until much later yourself!

Def. agree on #97, of course.

My favorite is #91 because it's such a worthy goal AND something I know you'd do well AND something I think you will accomplish. :)

Oh, yeah. And #22 works better with the italics.

Hey! Thanks for checking out my blog, it's always a nice surprise to see someone new comment.
I enjoyed your list, it would take me all day to try to come up with 100 things in one post...I admire those who can.
For the record, I LOVED being 27! It was my most favourite age, so I stayed 27 for 7 years. Turning 34 was a bummer...

Hi there Clare,

Your list has inspired me to do one too! Though I am not sure I will post it on my blog because I think it might be too much. I feel a bit freakish about it. That said, may I ask where this idea came from since it seems to be in response to other people's lists? It is really a very interesting and intimate portrait. I think you are a lovely and complex person, defying stereotypes of all kinds!

P.S. I hope you aren't still feeling self-conscious about posting. How about if I stay a stranger so that you can experience that comforting sense of anonymity? He he.

Thank you so much for sharing.

Aurora
