100 Things

I just found out that my friend Kate accused me of stealing her good ideas. I won't prove her wrong. In fact, I will just steal another one! So ha! Take that!

Here's my list of 100 Things that I love. I will also agree with Kate and say that it was surprisingly hard to come up with this. It was hard to not get stuck on a category and just start exhaustively listing things that fit within that category, ie. movies. Instead, I tried to vary and discriminate the things I love to the things I love the most. I'm sure that I'm missing a bunch of things, and I'll probably look at it tomorrow and see things that I loved at the moment I wrote them, but have some lesser feelings of then.
