these are a few of my favorite things

so for a "congratulations, i reached 100 posts!" post, i was planning on doing a list of 100 of my favorite things. but do you have any idea how hard it is to think of 100 of your favorite things? i mean, the list of 101 things about me was fairly fun and simple because i could include things on there of any topic. this endeavor, however, has gone from being fun and simple, to be a massive pain in my butt. and i can't keep not posting regular posts because i want this one to be my list. i actually have things to say nowadays!



SO, despite the fact that this is a complete fail on my part, i'm posting what i have now. and i had an idea. for those of you who know me, if/when you comment, maybe you could help me out by listing some of what you think of as my favorite things. N. actually helped me come up with about 30 of the items of my list anyhow, and it would be interesting to see what you think i love, knowing me so well and all.



so without further delay, i present to you the failboat that is:
