Its so easy to get carried away, a hundred can easily become two, three and on. One needs to know when to stop. This is the new and improved list, i fucking forgot to save my work last night. Lol. Bonne nuit greedy little me.

You had to end it with something I had to think about, right?
What's LBD?
Moisturiser on the soles of your feet?? er...why??
And then you walk barefoot and waste all that moisturiser? hahaha
I love Meiji too ! ;)
Yah, what's LBD anyway?
Ehhh, LOL. You mean you dont like moisturiser on the soles of your feet? Have you tried doing that? I have a sneaking suspicion its what you called a perverse fetish, but shhhhh. :D
LBDs = Little Black Dresses

Long ge: yo yo yo, what a pleasant surprise! You've revamped your blog huh? having fun down under? Jamie Oliver's relative cant cook?!? what a shame! Fix me up anyway ehh?! LOL. Read your email, lets meet up soon yeah?
Hihi... thought that I would doze off or get tired while reading your long list... but guess what ?!
It makes me wanna write again after disappearin' in the blog for 2 months. :p
I like your list.
It evokes many memories that I once shared or had that I have been trying hard to erase them, esp point 94. *sob*
Ohh well... u noe Jamie, you should seriously consider writing as your career...
I am pretty sure you will be an instant hit !!

My very first groupie! Lol. Writing as a career would be a dream come true, quite honestly, i dont think i'm good enough. But thanks, you made my day. :D
Catch up soon, blue lagoons for you, margaritas for me! :D
I'm soooooo with you on number nine. And, oddly, number 80 too. And probably a bunch of others, but those are the ones that I remember.
A famous best selling author and successful marketing guru once met a yound lady who admired this author for the way he projected his ideas, however this famous author told her that from what she had written, she is a better writer than himself. He went on to encourage her to develop her writing skill and she did (even though she thought she did not have the gift of writing). After a period of about a year, her very first book became a bestseller. She still thinks she is not a good writer, but the bottom line is that she produced a bestseller.
I know you have a great flair for writing and I really respect you for that. Also I know definitely that you have the gift of writing but all you need to do is to develop it and within a short time, your writing will be on the way for a Nobel award. I can assure you if you start today, you will get there earlier than you think.
hummingbirds?
Thats the one thing i left out, hummingbirds. Happy Birthday you, glad to see that you're still here. :)
