I wrote the list below in 2009(!!!) and I thought it was time for an update! I inserted some comments in RED but for the most part, the 100 still ring true.
1. I love lists.
2. I like to do math equations in my head while I run, but I am terrible at math. I don’t really do this anymore. I now prefer to think and sing songs in my mind to pass the time.
3. I wanted to be a fashion designer or a writer when I grew up.
4. I am a kid at heart, so that fashion designer thing could still work out.
5. My dad died over 7 years ago and it was the worst thing that ever happened to me.
6. My pantry always has the following items: South Beach High Protein Cereal Bars, canned green beans, Crystal Light Energy water flavor packets (strawberry). Eek! It now has only the Crystal Light Energy packets remaining. It’s now always got quinoa and Kind Bars.
7. The Redhead and I became better friends after I moved away. (We met shortly before my move.)
8. Moving back home and meeting the BRA has been one of the best things that ever happened to me.

12. My favorite movie is Say Anything. (Lloyd’s namesake.)
13. I think dancing should be America’s past time.
14. Blogging sometimes feels so very narcissistic to me, but I love it anyway. (And I love me!)
15. I refuse to walk barefoot unless at home or on the beach. Especially on one of those nights where me and friends are out late in heels. My feet will bleed before I take my shoes off.
16. I think dog parks are the happiest places on earth.
17. My first marathon was a pain filled, under-trained hot mess.
18. I have two scars from moles I had removed in the 8th grade. They were little bitty things, but said to be pre-cancerous.
19. I got my first gray hair when I was 24. Ugh, I have more now!
20. My favorite running night of the week is speed work night. Still love the track!
21. My favorite adult beverages are margaritas, champagne, Bailey’s, and Hoegaarden. Please add red wine and Moscow Mules. Even though I barely drink anymore.
22. I once used a bathroom with no toilet and it wasn’t during a race or run.
23. I have been to Europe twice (hence the no toilets).
24. While swimming, I sing songs in my head that have little to do with athletics and more to do with booty shaking.
25. I once confused two of my clients on the phone and the one who wasn’t a doctor got asked my strange medical question.
26. I don’t think it’s acceptable for celebs to complain. Boo hoo, your life is so rough. Riiiiight.

28. I love Dolly Parton.

36. The most perfect day to me would be a good run, a little sun, and lots of time with family and friends.
37. I am hosting Thanksgiving for the 2nd time. Haven’t hosted since. Ha!
38. I refuse to cook another turkey so help me God.
39. The best Halloween costume I ever donned was the year I was “Dorothy in the tornado.”
40. My mom can tell more dirty jokes than anyone I have ever met.
41. I never in a million years thought I’d end up in sales. Which is why, I’m no longer in sales.
42. I am completely girly in some respects and a total tomboy in others.
43. I love make-up. I can spend hours in Sephora.
44. I love action, comedy, and horror flicks. Rom-coms, not so much. (Steel Magnolias and Say Anything being the exclusions.)

46. I once stole a car. Not on purpose. Long story.
47. When talking with The Redhead about this post being past the 100 mark she said, “Well you are Discombobulated Running, it would make sense you screw up your 100th post.” True.

51. I had to google grey vs gray to see which was the correct spelling.
52. I like to wear underwear underneath my running shorts, even the ones with them already built in. Oh my. I definitely do not do this anymore. This is hilarious!
53. Caribbean Steve dubbed me an honorary “sista.”
54. The most exotic things I’ve eaten are: sea urchin, gator, venison, quail eggs, escargot, and probably cat.
55. My best friend and I met the first day of college orientation.
56. We skipped the sign up for your classes portion. Oops.
57. Blogs that always make me laugh are: Caution: Redhead Running (of course), Feet Meet Street, A little messed up, Let’s Have a Cocktail, Punk Rock Tri Guy and Steve in a speedo?! Gross! Sadly, a few of these have gone bye bye. See my blog roll tab for new (and old) faves!
58. I truly believe there is less traffic on the high road.
59. Contrary to popular belief, I do not think raisins are nature’s candy.

61. My mom also made my lunch every day until I graduated high school.
62. I hate blow drying my hair and yet I do it almost every. single. day.
63. I really want to buy my own home, although I love my roommate. Meh. I’m ok with not owning.
64. My roommate and I have known each other since we were 14. He’s still a dear, dear friend. But the S.O. is now my roommate. 😉
65. I think all women should own pepper spray, a great pair of heels, and a kick a$$ pair of running/walking shoes.
66. I would consider breast implants. Do I really need to update this one?
67. I think #66 may be TMI. Totally is.

74. A hooker was the only person at the scene who was nice to me until my mom got there.
75. I peed my pants in pre-k waiting for my grandma to pick me up from school. My sister was mortified. I could not have cared less. I had to go.
76. If I could pick a super power it would be flying.
77. The best Christmas present I ever got was my Garmin, thanks E!

81. As a child I loved Barbies. I had Barbie everything. I am also the kid who cut their hair and clothing.

83. I think everyone should know how to drive a stick shift.
84. Top five fantasy dudes: Bradley Cooper, George Clooney Charlie Hunnam, Daniel Craig, Jensen Ackles (Supernatural), and Ryan Reynolds.
85. I want all of you to know that the Tony the Tiger in my heading photo is a little light I got in a race goodie bag. I’ve been asked about it more than once. He’s since been donated.
86. I was in a sorority but don’t consider myself a “sorority girl,” well other than the whole poster making thing.

89. When I don’t blow dry my hair it kind of looks like Samara’s from The Ring.

93. I lost 25 lbs after college.

96. I have a total girl crush on Gwen Stefani.
97. I am having a hard time keeping this list clean and entertaining.
98. My favorite joke is:
A pirate walks into a bar. He’s got the steering wheel from a ship strapped on his *ahem* unit.
The bartender looks at him and says, “Man, that must be uncomfortable.”
The pirate says, “Arrrgh! It’s drivin’ me nuts!”
99. I was told not to tell that joke to anyone whom I am trying to date. The S.O. may not have heard this one. Yet.
100. I love you guys.
I cheated and jumped to #100. Not sure about telling that joke period! LOL, have a great weekend.
Ryan Reynolds is hawt!
Were you drunk when you ate the cat?
I had been wondering about Tony the Tiger ever since I found your blog! That's some great swag! And by the way, FABULOUS list. This must have been exhausting!
Can I vote that you go after that fashion design thing? I think you'd be awesome at it! And let me tell you (from personal experience), these things usually turn out to be well worth the risk involved 😉
We love you too, girl!
I love your post!!!! Have a great weekend!!!!
I feel like we know each other much better now, like we are comfortable enough friends to fall asleep watching reruns of golden girls—and it would be totally cool.
great list.
Soooooooo many new reasons to love you more!!! I LOVED this list! And I LOVE you Boo…
For the record I don't know why you kept that Tony the Tiger light, I threw mine out when I got home from Gasp. LOL! And yet, it kinda makes me laugh everytime I see it when I come visit…
As for IM I'm glad you've decided that is to banana's because I know your @ss would've tried convincing me to do one with you…
I'm glad we've had this discussion, I feel as if it has brought us closer…
great list! Especially your favorite beverages, the line from Steel Magnolias (love that flick), I have to wear underwear under my running clothes too…
have a great weekend!
I love lists too, and I love reading them as well! Nice list, except for the one that said you do math equations in your head while you run? WTF?
PS-Lloyd really does love you.
So many favorites but I really love the one about the hooker.
Love the list!
Especially:
#3 – Me too!
#27 – We did a scene in High School! Love it!
#35 – TOTALLY!
#95 – Can I go too! Love Japan!
Great list, B.o.B.! I totally agree with you on #11. Grrrrrrrrrrr. Especially if the person saying it has obvious health issues such as smoking/weight. Ugggggh! I put Say Anything on my Netflix list. As for #16, love it! And #34, I totally have to agree because I am one of them! LOL Oh and on #94, I have wondered the same thing except about Barney, of course.
Thanks for sharing! You're so awesome!
You aint cool, unless you pee your pants!
I am all in with you on #16- dog people are good people.
Sorry about #5, you are a very strong woman. My heart goes out to you.
#61! Love it! My mommy did, too! I thought I was the only geek!
Great list B.o.B., have a wonderful weekend! And congrats on #100! I wanna be like you some day! 🙂
This is the best list ever! Thanks for giving me a Friday morning chuckle. 🙂
Awesome list! Stick Ironman on there.
You had me laughing the entire time!! You are so dang funny. And I dedicated an entire post to Say Anything… i love that movie too (but i had no idea Dobbler was Lloyd's namesake!!).
I may not be as motivated about running as you are, but i'm pretty sure we'd get on perfectly if we ever hung out in real life.
Cheers lady! Enjoy the hell outta your weekend!
Thanks for the Shout! Great list.
I could comment on about half of these, but that would take too long, and I'm supposed to be packing for some MCM thing…
Anyway, really funny list, and we must be sisters, because C. Steve made me a "sista" too. Does that mean I can come over for Thanksgiving? I'll help cook!
Esther
Fabulous list! Almost made me wish I wrote 300 things about myself for my 300th post…it's funny, the moments of laughter reading everything made me forget what items I was going to comment on! Haha…
So I'll just say, thanks for bringing some laughter into my day…and leave it at that =)
wow that was a really great list and one I actually wanted to read
Hmmmmmm, I think I need to channel some of your Florida love. Nope. Couldn't do it. I HATE the heat. Don't hate me. Oh and I'm totes stealing that killer joke. Gasparilla baby!
i started laughing right at the beginning. "I love lists."
Went to a dog park for the first time when we got Puppy. It stressed me out though.
You're such a girl…
There is no way I'd be able to come up with 100 things. Great list! I totally want to be a fashion designer too.
This was great! Hilarious!
wow what a list. i like to spell grey instead of gray. i am on the fence about kids but bf is trying to comfort me. : )
Aww too cute. and funny to boot.
Love the list and the joke made me laugh! Great list!
I love your list…and knew you had an inner fashion designer in you. You are too adorable.
ANd I fear my first marathon will be the same thing.
This was a great post! I can better stalk you now …
Oh and #81, I totally cut Barbie's hair, and then I cried and cried when she looked like a character from the simpsons and not like my 3rd grade teacher who had cute short hair …
lol this is fun I love it
I don't like to wear underwear underneath my running shorts. Thought you would want to know that.
This list was awesome!!
That is an awesome list. You are young and life is long with much time to do those things!
enjoyed your list and I, too, love Hooegarden. I found it while in Montezuma, Costa Rica, and it felt like I had found gold.
I recommend Chimay, too:)
I think running is excellent for you and I look forward to meeting the Red head next month in Denver.
Great list! Have an excellent night.
OMG I love this and we are more similar than I thought! freaking fantastic!
Now I know why I like you! "Coffee is the real breakfast of champions."
And the pirate joke is *tremendous*!
Love this list!
Love it! And who cares it wasn't at 100 – keeps us guessing and coming back for more!
This list makes me so happy. I love lists and I love how fun you are 🙂
Great list. I just watched a movie in which a dad tells his teenaged daughter that when your second toe is longer than the first, it means you're a good runner.
what a fun list! i can so relate to some of these random tidbits. i tried retelling your joke… it kind of just got a 'har har'. i'm no good at telling them. 🙁 boo.
We share similar tastes in alcoholic beverages and fantasy dudes:)
#72 Life of Pi is an awesome book…
Love this list! It made me just laugh and smile at my computer. Like loud laugh and big smile haha
#15 – I almost cringed when I saw a guy running this wknd w/o shoes…especially at the thought of his feet touching the sticky water stops. GROSS!
#51 – I ALWAYS mess it up! hehe
#59 – ditto that.
I started keeping track of how many of these I related too…but by like number 15 there were already too many to list!!!
PS- in cosmetology school, I had to learn to do pedicures and I threw up. Right in class.
Just fount your blog; you crack me up! Glad to be a follower.
#84 Jensen Ackles
