100

To commemorate my 100th blog entry, I’m throwing originality out the window and going ahead with the ultimate cliché. I found these 100 questions on a friend’s blog (which she, apparently, copied from another fellow blogger).

Picky as I am, it’s only logical that I filter and edit what I didn’t write, hence leaving behind only 44 questions. Some of these really made me think, some so much so that I felt it was unnecessary to put my answers in words. And then there are those I don’t have answers for.
