I am SO IMPRESSED that you did this! I did it once with like seven things, and I couldn't even think of that many. You are just a way more interesting person, and I loved reading all of them!!

I don't know if there are even 100 things I want to know about myself. I will have to rough draft first before I can commit. You are far too interesting for such a young chicka.

You did it! Doesn't it take such a long time to come up with so many random things about yourself? I loved it because it's all about you - when I usually blog about my kiddos. Do you keep in touch with Chelsea?

So hilarious...I sleep in every movie, I wrote for the Eagle Eye too, did the paper clip retainer thing too! Too fun. It does take a long time to get things out, but it's also fun to read!

Wow, Dev. You crack me up. I feel like we grew up together I know so much about you now! That is awesome!

...mine might take awhile. If I don't sleep until 3am tonight I'm holding you responsible! :)
