Here's how it goes:
a. Copy this whole list into your journal.
b. Bold the things that you have in common with me.

23. I'm a lousy housekeeper, too.
24. I rarely crush out on popular celebrities.
25. I think that if something is truly settled, it shouldn't be rehashed without new material to add to the old discussion. (Unless it's an argument I lost, in which case I tend to think I'm entitled to argue about it until I win. Just a cute little thing I do.)

On #87
Y'know, until just now, I didn't realize how that one could be read two ways (a bias favoring men, or a bias when it comes to men). Either way it's still true in my world, but thanks for the perspective shift.
#87? 85, duh.
