100 things.

It occurred to me today, while I was visiting some of my favorite blogs, that I have never, in almost 5 years of blogging, I have never created a list of 100 random facts.

I know, I know. Blasphemy. The list of 100 things is something that is kind of expected I think. I like to read everyone's lists, because I think the way they're put together says a lot about the person that wrote it.

So, without further ado:
