100

Tonight is going to be a long night.  I can tell.  This is due to the fact that I didn't actually drag myself out of bed until about 4 o'clock this afternoon.  For once it wasn't due to a bipolar episode, so "Yay!" to that.  It was because I had a massive migraine and felt extremely icky.  I am now dosed up on enough ibuprofen to make a small elephant woozy, but feeling a lot better (again, "Yay!") and feeling the urge to blog.  But I didn't know what about.


Lo and behold, the Diva answered my prayers.  She has posted a "get-to-know-me-better" type questionnaire on her blog (which you should really check out because she is completely awesome).  I love reading these kind of lists on other peoples blogs as it gives an insight to what they're like in real life.  Not to mention the fact that I'm a nosy cow.  So I thought I'd post one for all you fellow nosy bastards inquisitive people out there.  And so the Diva has given me her very kind permission to plagiarize re-post her questionnaire with my own answers, and I've added a few more questions to round it up to 100 facts.  Yes, it's true; I have no life.

So, here you go.  Everything you didn't know you wanted to know about me but couldn't be bothered were afraid to ask...

(And if you manage to read all 100 of them, I will send you a cookie.  A virtual cookie, but a cookie none the less.  "Yay!")

There you have it.  100 pieces of completely useless information about yours truly.  If you managed to get this far, you either have the patience of a saint or you're looking for a cure to insomnia.  Either way, let me know and I'll send you a "cookie".  And if you're feeling brave, feel free to take the "100 Question Challenge" yourself (and don't forget to leave a link to it in the comments box if you do).

Well, it's now 6a.m. and I'm nowhere near sleep.  Maybe it's time to consider sticking my head in the dryer to knock me out.  "Yay!"
