Wow...how many things do we have in common...let me count the numbers:
#3- there is no tongue-clicking sound in my name either ;)
#9- I'm the oldest of 4 kids
#18- I like food in general
#20- I'm also a good cook
#27- I was in a movie when I was 8!
#76- Ok, I've never tried Nutella with cheese, but was told by someone once that if you like Nutella then making a sandwich with it and some kind of cheese (cottage maybe? I don't remember) would be like eating food of the gods.
#84- I also prefer Angelina
#85- I love Kevin Smith movies
#89- I, too, would kiss Johnny Depp
#95- I, too, had a pet mouse. I named him Tommy. A week later Tommy had 8 babies. He was promptly renamed Thomasina and he and the kids were given back to the pet store when the tiny kids kept getting through the bars of the cage. Side note- baby mice are FAST!
Hmm... Kadi I think we were separated at birth. :) P.s. how's the quitting smoking going?

I love your 100 things! I had a bunch of comments on it and now I forgot :(. It's too early and I'm too uncaffeinated. Gargh. Sorry bout that. Oh yah! Someday you and I should take a trip to Russia and then create a play based on it or, better yet, while we're there! I bet we could apply for a grant for that.

That is a great list! So many ordinary things yet put together and they become can't-stop-readable.
