100 Things Bout Me

Some time ago a project was started where people wrote a 100 things about themselves on their blogs. Well i missed the project but i quite liked the idea. Imagine first people take the pain to think about a 100 things to write about themselves and then they expect others to read that too. People came up with really nice things about themselves. Couple of em i remember vividly are "I have a mole on my bottom right cheek"..NOW, this guy must be deep in geometry to be explaining his right hip like the first quadrant of a graph..and of course that is some really useful piece of information about him. ANother one read "This is one point just to fill the list"...sure reminded me how i used to fill reams of sheets during my school exams.Well, i wanted to see how many things i could come up with and so i started making my own 100 list. After prolonged torture inflicted on my tiny brain, it came up with this...
