Continuing (completing?) the 100

To continue...

46. I've got a bachelor's degree in Psychology, and a minor in Criminal Justice.

49. I'm semi-addicted to online sweepstakes.

55. I have bad posture.


56. I didn't go to prom, and missed my 10-year reunion because I was out of the country.

66. I'm mostly liberal, but I'm still in favor of the death penalty in some cases.


67. I love ripe mangoes.


68. With little exception, the only cooking I am able to do requires following a recipe precisely or preparing frozen/boxed/pre-made dishes.


69. I really, really love music: oldies, metal, rap, disco, reggae, punk, rock, some country, some electronica, lots of sub-genres of all of those. But I can't play a note or sing anything.


70. I don't like raw tomatoes on salads, burgers, sandwiches, etc. , but love salsa, ketchup, tomato sauce, and don't mind most things with tomatoes as an ingredient.


71. I don't like olives.


72. I don't like mushrooms but tolerate them.


73. I'm allergic to guinea pigs, I think.

80. I'm pretty sure I've visited more capitals of other countries than capitals of other states.

82. My preferred cocktail is a vodka tonic.


83. I'm not on myspace and perfectly happy about it.
