Very nice list. It’s an attractive list. It made me think of something though. On my blog I tell about myself, but also I share my thoughts that wouldn’t otherwise come out. So in a way, my blogger friends know a side of me that most people don’t really know. Other than my best closest friends.
I don’t know why your post today made me think about that but it did, and I shared.
What was my point again? Oh yeah, I like your list a lot.
Lisa, if I listed 50 things about myself, I might be institutionalized. I think your list is excellent.
Other than the baking part (how do you turn this stupid oven on?) we have a lot in common! And I am a firm believer that dogs should be loved like children – dogs are people too, you know! (Actually, dogs are better people than a lot of people I know.) Hey, if you’re psychic, how about a freebie for me? What can I look forward to?
Should also be titled “50 reasons why Clora is sad she doesn’t live in NYC, right next door to LisaB”
Great List…I had a 100 things list about me before I had to join the witness blogtection program. Maybe I’ll do it again but alter it to more vague selection.
Hmmm, what part of the Great Escape makes you cry? you big softie!
I’ve always wanted to meet the guy that invented sex, not just to thank him but also to find out what he’s working on next! LOL
Who woulda known you were a shmoopie gal! LOL OMG!!! You’re one of THEM!! eeeep!!
so…
is Mr. Trebek as much of a prick as he seems like on Jeopardy?
I like your list-but why “the great escape” as a tearjerker?Hmmm….This we must know more abou-is it the story?BTW-I suspected that you were a schmoopie all along-it’s OK, we understand.. I could totally grope the whole “more emotional than me” comment, (no pun intended!)-it’s cool for us to be in touch with our inner-children and try to understand, but as one of my favourite bloggers put it, “If he is too emotional or into his emotions,, he will fear spanking me in bed”-Another great reason to stay a Neanderthal(grunt grunt!). In this case, sex is a great invention-I like the fact that so many people are willing to renew the patient.
All kidding aside, you have a great list. Showbiz must have it’s drawbacks, but when you have your feet on the ground, sometimes the vehicle justifies the destination in it’s ability to educate along the way. And yeah, I too miss my father, and my dad.
And yes, dogs are children, period. And as the above mentioned blogger calls hers, I call my hounds and my horse “Fur kid”. And I am voting for drawing and quartering those who abuse dogs, and I have a few “horsey” friends who would love to get even for their starts in life….
about-Damn it, I don’t have an accent!
Wade – Thanks Hon! And I agree in some way the bloggers know more about me than others do. That is why I consider my blog buddies friends – present company included!
Marty – Thank you as well. And give the list a shot sometime, you might like it
Lizzie – LOL @ not knowing how to turn the oven on. And yes I also think we have oodles in common. And dogs indeed are people too!
Regarding your psychic freebie, how about this… I will write you privately
CC – I wish you DID live next door cause you are the best!
LOL @ the “blogprotection” program.
Se7en – Of course YOU would “jump” on the sex thing
And ROFLMAO @ “finding out what he is next working on.” Do you want to shake his hand as well? hehe.
Damn the bad luck, I have now fessed up to being one of the Shmoopie people!
Dawn – The answer is………
Moket (and Se7en ) – I did not say “The Great Escape” was a tearjerker, I simply said it makes me cry. And that’s all I’m saying!
Moket – You are too smart regarding my Shmoopieness! And LOL re: the spanking in bed thingy! Your comments are awesome!
Dog and horses are the best! Love them!
Awesome list LB! One year for my birthday I had Apple Pie as my cake. My mother objected greatly, but I still got my pie! Last year, I had Vanilla-frosted Brownies… they were good!! LOL
OoOOoOOo baby… you’re psychic? oh baby, what am I thinking right now???
What exactly do you DO for a living?
I love the list. I don’t think that I can come up with as interesting a list. I would like to point out that I whole heartedly agree with number 17, maybe we should form a coalition. Same with me on number 36 and 49.
Awesome, list and thank you for sharing, by the way, I thought you rocked from the moment you recognized me in the hotel lobby.
Lisa, let’s hear it for #27! Great list. What fun!
Hiya LisaB,
Just saw your comment–I do visit, every time you post, I just have been up to my eyeballs in garbage and haven’t had much that was nice to say. I’ll blog some of it out tomorrow tho and hopefully be commenting more.
LB- I consider you a friend too. I am coming up in March you better be there. I am having a group meeting.. LOL. More like blogging celebratuon party lets get fucked up!!..LOL
Happy Cha-new-kah!!
Oh LB I forgot one thing, number 24, me too. I’m not really sure what it is about me, I can attract breast men who have only seen pictures of me from the neck up. Weird huh?
Anyway, this list really rocks. Someday I may get creative and do something like this.
Restless Angel – Thanks! I have a friend who will only eat a “birthday pie” as she hates cake.
Denny – You are thinking about what you ALWAYS think about
And that’s all the info I am sharing about my work!
Leave – Thanks dear! You and I TOTALLY completely agree on #17 for sure. And fyi folks, Leave and I met at a out of town party and we knew each other instantly. And had mucho fun hanging out!
Last Girl – Mwah my friend! Thanks!
Serra – No worries Hon and I hope you feel better soon!
Tovahtica – Back atcha my friend. And aye aye Sir er Ma’am
Leave – Perhaps the name? Hehe.
On which toes do you wear your toe rings?
I was gonna’ be like “Oh wow, I totally agree with #9 and #10 and #1 and #43 and…” but then I would pretty much just be reiterating the majority of your list.
Instead, I will just add you to my blogroll. ; )
You’ve worked with Alex Trebek? That’s awesome!
Neil – I have 50 fun facts and THAT is what you are interested in?
But to answer your question, I wear all three toe rings on my right foot, second toe from the left.
Allison – You are so cool! And thanks
Armaedes – Yup I have, several times. Interesting guy!
You bake?? My co workers think I make awesome chocolate chip cookies, that really came out of a bag. And I really really really love #33 on your list.
I’m sorry, I wrote about fact 21, when I was really interested in fact 22. I happen to agree with you and think we should discuss this important issue further.
“I think people who abuse dogs should be thrown off a high bridge, (and land on a bed of jagged rocks.)”
I TOTALLY agree!!!
And, shhhh… I’m thinking of adopting another doggy – I’ve got the bug. (Better than a baby!)
I meant to comment on #26, but I made a wrong turn, as usual.
How can you live in NYC and despise pretentious windbags??? Isn’t that, like, a requirement when you interview with the apartment complex?
You sound awesome, Lisa! Someone anonymously mailed me an autographed photo of Robert Redford at Sundance. It is signed “Happiness, Robert Redford”. If you want it. I’ll get it over to you! I still have no idea who sent it early this year?Maybe it was for me to pass along!
Heather B. – I do indeed. I’ll teach you if you want lol.
And FYI, I KNOW you like #33, I have seen my site meter
Neil – I’m always open to a discussion
Laurie – Cool beans! What kind?
Golfwidow – A kindred spirit I see!
La Dauphine – I can deal with anyone but it doesn’t mean I have to like it
Michael – Thanks Hon. We may just have to talk about that pic!
I want a little dog… I’m thinking about a Shi-tzu. We’ll see…!
Adam West, huh? I was always more of a fan of Burt Ward… Robin was my childhood imaginary friend.
*hums Batman theme*
YAY for NUMBER 6. I haven;t practiced my psychic stuff in awhile. Can you predict What I’m having and when I will give birth?
That was fun to read! And I, too, love the beach in winter, especially the North FL Gulf coast! (the sand looks like snow…it’s absolutely beautiful!)
Go to my blog and see my new PUPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It amazes me ( though it really shouldn’t!) how many of these would be on my list if I did one. Fabulous post at this time of year. I really think in the holiday frenzy we should all take a little time for some introspective.
Laurie – You big tease!
The BLS – Wow I haven’t met that many Robin fans. Very cool! Dang it, now you got ME humming the Batman theme!
Mrs. Mogul – You are having a beautiful healthy baby in the next month or so
Nat – Thanks! I will have to check that out sometime!
Laurie – Igor is PRECIOUS!
Linny – Thanks my friend. And I agree about the introspective thing.
