i really like andrea's lists. she makes lists all the time, like "100 things in the world i love", etc. and the lists are always very inspiring and fun to read and so i thought i would make my own list, in honor of her, who has inspired me to do so and because today is my birthday and andrea always makes lists like this on her birthday and i've always wanted to do the same but have been afraid of doing so for whatever reason, probably commitment issues, but anyway, i'm doing it, finally. so here is my list. thank you, andrea, for the inspiration you have given me to do such a thing. it's been really fun. i encourage everyone to do the same. and thank you everyone for all your sweet wishes for my birthday. it means the world to me. i feel so blessed to have you all in my life!
