11. He's definitely my "type"
12. Which is ironic considering I have never dated a guy, kissed a guy, etc. before

23. I basically think lots of those religious rules are uh, stupid

39. I want to have 2 kids, preferrably 2 girls or a boy and a girl
40. As long as I have a girl to dress up I'll be happy
41. My parents are still together and they will always be together and I love that I can depend on that for the rest of my life. I am 100% positive they will never ever divorce
42. I think that because of that I am alot less screwed up than alot of girls w/ divorced parents

45. Well, a good boyfriend
46. I have been asked out 10ish times since 5th grade, but I think I'm too picky
47. In fifth grade this guy said he was in love with me
48. He said I was the prettiest girl in the world, he wrote 'I Love Natalie' all over his binders & papers, and he was really sweet about it. He offered to buy me all kinds presents if I would go out with him.

56. I love Conan O'Brien
57. I also love Boy Meets World. Well, loved

61. And big flashy rings
62. And chains & punk mixed with girlie
63. I think Britney Spears has the best body in the world
64. I own way more skirts than jeans
65. I am obsessed with hats but I only own one NY Yankees baseball cap
66. I think it takes alot of confidence to wear a hat. Maybe that's why I like them so much
67. The only thing I don't like about Gilmore Girls is how often they make fun of music. Sometimes it's funny, but they trashed Dave Matthews. What the hell?!
68. How hot is Jess though?
69. So hot I'm thinking about jamming this pen in my eye
70. Sorry, that was from Friends. I quote stuff like TV or songs, allll the time

76. I love makeup
77. I wear Clinique Happy Heart perfume
78. I've been having very vivid dreams lately. And I have makeout dreams all the time ;)
79. I'm extremely neat and organized. I like things to be clean and orderly
80. But it's not like OCD, I just like things to be organized
81. My GPA is 4.06
82. But I swear I'm not that smart, really. I just work really hard in school
83. I actually like school most of the time. I mean, I don't love homework and tests or anything, but I like the atmosphere & everything
84. I tend to make friends with my teachers, mostly if they're younger. I recommend this, pretty much all teachers play favorites & it's definitely a good idea to be one, in my experience atleast
85. My best guy friend was my teacher, he's 10 years older than me
86. He's insanely hot too, but I probably shouldn't talk about that
87. I'm actually really confident in everything about myself except my body
88. My dream college would be UCLA (Univ. California Los Angeles), but it's crazy hard to get into, so I'm hoping for any UC school really
89. I write down quotes all the time, from TV or songs or my friends etc. A bunch of them are on the bulletin boards in my room
90. My pet peeve is people who are always late & inconveniencing people, but they just laugh it off
91. I was brought up to be respectful of others, so I hate it when people don't follow through
92. My bathing suits consist of a white halter bikini, a plaid A&F bikini, a floral Guess bikini & a turquoise Roxy bikini
93. I like making lists, I do it all the time
94. My favorite subjects in school are math and english.
95. I used to always do better in english & that type of class, but I hated how they tried to categorize people into "math & science" or "english/foreign language & history" types, so since Freshman year I have gotten 98-100% in both my math and english classes
96. As you can see, I don't like people telling me what I should be like!
97. I love concerts, but I haven't been to very many. Two Dave Matthews & one John Mayer/Counting Crows. They were all amazing
98. I love Target. It's kinda sad how much fun I have there...
99. There is one person in my life who I think has made me who I am more than anyone else (besides my family). I credit him with basically everything I succeed in, and I will love him forever. I think he has no idea how much he has changed my life
100. Every time I'm in an airport I have this fantasy of coming off the plane, and my guy is waiting for me with a bouquet of flowers and he runs over to me, picks me up and spins me around, kissing me... sigh
101. I also have this fantasy where I'm out with a guy and it starts raining and instead of trying to get out of it, he holds me and we make out. lol. But hot guys all wet in the rain... there is nothing sexier
102. I love Queer Eye for the Straight Guy
103. I love countdown shows, like VH1's Top 20, or E's Rank, etc.
104. Guys in baseball caps. Totally does it for me
105. I absolutely love Christmas
106. I have three earrings in each ear, all on the lower part
107. I only ever wear my diamond studs
108. I also have a white gold & diamond ring, a silver Tiffanys heart tag bracelet and a silver Return to Tiffanys choker
109. My dad always just buys me jewelry for presents, that's why I have nice stuff! :)
110. My favorite drinks are cherry lemonade & hot chocolate w/ whipped cream
111. Je parle français. Je ne suis pas parfait, mais je l'aime beaucoup
112. I think Josh Hartnett is kinda ugly and not at all a very good actor. I am clueless as to what the fuss is all about
113. I know lots about music - like classic, good rock & stuff. Oh and yes I can "distinguish Miles from Coltrane" :)
114. But I can't stand people who think they're better 'cause they are musically literate that way. Or like if they've been a fan of a band since before they became mainstream... get over yourself
115. I think vintage clothing is cool but I don't own any
116. I'm obsessed with the 1950s. I love the clothes and how it seemed so idyllic
117. I hate getting up late in the morning. This is why I'm going to bed now :)
118. Possibly my favorite song ever is "At Last" by Etta James, but I like practically any version, like Eva Cassidy or even Christina Aguilera
119. But what about Dave Matthews? John Mayer? Sting? the Beatles? Ben Folds?
120. And so it goes, I can never pick a favorite song
121. Hilary Duff: she bugs the crap out of me [see no. 128]
122. Remember that episode of Seinfeld where Elaine thinks she's going to Hell & Putty says "You stole my Jesus fish, didn't you!" and she goes "Yeah, that's right" and makes the little devil horns w/ her fingers and goes "gahhhhh" @ him? Love that scene.
123. I really love the song "Gone"... & I know it's by Nsync. But seriously as far as music in general goes... damn that's a beautiful song
124. I want to have Pachabel's Canon in D playing as I walk down the aisle in my wedding
125. I am ridiculously horrible at playing musical instruments of any kind. I literally faked my way through 5th grade band
126. It's painfully ironic because my mom plays piano and sings, my dad plays guitar, my sister played piano & violin, and my little brother (who is in a band for God's sake) plays guitar, bass, trumpet, piano, drums & anything else you put near him
127. I practically can't even hold on to a guitar. I couldn't even play those white plastic recorders in 3rd grade. Oh it is so bad
128. I changed my mind about Hilary Duff. After watching her Diary on MTV & reading an interview in YM... she's actually really cute and sweet :)
129. You know who I do hate though? Jessica Simpson. Oh my dear Lord, that girl makes me want to shoot myself sometimes :P
130. Sometimes I love being by myself. At home alone especially. I love being able to play my music really loud and sing along and dance around the house
131. I talk to myself all the time. It's usually just little things, but I do have extended conversations with me in bed or while driving. That might seem crazy but crazy is what I would be if I didn't do that, I think
132. I'm really good at grammar and spelling & they come completely naturally to me. Therefore, when I read the school newspaper I freak out and have correct all the (millions) of mistakes, 'cause it drives me crazy
133. So cool, aren't I?
134. Another cool thing about me: I love White-Out. Not for any drug-related reasons, just for whiting things out, you know. Mine has a triangular sponge-tipped applicator. It rocks :)
135. I loved Sloppy Firsts by Megan McAfferty, and now I'm reading the sequel Second Helpings, which is also really good
136. I love Justin Timberlake. Shamelessly, really. Few people know 'cause come on he was in Nsync... but "Cry Me a River" -? Stellar. The aforementioned "Gone" -? Lovely. "Justified" just doesn't suck, I don't know!
137. I hate having wet nail polish. I smudge it every damn time. It's one of those little things that drives me crazy
138. I don't like boys with really long hair or facial hair
139. Except for 5 o'clock shadows which I think are soooo sexy
140. I wish I didn't get jealous so easily, and I wish I didn't take things personally so often
141. I absolutely adore it when boys wear suits with sneakers. Like Justin Timberlake @ the VMAs w/ his black & white Converses... so hot
142. If I go to the Prom (please God) I seriously want my date to wear them, I think that would be cool
143. My favorite comedians are Ellen Degeneres, Jerry Seinfeld, & Conan O'Brien (is he technically a comedian?)
144. I have such a crush on Will in Will & Grace, gay and everything. I once had a makeout dream with him... oh yeah
145. I love Mandy Moore, I think she's the cutest. And Andy Roddick her bf is way hot
146. I used to only want a fairy tale prince charming romance thing, but now I'd so much rather have a best friend boyfriend
147. The Bachelor has taught me so much! I realized I hated how the Bachelor guys always strained to be ridiculously charming 24/7, & they were so much cuter when they were just being normal boys
148. The 8th song on a CD is almost always a favorite. "Daughters," "Stay or Leave," "Crush," "Lover Lay Down," "Desperately," "Love Song for No One" ... all #8s! :)
149. I love the "I Love the 80s" shows. I watch them all like 10 times each
150. And Michael Ian Black is soooo funny on them, <3 him
