Excellent !!! This is something like list of things observed by Sherlock Holmes. Although i pray to god to make some of the things above false....

Well tried myself to list similarly...couldn't tell more than 16. Maybe i need to understand myself better

I once had to make a gratitude list of 20 items I was grateful for. It is interesting what you can come up with when you are forced to. I love learning about different people. I am such a watcher of people. I can sit on a bench and watch God run the world without me for hours.
Thank you for sharing.

I thought I'd respond. I have been thinking about doing a bit more personal info on my own blog but still not too sure.

1. My Mother is the only person who calls me Dominic and even then only when I'm in real trouble!
18. I was banned for 28 days for the same reason
19. Same but in reverse order (substitute Italian for Spanish)
23. I was 9
24. Snap -literally.
25. Mostly funerals
26. I love getting other people to do my ironing
31. Me too
32. Me too!
34. I had the injection because my Mother nearly died from Measles
35. Only one for me -in Germany, I was lucky!
38. Yes I'm told I am too but I don't know why!

That's a little info for you anyway.

Hi Tine! How did you create the about me section in your portlet? Moreover, how did you make this entry under the about me? Did you post this as an entry at one point?

Hope to hear from you soon!

I’m not good at explaining things like that but here we go

First you have to create a group.

- Go to 'portlets'
- Section bookmarks, go to 'edit'
- Go to manage groups
- Create your group in New Title (mine is 'about me')
-------------------------------------------------------
- New entries
- Create a new blog ( in this case your '100 things about me' things)
- Save it and copy the url of this entry
-----------------------------------------------------
-Go back to portlets
-Bookmarks
-Choose in 'group' about me
-Give title and add the url section.
Save
----------------------------------------------
- go to look'n'feel
- Choose your gutter
- Insert
- Bookmark groups
- About me.
------------------------------------------
That should do it, good luck Quing :-)

I seem to have a lot of things in common with you. That feels odd.
