ok, i know these lists are generally considered dopey but i love them! i love to read them and i love to make them. love love love. see i didn't know you were with the amish yesterday (a funny coinkydink i'll tell you about), and i didn't know that you work on your computer in the den andi didnt know lots of things that came up. sure, these lists include silly stuff like where is your phone (um, where is your hair??) but apart from giving information about "stuff" it really gives a little insight into how the writer sees themselves. it's subtle, but its there. (in some memes more than others for sure).
anyhoo - i say keep 'em comin'!

Suz... Thanks for writing and thanks for being, like, my only reader.. A comment on your comment:

[but apart from giving information about "stuff" it really gives a little insight into how the writer sees themselves.]

I'll admit I really like them too, but I guess what I DON'T like is that it's doesn't REALLY reflect how the writer sees herself, it more reflects how the writer wants the reader to think the writer sees herself. I.e. they are a little bit posey, although as with everything else you try to keep it honest. Also, some people are really good at making them funny, so it doesn't really matter. -susie
