I’m glad I’m not the only one that doesn’t know their cell number. People keep looking at me funny when I tell them.
And I like phone sex, too hehe
Maybe I should do my own list. Kinda looks like fun. 🙂
Try as I might, I’ve never ever been able to gleek… Oh, the horror.
Jodi, you are a brave woman (no. 101?). I don’t know why you share what you do on your site, but it amazes me. It’s honest and heartfelt and thank you. I’m glad you share too much. It’s so much more interesting than the people who gloss over things as too personal (which is entirely their choice, and a valid one that makes you that much more courageous). Keep it up, tall chick.
001. jodi is cool.
002. i like jodi.
003. number 050 makes me sad
004. most of them made me smile
Wonderful list, Jodi. I seldom indulge memes, either, but I was threatened into cooperation. You had the courage to do it on your own. I admire that.
Oh, and I used the leading zeros, too.
Sorry to hear “no man has ever told you he loved you.” Take heart, that day will come. One can see in your writing that you are a beautiful and interesting person, and I am sure many people see this in you.
I’m glad you did the list, Jodi. 🙂
jodi…i think that you seem like a very unique individual, you seem to have the qualities that make a very important friend to people! your friends and family are very lucky to have someone like you to touch their lives, i hope that they realize this and show you how much they care for you!! have fun jodi, smile and live and love..be all that you have to offer!!!! a fan of yours, lola!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jodi,
That was very cool. Well I guess you already know that due to #23. Your wit always seems to brighten my day. Thanks for sharing.
What a cool idea for your birthday!! This is one of the coolest little birthday pages I’ve ever seen. Thanks for sharing that with me.
I got your url from the Birthday site. Have a great day!
Jodi… Thanks for sharing! First time I’ve read your weblog. I’ll be back I’m sure.
Regarding #78…. See #24. I think that was mentioned! So you owe us one more.
I love you babe! Now strike #25, and you owe us 2 more! 🙂
We could work on #69, but that would just change the date. BTW, was that a coincidence? Probably not.
Seriously… thank you for sharing.
do svidaniya moi drug!
I never know what to write on these things ,i don’t even know how i got here.I was pretty shocked by #050 and i hope you find happiness.
By the way i’m from the highlands of scotland,i just thought i’d share that wee bit of info incase i was the only one from scotland that’s visited this site.
cheerio
Hi Jodie–really enjoyed the list but I found #38 sad. You think you’re easily forgotten? I won’t forget you after enjoying your list so much. See #70!
dear jodi you seem to have devote a lot of thought to knowing why you are the way you are. G’luck in yer struggles.

My best bowling score was a 266. I was practicing at about 2 a.m at the Boulevard Bowl in Petaluma, California, circa 1978, started with nine strikes and in the 10th I got a 4-6, only hit one. Claude, the graveyard desk man, witnessed it.
Boulevard Bowl was a great place to hang out. I hope you will treasure your Bowling Alley memories!
I like orange 2.
Favorite Book: Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto or Cunt by Inga Muschio
Favorite Unfinished Project: A book about the Replacements working titled “Answering Machine: the History of the Replacements”
Favorite Finished Project: Either “Best of the Surfaces” – a 2 disk best of the Replacements or http://lili.net – a site dedicated to Lili Taylor or my daughter – who once when I told her to chill, said to me “But daddy, kids are playful humans.” or maybe my Replacements tour page – http://www2.bitstream.net/~bradyh/mats/matstour.html
Martin Smith has it just about right. Never met you, never talked to you, yet somehow I have a secret crush on you. Found you somehow at one of your other web-sites. But never got a chance with you and moved on. But typing “spiderman checks” in a search engine and found my way back to you. And it adds to my not knowing the difference of Fate and Destiny?
well…my name’s Tom…I guess i should start writing…
Missed ya hon…
we am the borg. resistance is futile, Unless you like have a nuke or something….
Well, I think you sound cool.
I’d be your friend.
Write to me and I’ll tell you my westerberg secret.
o.a.gl
after reading this site I know more about you than I do myself. I think it would be good for me to site down and wrote out 100 thing about myself to get a better Idea of who I am I have moved around so much I forget
isn’t it interesting that sometimes what you could tell one thousand and fifty two strangers so much, and you couldn’t tell those that are supposed to be closest? thats how i am, anyway.
i tried making a list of my own, once
my favorite bra is purple, like my hair. i have strange ‘feelings’, rather than dreams. thats a massive burden.
ive read your feelings on your site. it makes me wonder if someone loved you so much and never let you know about it.
Hey chromey, Very cool its amasing how open people are without knowing it. insprational. ps: come down to Texas were everything is the bigger the better.
do i know you? mostly only people i know i call me chromey.

P.S. Due to automatic centering, could not get numbers to align.
I don’t know if this is the right place to do this, but so what. Hi Jodi, we haven’t talked in ages and I stumbled on a lost bookmark for your site and came to poke around, I checked but you are not on aim right now, we should catch up!

hi, your post is very important for me, thanks
Hey, even though you don’t know me, please don’t dream about me, thanks. 😉
After reading #012, I’m kinda spooked. Especially since I just finished writing a post on this very subject about an hour ago.
Nice to meet you…and I share your dislike mentioned in #067.
I found this page whilst trying to buy the game “hungry, hungry hippos” on the internet and felt inclined to read the whole list.
By the end my right thigh was itching too.
Cheerio from the UK.
