1. I have an older sister (22) and a younger brother (17)
2. I'm about one-quarter Italian, but the way we celebrate holidays I feel as though I come straight from the old country itself.
3. I'm the first female in my family to play ice hockey, but every guy in my family plays or played at one point.
4. I'm teaching myself Egyptology with the help of an example outline of a course from the University of Chicago.
5. I never even tasted alcohol until I turned 19 this year
6. I've never smoked or tried any drugs

10. Unfortunately, my bass clarinet was only a rental and I haven't played it since the end of 9th grade
11. I'm currently studying for both a BSc (biology) and a BA (history)
12. If you can't tell, I'm more than a little undecided in what I want to do after university
13. I'd dearly love to be an archaeologist, but fell asleep during almost every Anthro/Soc class I had last year
14. So I'll make up for that by specializing in ancient histories for my BA
15. In a private, nerdly dream I've had since childhood, I want a PhD in something just so somebody will call me 'Dr.' and I'll feel important. LOL
16. I'm extremely shy when it comes to meeting new people, and have had the same group of friends since junior high
17. My best friend since 2nd grade deemed me too "preppy" to even speak to in the 11th grade and I now feel as though I've encountered a Crystal Skull of my own whenever I see her
18. She's now married and wants a baby to get on welfare
19. I got my ears pierced in the 2nd grade but let them grow over before the 5th because I was allergic to just about every material earrings were made of
20. I nearly lost the tip of my left index finger when I was 7 - I tried to help my younger brother pedal the family exercise bike with my hand, and got it kicked into the sprocket of the bike
21. Mom and dad let me get 20 chicken nuggets from McDonald's to myself when I was released from the hospital, so that made it okay. :P
22. I was the first female pitcher in the Northside Little League system
23. I've never had a boyfriend, and am in no hurry to get one

26. I'm not afraid of death
27. I am afraid of losing other members of my family

32. I'm still vowing to get into space someday
33. I'm convinced there's intelligent life on other planets
34. I believe anyone who thinks Earth is the only supporter of intelligent life are the most narrow-minded people in the world
35. My greatest fear is not living up to my expectations of myself and never seeing or doing all the things I want to
36. I've never in my life flown in a plane
37. I did ride in a helicopter a few years back, and the love of flight stuck with me since then
38. Despite being shy, I'm incredibly easy to get along with (or so I've been told); I'm interested in hearing or learning about anything I don't already know about
39. I've never broken a bone
40. My right ankle is weaker than my left because I sprained it badly numerous times playing baseball when I was younger
41. I didn't need glasses til the 11th grade

45. I'm convinced I should have been born in the 50's
46. If I could choose any time in history to live, it would be medieval times
47. Given the chance, I'd travel through time - to the future to see what's in store and to the past to learn about everything scholars argue about now
48. I didn't get my beginner's license til this year; I still don't have my full driver's license
49. The only reason I want my license is so I can get a Chevy Avalanche
50. Those are the best damn trucks in history
51. I am quite possibly the only Minnesota Wild fan in Nova Scotia
52. No one can understand why I like them
53. Neither do I, but they, along with the Toronto Maple Leafs, are my boys
54. The only pets I've ever had were 6 cats - a stray that had 5 kittens in our yard 5 years ago
55. They were outdoor cats, but all stuck around and never left the yard
56. When the kittens were old enough, we gave away three and kept two - the mother now lives down the road with another family
57. Both cats are dead now - Spock was killed 3 years ago by a car, Trooper died this year when he was bitten by a rat and his organs shut down
58. For the life of me, I can't understand organic chemistry
59. I think the coolest accent in the world is Irish
60. I've been told I, as a Cape Bretoner, have an accent of my own, but have never really heard it

67. They were well worth it
68. My absolute favorite author is RA Salvatore
69. I couldn't live without music or movies - I always have to have a song playing, no matter what I'm doing, and I have to see every movie that comes out just for the sake of seeing it
70. I'm obsessed with the group Carbon Leaf
71. I've never been to a wedding
72. I've only ever been to one funeral
73. It was for my best friend, who died of leukemia when we were 10 years old
74. She was quite possibly the biggest inspiration I've ever known, and didn't realize it until I was old enough to think back and understand what she had to deal with
75. I plan to travel the world after university
76. I want to experience as much as I can, and learn as many languages as I can
77. I don't look much like either my mom or dad
78. My sister and I are told we look like twins
79. If I look at pictures of myself in elementary school, I look exactly like my brother with longer hair
80. I don't know if that should scare me or him

91. I'd be a great Jeopardy! contestant
92. Even though I'm shy, I love public speaking and I'm a bit of a ham
93. I'm pretty good at imitating accents
94. I'm pretty sarcastic and dry, with a "tongue that could slice you in half" (according to my mother), but only use it for the forces of good. :P
95. I think one of the greatest jobs is standup comedy, and my hero is Dane Cook - we seem to have the same power of observation
96. I'd rather stay at home, reading, watching movies or listening to music than to go out and get completely sloshed
97. I've never been sloshed
98. The people who are my best friends now are the people with whom I share almost nothing in common except for a sense of humor and views on life
99. We often get along better than I get along with my siblings
100. My sister is one of my best friends even though we fight like wild dogs.
