Tsk. Show-off.
Hey #24 — I even get dizzy with virtual heights, like playing videogames with my kids. It’s unsettling to be standing or seated in the family room, and yet have that falling-stomach feeling you get too close to the edge of a scenic overlook.

“Tsk. Show-off.” Seconded.
Although I must agree…shoes are overrated. Also, No. 16 made me snort laughter at work. Thanks.

25) Wonder Boys is in my top five movies ever. My husband and I always crack up over WordFest because we were both lit majors.
23) “I don’t believe in the no-win scenario.” Name that movie. Too easy, I know. This one is also in my top 10.
12) Immediately hand over the typewriter used to type this one.
26) Have to say, this may be the best 25 things I’ve seen so far.

“Tsk. Show-off.”
Well, isn’t narcissism the whole point of this meme?
I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have loved Wonder Boys as much if I hadn’t been a lit major myself.
#12, BTW, is the caps-only Monarch Pioneer. It does a lot of the list-typing in the house. And no, you can’t have it.
re: 23: Ha!
