I love about me lists. I began blogging in May '05, so a relative newbie. One of the first things I noticed were so many "100 things about me" lists, so I had to do one too. I thought it would be a chore, but it was actually fun to reflect...and I could have gone on writing.
I can usually gleen some interesting parallel or common interest from someone's list. Yours made me laugh while I was reading...
I gravitate towards mountains/deserts and large urban areas----Hello, I live in a desert.
I'm a vegetarian, but I cheat.----I was a vegetarian, until I found it too difficult when going to culinary school. Still have tendencies though.
I am a coffee whore----My mention of the 1st Starbucks (and 100's of others) ;)
I started graduate school at 40----Went back to college at 36
I once window shopped with Sarah Jessica Parker in NYC----You'll have to read my list to find out what happened with me and Sarah Jessica in NYC.
Purple is my favorite color----It's on the list too.
I started my own business when I was 24---I was 18.
10:57 AM
oh... forgot these too...
I am a movie whore---The business I started (at 18 when in college the first time) was a video store. It grew into a chain and was part of my life for 15 years.
Cooking is a hobby, wait, a passion.----Went back to school to become a chef (something I always wanted to do)

PT - Apparently I have a brunette twin in Las Vegas ;) Admittedly I didnt make it to the end of your list, I am forced to revisit!

Wow... geez, I don't even know where to comment on this list! Is there anything you haven't done stud?? Hehhehe...
So you love to cook huh? Hmmm maybe you can come here and cook for me sometime ;). Although we will have to add meat to the recipe, I'm not much of a vegetarian, but yes.. liver does totally gross me out too!
Anyway, you're most welcome to come visit anytime in Hawai'i.. I could take you to those beaches that I went to on my beach post. And thanks for the comments about yoga... I'm able to do more downward dog-plank-upward dogs now.. i still can't flexible enough to to a leg lift to runner's pose... reverse triangles? Hmmm... why do I get the feeling that that's a really hard yoga move? =)
