very, very interesting. I like the 100 list, it's always intersting to get to know peoples intersting facts.

If you think you love people mag, try people.com, now that's fun.

I'm going to offer Nolan a piece of gum next time I see him.

We too are huge OFFICE fans. How'd you like that finale? I swear everytime I won't keep watching if Pam & Jim don't get together.

It was neat to learn more about you, I may have to steal this idea when I get up to 100. I agree on the Twilight one, it's hard to eat when I'm enjoying the book so much! I think I lost a couple of pounds from reading The Host too.
