  2. I assumed I was the one to page you out of the date, but I didn't want to appear too presumptuous that I showed up in multiple items of your 100 things. I don't think you were rude- you were being careful not to waste his or your time.

  3. Lol, love it Lindsey! I agreed with so many, laughed at a few (because I remember you as a teenager ^^), and was amazed at how awesomely honest you are.

  4. Good grief! I seriously wanted to copy and paste the whole list and then include my comments on every single point! It freaks me out how much we are similar and we only spent about 3 days together! For now I shall say this: L-O-V-E the name Presley ( and Hudson and Cooper haha!), I would also choose Candy over Flowers, and food and sleep and alot of others things. I'm going to get me some Excedrin, I have terrible headaches. I have a husband that can juggle... but he also does magic, so you probably wouldn't like him. But most of all I can't believe about Harry Potter... that might end the strange friendship we have.

    p.s. are you going to camp? I AM!
