- #117 Political Prisoners-Like.
- #116 Black Music that Black People Don’t Listen to Anymore-Love.
- #115 Promising to Learn a New Language - Done that. I probably get extra points because I've done it with Esperanto.
- #114 America-Love.
- #113 Halloween-Love.
- #112 Hummus-Love.
- #111 Pea Coats-Double Love.
- #110 Frisbee Sports-I'm kind of a fan because they're generally easier than other sports, but I would never pick one for an activity.
- #109 The Onion-Love.
- #108 Appearing to Enjoy Classical Music-I do enjoy it...and now I sound like a classic white person, but I really do.
- #107 Self Aware Hip Hop References-Yeah, I do this.
- #106 Facebook-Love. And I probably get extra points because I take great pride in the fact that when I joined Facebook, there were only 30ish people in the BYU network and I therefore feel responsible for the whole facebook revolution.
- #105 Unpaid Internships-Love the idea of it.
- #104 Girls with Bangs-I cut my hair into blunt bangs about a month ago because I would always have bang envy and I love it.
- #103 Sweaters-Love.
- #102 Children’s Games as Adults-Love.
- #101 Being Offended-Not really a fan.
- #100 Bumper Stickers-Not on my own vehicle, because they're tacky, but certainly on other people's vehicles, as the give kind of a nice middle-America feel to the street you're driving on.
- #99 Grammar-Love.
- #98 The Ivy League-Indifferent.
- #97 Scarves-Love.
- #96 New Balance Shoes-I don't own a single pair of athletic shoes of any sort at the moment...just don't have a lot of need for them. However, I do think more highly of a person wearing New Balance shoes than pretty much any other brand, though never realized that until now.
- #95 Rugby-Indifferent.
- #94 Free Healthcare-Like the idea.
- #93 Music Piracy-Love.
- #92 Book Deals-Depends on who's getting it.
- #91 San Francisco-Love.
- #90 Dinner Parties-Double Love.
- #89 St. Patrick’s Day-Like.
- #88 Having Gay Friends-Love.
- #87 Outdoor Performance Clothes-Hate. I'm a dresses and heels person even on off-days and I think outdoor performance clothes are generally over-priced and unflattering.
- #86 Shorts-Not a huge fan, but mostly indifferent.
- #85 The Wire-Never seen it.
- #84 T-Shirts-Depending on what the T-Shirt says/doesn't say, I either love or hate. Nothing in between.
- #83 Bad Memories of High School-While I certainly have my share of cringe-inducing memories from high school, I don't like to think/talk about them and I generally think of high school as a good time of my life. Middle school is a different story.
- #82 Hating Corporations-I do this occasionally, but know that I benefit too much from corporations to be too serious about it.
- #81 Graduate School-Instant respect to anyone who is/was a grad student. Particularly if it's in something useless like Art History.
- #80 The Idea of Soccer-I am the person who says they love soccer and laments it's lack of popularity in the US, but actually doesn't know a ton about it.
- #79 Modern Furniture-Love.
- #78 Multilingual Children-Love.
- #77 Musical Comedy-Double Love.
- #76 Bottles of Water-Don't particularly like. Sometimes practical, but often ridiculous.

- #73 Gentrification-Love.
- #72 Study Abroad-I have a lot of jealously for anyone who has done this.
- #71 Being the only white person around-Never really happens to me, but I'm sure I'd be a fan if it did.
- #70 Difficult Breakups-If I'm perfectly honest with myself: Love.
- #69 Mos Def-Like.
- #68 Michel Gondry-Not familiar enough with to give a good opinion.
- #67 Standing Still at Concerts-I do this.
- #66 Divorce-Don't like. People generally get divorced because they're too lazy/lack the self restraint to make their marriage work.
- #65 Co-Ed Sports-Indifferent.
- #64 Recycling-Love.
- #63 Expensive Sandwiches-I've been known to enjoy one.
- #62 Knowing What’s Best for Poor People-Of course I do.
- #61 Bicycles-Love.
- #60 Toyota Prius-Love.

- #57 Juno-Like.
- #56 Lawyers-Like.
- #55 Apologies-Love.
- #54 Kitchen Gadgets-Love.
- #53 Dogs-I prefer cats (obviously) and don't think I will ever own a dog, but there are definitely several dogs out there that I love. I say hi to Tess, our neighbor's German Shepherd, every day on my way home from work.
- #52 Sarah Silverman-Not super familiar with her, but she's funny.
- #51 Living by the Water-Love.
- #50 Irony-Love.
- #49 Vintage-Triple Love.
- #48 Whole Foods and Grocery Co-ops-Like the idea, but haven't ever really gotten into it.
- #47 Arts Degrees-Love.
- #46 The Sunday New York Times-Not a regular reader or anything, but like.
- #45 Asian Fusion Food-Enjoy.
- #44 Public Radio-Double Love.
- #43 Plays-Love.
- #42 Sushi-Love.
- #41 Indie Music-Depends, there's some that I would die for and some that I think is just around so that high school kids can listen to it and be in love with how un-mainstream they are.
- #40 Apple Products-Overrated.
- #39 Netflix-Brilliant idea. Never actually used it, but would probably love it if I did.
- #38 Arrested Development-Love.
- #37 Renovations-Love.
- #36 Breakfast Places-Love.
- #35 The Daily Show/Colbert Report-I feel like they've kind of run their course (does anyone see The Colbert Report surviving an Obama presidency?), but: Love.
- #34 Architecture-Love.
- #33 Marijuana-Not a fan.
- #32 Vegan/Vegetarianism-Indifferent. I would never be into it myself.
- #31 Snowboarding-I'm kind of really terrified of anything extreme whatsoever when it comes to sportsy things.
- #30 Wrigley Field-Never been there, but as Fenway Park is roughly equivalent and I felt a rush of excitement there, I'll just say: love. Also, I call myself a Cubs fan even though I don't think I've ever watched a Cubs game all the way through in my whole life.
- #29 80s Night-Triple Love.
- #28 Not having a TV-Love.
- #27 Marathons-I'm so not a participate in sports person, but I definitely have respect for marathon-running people.
- #26 Manhattan (now Brooklyn too!)-Love.
- #25 David Sedaris-Like, but he's not as funny as people seem to think he is.
- #24 Wine-Love using it for cooking (white wine is the secret ingredient in a lot of dishes I make), and I definitely pride myself in my knowledge of wines (for a Mormon kid).
- #23 Microbreweries-I've never had a beer in my life, but am a fan of pretty much anything locally produced and/or unique. I also get a kick off the fact that local breweries here in Utah will often have pictures of Mormon pioneers or the temple on their labels, since that's our heritage.
- #22 Having Two Last Names-Indifferent.
- #21 Writers Workshops-I do, like every other white person, have a few chapters of a novel and short stories stashed away and would love to be a writer. Writer's workshops seem like a waste of money, though.
- #20 Being an expert on YOUR culture-Yeah...I do this.
- #19 Traveling-Love.
- #18 Awareness-Like, but it's a little over-done.
- #17 Hating their Parents-Hate. I love my parents and think people who hate their parents are a bunch of whiners.
- #16 Gifted Children-Impressed with, but I wouldn't say I like them.
- #15 Yoga-Like
- #14 Having Black Friends-Love. Not that I've had a lot.
- #13 Tea-Like the idea.
- #12 Non-Profit Organizations-Love.
- #11 Asian Girls-Love some, hate some.

- #9 Making you feel bad about not going outside-I do this.
- #8 Barack Obama-Love.
- #7 Diversity-Love.
- #6 Organic Food-I'm pretty sure it doesn't make a difference if you eat organic or not. However, if I had the money to do it, I would.
- #5 Farmer’s Markets-Love.
- #4 Assists-I guess I like.
- #3 Film Festivals-Love.
- #2 Religions their parents don’t belong to-I love and believe in the religion my parents raised me in, but I do enjoy playing devil's advocate in religious discussions with my parents and people like them.
- #1 Coffee-Never had it, but I probably get points for loving the smell and the atmosphere of coffee houses.
Conclusion #2: My ex-boyfriend, Tim Boisvert, is the whitest person on earth. I couldn't believe how many things on this list were things I'd heard him rave about.

Haha when I was first introduced to that blog, I did what you did - read down the list going, "yep, yep, yep." I'm not really upset about that though.
I don't agree with you on everything, but I pretty much am with you on all the things you Double loved. Pea coats? Vintage? Omg.
-L
as much as i love you and as much as i love a good portion of those things, i sort of want to punch you in the face right now-but in the best way possible:)
If it makes you feel better, I don't even know who Wes Anderson is.
