100 Things.

Christmas has come and gone, and so have my Grandparents, so I should be going back to my erratic blogging schedule.


And here is my Christmas present to you:

One Hundred Things You Probably Don't Know About Adrienne Louise Pressnall:

4. I used to think Apple Computers were stupid, because they didn't play normal computer games.
(I was 10.)
5. I went through a major Green Day phase. I still have a lot of random Green Day knowledge
lodged in my brain like: Trè Cool's real name is Frank Edwin Wright III. I don't like to talk
about it. It's like colon cancer: you just don't talk about it.
6. I own a Panic! At The Disco, and a Green Day t-shirt, and I wear them a lot to sleep.

plays. The closer you are to being like Jim, the more I love you.

82.When I was eight, we went to Grapevine Mills Mall, and we were going to go to the Rainforest
Cafe, and I saw the robot crocodile outside of the restaurant, and was so terrified of it, that I

pretty freaked out by that thing.
