The listography
Surviving College Life recently posted a really cool idea – creating a “listography,” or a biography of yourself in list format. Since we all know I love lists, and also apparently read too many college-themed websites, I thought I’d give the idea a try. Read the post (by poster Jamie), it’s really cool. And it has a bunch of stuff that never would have crossed my mind. I would’ve come up with “favourite movies” and “favourite books.” Since reading her suggestions, I’ve come up with a couple – “things I found while cleaning my room” and “things I wanted to be as a kid.” I’ve already done “stupid things I’ve done” and when I gather a couple more (I actually fell over while standing still last week) I’ll post another installment.
So, as a brief intro, here’s a list on why I’m still awake at 6:45 AM on August 20, which is when I’m writing this, but will post-date (post-post?) since I already posted something today.
- I’m worried about stuff
- I keep getting caught in list rabbit holes (mostly on the awesome Listverse)
- I keep getting caught in college website rabbit holes
- I felt the need to start a bunch of posts for those days when I can’t think of anything to write
- I’ve ignored my RSS feeder for weeks and there are well over 2000 items in my queue
- once the sun comes up, staying up 30 minutes later doesn’t seem very important
- my ass is totally numb, and thus, not sore from sitting
Hope you got a better sleep than I did.



Hey thanks for the link love.
I am kind of obsessed with lists, too. I love making grocery lists organized by aisle, and especially packing lists for taking trips. I don’t know why.
Bringing order to a disorganized world is a pretty noble task. Those who list do not take listing lightheartedly.
