81. i've been estranged from my dad's side of the family for the past 3 years. my dad and his little brother fought over my grandparents going into "the old person's home' and it got real nasty, so my family has never heard from them since. it's been 3 years and I really really really miss them. my aunt was super cool, and their 3 daughters are my only 1st cousins.
82. at my 15 year HS reunion one of the popular football jocks came up to me drunk and asked how i was doing, and asked if i was still doing art. I said i was, and he went on to tell me what a great artist i was, and how glad he was that i was still doing it. He wanted me to know that he drives a doughnut truck for a living and apologised for being an asshole in high school. it was completely shocking, yet very satisfying!
83. i saw Sting in concert for the 1st time on March 13 2003... all by myself (No one else would pay $230). i was 15th row, but made my way UP TO THE STAGE and stayed there the whole night and cried my eyes out. it was worth every cent.
84. i visited my aunt in Tijuana for 3 weeks in 1990. it was the most amazing trip of my life.
i was homesick, and didn't sleep well, but i still miss that town to this day.
85. I had Hamsters when i was in grade school and high school and my 2nd year of college (1993) I bought my first baby girl rat. Her name was La Keesha. i loved her to death and so i bought her a friend named Le Kiwi.
86. My 3rd rat's name was Sa Susu. All my girl rats died of heinous breast tumors, so after her I switched to boys.
87. the worst moment of my adult life was the night i was passing a kidney stone in the emergency room and they did not know what was wrong with me. they did all kinds of evil things to me in there-it was a living nightmare.
88. Even though I am not a parent, I firmly believe that children should not be hit in any way.
89. My brother is an electrical engineer, and he repairs the engines on US Naval battle ships all over the world.
90. i need to lose about 50 pounds. I joined a gym last year and gained 8 more.
91. My husband is Filipino. I said if we ever have kids they will be Polipinos.
92. the girl name i had picked out if i ever had a baby was Nola Anne. just recently I found out that Nola is short for "urinola" which is what they call portable toilets or bedpans in the Philippines. my mother-in-law exclaimed, "I can't call my grand-child, Toilet".
93. i spend most of my time ion my art room, either sewing or on the internet. I should be painting.
94. my mom and i have a long history of us "not getting along". the past 2 years have been a bit better... but it's always been bad between us. i don't particularly like her, and she's just a nasty bitch to me.
95. i love snow. i love everything about snow. shoveling it, walking in it, playing in it, driving in it.
96. my favorite scents are : pear, melon, tea rose, frankincense and peony.
97. i love roses and love to grow them.
98. i used to volunteer at the animal shelter, and my husband currently volunteers to help teach and mentor mentally handicapped young adults.
99. My favorite painters are: (in no certain order)

100. my first website was called: monicasfun.com. My friend owned an ISP company back in 1996 and i called him up and registered the name with him and he gave me some webspace for free. I posted pictures, had a webcam, and i didn't "blog" i "ranted"..ahha. it was crazy fun and the site lasted about 4 years when I took it down in 2000. woot.
