My sister, Alison, got me this book (journal-type book) that is called Listography. She said that she knows how much I love to make lists and maybe this would be a fun book to fill in. The illustrations are a hoot, too.
When she gave it to me, I just casually flipped through it and looked at the pictures and some of the titles of the lists. It looked like something fun and I was excited to start coming up with things to fill the book, even though I still had no idea what it was all about. When I actually spent some time looking at it, I realized what the intention of the book was...
What an absolutely cool idea!!
The very first list is "list the pets you've had and their names." There are a few of the usual suspects - list your favorite books, your favorite movies - but there are some really off the wall lists like, "List the ways you've changed since you were a teen," and "list the things people should remember you for," and "list your best purchases."
How fun!
I am so glad that Alison thought of me when she saw this book. I am going to fill up as much as possible. I'm not sure I can fill in each list section, though, there is just something incredibly personal about "list the strangest places you've had sex" and I honestly don't think I want that in my autobiography...even in a list!
Have a great day.
