100 Things about me
Comments
Re: 100 Things about me
Is one of your secrets the name of the country where you're currently living? Or have I not looked closely enough?
I'll have to do one of these '100 things' lists one of these days. Funny how they conceal as much as they reveal. You have looked close enough

You have looked close enough. However, I was told that some people could easily know where I am; maybe I just lack technological skills to hide it.
About the list. It took me around two weeks to finish it. I had to open a Word document and write a few at a time until I reached 100. Re: You have looked close enough
OK, now I know where you are. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me!
