10. eBay.
11. Peanut butter cookies.
12. Egyptian Lotus candles from World Market.

oh. my. god. we have so many things in common!!! except: i must disagree about peanut M&Ms... i avoid them at all costs and splash out on reeses pieces instead!
but: yay! to daffodils, thrift shops, the london tube, snyders pretzel bits, flip flops, guiness and music!!! me too!!!
Of course this means we're going to have to get together when I get down there!
I really love your list of 100. I saw Golfwidow's list and was inspired to do one as well.
I am now officially stalking you.
You're my evil twin. Or maybe you're the good one. Whatever.
The point is, let's go get tattoos and visit dive bars and dig thunderstorms on porch swings and eat spinach and artichoke pizza!!!
(The only thing that seperates us is LOTR. I'm neutral about the books, which some claim should lose me my Voracious Sci-fi Reader card, but I say, "Fuck you, come try and GET it from me!!!" Dug the movies, though. This will serve to make us different enough that we can tell ourselves apart.)
