I am obsessed with this website:
Absolutely can’t get enough of it right now. I'm interested in seeing what other people weigh in on this. I'd like to see how many categories you (honestly) fall into. My money is on Cmah to take the crown by alot. (Cmah, come back home. Seriously. I apologize for all the racist Asian jokes. You were white after all.) You can either reply to the post or post your own analysis using welsh@stanford.edu and harwick7.
I’m only counting 9 things that I like on the list. (I would probably also like Wrigley Field except I've never been there. My parents did bring me pictures of Ryne Sandberg and Shawon Dunston from Wrigley when I was a kid which I really liked.)
The list of things I like:
Graduate school: I've been here for 2.5 years and am less than halfway finished.
Juno- Good movie. I like when she plays that Hole song with Jason Bateman.
Dogs- Must be over 20 pounds, though.
Indie music
Arrested Development- Favorite show ever. Probably my #1 on this list.
Microbreweries- They usually have sports on tv, food, and beer. All things that I like. (I guess they always have beer, huh?)
Traveling- There is something I gave up for Lent that I like doing on road trips. Wow, I’m really craving one right now.
Wes Anderson movies- Bottle Rocket is on my Facebook profile!
Assists- I think the blogger meant to say 'hustle' but probably doesn't understand sports enough to get the concept. (He’s from Canada so he only knows hockey and basketball. He would clearly also like Mike Alstott and David Eckstein who have never made any assists. I love hustle. (I read an interview with the guy who made the site. He described himself as a white guy from a neighborhood in
Finally, I would like to say that I don’t like marathons. In the marathon I ran 17 days ago, 5 of my toenails fell off and I became an alcoholic for 2 weeks afterwards.

Too lazy to add up the score. White people don't like numbers...
p.s. I did this at work
I counted 41 for you. Nince work. I had to make a few judgement calls on ambiguous answers. I counted them up at work.
I'm at 10 now with the addition of hating corporations.
I wasn't going to post, and then I realized that I can set this bar impossibly high. I dare anyone to be whiter than me.
* #82 Hating Corporations: Yes
* #81 Graduate School: I'm not smart enough to get in

* #77 Musical Comedy: I love Adam Sandler so much that I own Spanglish.
* #76 Bottles of Water: I prefer the tap, but on the road I always buy bottles rather than fill up my own water bottle.
