Liste

En engelsk facebookvenn har bedt om frivilige til å lage lister med MY 40 FAVOURITE THINGS, jeg vet ikke hva det er til, men jeg meldte meg fordi jeg liker å lage lister. Det hadde forresten vært gøy å lage en liste med 40 ting man IKKE liker. He he. Jeg pleier ikke å lage det jeg kaller konkurranselister, dvs at ting må være i foretrukket rekkefølge, men det er gjerne en viss assosiasjonsrekkefølge. Så får man vurdere om assosiasjonene bør stokkes om på. I hvert fall. Her er listen jeg sender ham, selvfølgelig skal det være litt flaue ting også ellers blir det ikke ekte:
