List making is one of my passions. Some were quite ordinary, such as lists of classes and homework to be done throughout my school years. I have also made lists of cat breeds, Olympic marathon champions, my collection of Beanie Babies (I have over 200) and the countries of the world and their capitals.

I love books like "The Book of Lists."

my 7 year old makes what he calls an "irratated list" while at school--instead of doing his work of course :lol: He writes the names of all the people that have irratated him that day, and he keeps a "love list" in his head of which I am #1 of course, and poor daddy is about #5!! He has another separate "school love list" that is only for school people. 8)

Yes, I make lists of everything. Though certain ones I'm more obsessed with, updating them frequently every day. They're good distractions.

Making lists is so much fun! I like to make lists of my favorite anime and videogame characters and favorite pairings of said characters.

Well I list things I have to do at work or I'd forget it all (terrible memory)
Aside from practical lists I list films I've seen and books i've read. The film one is fairly new and I wish I'd done it from the very first film I ever watched because it would be a HUGE list.

I like to play top 5 lists with people, you know top 5 movie baddies, top 5 food, anything really. Trouble is no one else likes to play and thinks I have too much free time to be concerned with such trivia. Ah well, top 5 things to waste precious time on:

-Lists
-Useless personality quizzes that tell you which TV character etc. you are
-Google earthing people's houses and places I've been to
-Outlining pictures in magazines with a pen
-Cutting stuff out (which I actually have to do at work sometimes and causes much hilarity when I offer to do it because I find it chilling and not boring)
