Hold on, a couple of thoughts on your list...
24. I love Growing Pains.
(Do you mean "I love watching Kirk Cameron and learning how to french kiss my pillow"?)
and
14. I love sitting on a porch during a thunderstorm, drinking a glass of wine and reflecting on life.
(Did you really mean "I love sitting by the bar, chugging a beer and thunderstorming the dance floor as I grind on those groomsmen." ???)
Just curious? :)
