75. I can't remember names for anything; not even with people I should know better

84. No matter how much I resent you and your actions towards me, I'll always take the high ground; that's why I grind my teeth so much

88. I enlisted 2 days before Christmas, 1988

100. I've always been better than most, but not one of the best; it's a blessing and a curse
All in one sitting, and this is the first period to end a line.
