Kate Takes 5's weekly Listography began just after Christmas 2010 when I realised I had been spending a ridiculous amount of time surrounding myself with lists - whether it was writing my Christmas present list for the 58th time or spending 4 hours watching the Top 100 anthems of he year I just couldn't seem to get away from them.
Now we all know some lists are more interesting than others. When I was a teenager is was all Top 5 Boys I'd like to kiss, then it moved onto Top 5 Universities I'd like to go to, Top 5 Countries I want to visit, Top 5 jobs I'd like to have, Top 5 baby names...Now it's likely to be a list of things I'll buy when I win the lottery, or which movie star I'm going to elope with (Johnny Depp since you ask). Well there's nothing wrong with a bit of escapism is there?
So I decided to embrace my chronic listism and post an invitation to all of you to take part. And guess what? I found out that I'm not the only Listomaniac out there!
And so, in homage to the wonderful http://www.listography.com/, and to bring together all us Listys, Kate Takes 5's Listography began.
Every so often I'll post a topic and all you need to do is jump aboard and write your own Top 5 list on that subject on your own blog, then just add your blog on the linky, and if you have time visit some of the other lovely entries. You might be surprised by what you find. You can tell a lot from a list you know - take it from an addict that knows.
