About
Hi! I’m Stephanie, and I like lists almost as much as I like overusing parenthetical statements.
I like bullet points, which you can tell are dangerous because they involve the word “bullet”. I like numbered lists. Why stop at whole numbers? Let’s use decimals, fractions, and imaginary numbers! (Decimals are fractions and I don’t really know or care enough about imaginary numbers to talk about them or Google them intelligently. For all I know, a list based on the number i would render the list itself imaginary. In that case, pretend I’ve made that list, and it’s imaginary, and that’s why you can’t find it.) I even like checklists.
Listful Thinking’s Manifesto:
- I believe everything can be categorized and listed.
- I believe the world needs more lists.
- I believe in miracles since you came along, you sexy thing.
Listful Thinking’s Opposite-of-a-Manifesto:
- I don’t believe in keeping snakes as pets.
- I don’t believe I can fly.
- I don’t believe in life after love. What am I supposed to do, sit around and wait for you? Well I can’t do that.
Find Listful Thinking on Facebook, or follow me on Twitter, creeper.
Do I get any “funny points” for commenting on your “About” Page?? As a former math tutor, I was rolling on the floor laughing… see? my keyboard is all dusty now….
Hey Steph, where’s your wordpress?
I meant twitter, ha, but I found it. Cool
Awesome levels of funny, girl.

my engish knowedge SUUUCK…
and so does my keyboard!
Yay for lists and creepers on Twitter! You rock yo.
Hi Stephanie -
If you wouldn’t mind, I’d like to illustrate one of your Twitter posts for an installment of my “Twips” comic. (Sound OK? Let me know.)
Thanks!

Stephanie,
I tried to post this comment earlier: Would you allow me to illustrate one of your Twitter posts for my “Twips” comic? Thanks!

Hi Greg!
I just got around to approving comments so yours should pop up here pretty soon. I love your website and it would be great to see a Twitter post illustrated, so I say go for it! Thanks for thinking of me!
Sounds good; I’ll send you a note here and/or via Twitter, to let you know when it’s posted.
Thanks
Also: You might enjoy my brother Brad’s new “Triviazoids” blog. It’s a unique twist on the familiar “Today in history” listings:

I LOVE THIS BLOG. You are hilarious. Go girl!!
I was going to give you a list of reasons I love this blog, but let’s just leave it at this – you’re hilarious! Keep up the great work!
This blog is very innovative.
Your blog is just plain awesome. I can only hope one day to be as awesome as you. And yes, if you were wondering.. I’m now going to stalk you on Twitter. Muahahahaha
Ha. Well, I’ll be the one with the annoying Twitter feed, if that helps with your stalking. It doesn’t take much to be like me. Just sit around a lot and worry a lot more than is necessary. Mission accomplished.
I just wanted to encourage you to continue writing, you are very talented and I love reading. I hope to hear from you soon!
I am really enjoying your writing. Love your sense of humor. Itls a little like mine save for my potty mouth.
Good stuff
Tinkerbell or Lost Child? Peter Pan we need you…..
nice write-up… although you have penned down a satire on your own life, i feel you really enjoy your life the way it is…
i really enjoyed reading this blog!!
I get you man. I totally get you.
I just read that awkward city post, and I was like… Oh my god, I just recently left MY number on the back of a receipt for a waiter that I believe is the most handsome man ever, and now that he hasn’t called me, I’m contemplating casually stalking him.
People underestimate the value of a casual stalk- you know I’ve heard that simply seeing someone frequently can make you notice them and/or fall in love and decide you want them to be the mother of your children and maybe grow old and clean each other’s dentures together, drink lemonade, oh I don’t know, join a zumba class.
All I’m saying is there’s still hope. There’s still hope that we could each snag an extremely good-looking waiter.
I could be wrong about this, but I imagine he would be very sweet about always clearing the table after dinner.
Steph, Great job. I was immediately hooked with your post Awkward City! I’ve started my blog only recently, mostly as an experiment. I value good writing most, and your’s is absolutely the best! I think like you write. But NOW, I’m thinking I should be writing like I’m thinking… I know you’ll appreciate that!
I was proud to have my post mentioned on a side bar next to yours!
It would have been very easy for me to say “Hmmph why is hers listed with a big picture and header?”
(Of course I didn’t!)
But IF I did, once I read your post
(Of course I did!)
It would have been immediately apparent yours was just right where it belonged! Great Job!
O U r Tu 4 , Or R 4 u?? HaHAhaha . U. Yeau. Yeau.
I have a new love! You’re witty and funny and your blog entries just plain hooked me. Will stop now so I can continue stalking this blog :)))
I really like the t-shirt.
Hi Stephanie,
You have it right. I am a lady and my name is also Stephanie. I think your blog is amazing and I just want to congratulate you on being Freshly Pressed. (that’s how I found Listful Thinking) I have a friend who calls me The Stefanator so, I’ll just say this about your blog, I’ll be back!
What a creative idea, ‘listful thinking’. I like it! I’ll be back.
I’m just gonna go ahead and say it… I love you.
Seriously though, your blog is awesome which makes me think you are awesome… Just sayin’
Cute and wierd. Great combination.
Awkward City must become a movie.
I find it very hard to believe you have no friends. This may be the greatest blog I have ever seen.
Hello Stephanie,
Quite a character! I really like your blog and I wish I was as funny as you are!! You can be my friend, although, l also find it hard to believe that you have no friends :)
Way to go, Stephanie! People like you make life interesting…Friends are for wusses, anyway!
Just nominated your blog for a “versatile blog award”, check out here and congrats! http://ohmymuse.wordpress.com/2012/01/22/nominated-for-a-versatile-blogger-award-nice/
addictive writing.
god bless you.
I like the order you place your letters into. And those spaces… don’t get me started. Keep it up!
This blog is a breath of fresh air. You are a very talented writer; thank you for sharing!
Even your “about” page made me laugh out loud! I want you to know that many of your posts crack me up. I recently wrote a post about my desire to recognize blogs that do this for me (actually it was about a condescending wench, but it got there eventually). As a result of my ramblings, I created an award called the LOL Award and am presenting it to five bloggers who crack me up. Consider yourself “officially presented.”
Check out the original post and see what you think (http://twyste.com/2012/01/24/the-crack-up-award/).
And, know that I enjoy your blog and you make me laugh! I’ll be including a list of all the “winners” in Friday’s post.
Hi Stephnie,
I love your blog and potatoes are my favorites too.
We could totally be friends :)
I’ve nominated you for a Liebster Blog Award because I want the world to know about your hilarious and clever blog!

I have nominated you for a blog award over on Ink, perhaps that will distract you from the blood bursting from your face!

Tag! You’re it! You’ve been tagged by No Sugar, Just Spice! http://nosugarjustspice.wordpress.com/2012/05/17/tag-youre-it/
I. Love. This. Lists and organization make the world so much better (and neater). I knew I was getting good roommates in college when one of the girls made a list and sent it to me.
You are hi-freaking-larious girl! Love your blog:)
I think you might be my new favourite blogger. Lists are probably the best thing.
This blog is great. I love lists, I don’t know how people stay organized without them. Keep it up.
Every time I see a list, I’m drawn to it like a moth. What is that?! Is it a disorder? You’re clever Stephanie. I enjoyed the humor.
Awesome. Love it. Consider yourself followed… (Creepy, huh?)
Hi, Stephanie! I just nominated you for a Very Inspiring Blogger Award! Tag! You’re it! Bwa ha ha ha ha ha! http://hollybernabe.wordpress.com/2012/07/18/inpirational-blogger-award/

http://dontquotelily.wordpress.com/2012/07/18/you-are-all-so-lovely/
i definitely feel like we would be fast friends.
i shall stalk you to find out more.
that sounds creepier than intended. what i mean is: i enjoy your writing. i’m glad wordpress suggested you.
Great blog and looking forward to reading more of your work!!!
The worst part is they make you use imaginary numbers in ‘REAL’ math….
Oops, I jsut saw how many followers you have & it’s about 20 times more than stated in the terms & conditions of this award but you deserve it anyhow! http://betterthansurviving.me/2013/02/15/the-liebster-award/
From reading your posts and your ‘about me’, you sound so much like me. I love lists. A new list (or more as the need arises) a day is a satisfying thing to do. I also hate hugs (and other physical displays of affection). I too love food (off to my first slimming world tonight as I clearly cannot be trusted around food) but am as happy eating.. well, I’m just happy eating. Keep your posts coming. Really enjoying them :)
There is something fun and very cool going on here. I’m happy every time I read one of your post. Our blogs have some similarities. I jump around from various subjects and tones. I use lists now and then so I could learn from you. It’s a great way to convey info, for sure. Being authentic, that’s what matters the most.
Hilarious! Btw I love lists too!! Seriously. Not being funny at all ;)
Your writing made me press the follow button. Look forward to more!
Cheers,
Archana
You are hilarious! I’ll follow you anywhere. I enjoy lists as well, can’t do without them really. I just read your post on The Outlier Collective and now I see that you’ve been Freshly Pressed, too! Congratulations to you! – Amy
