Me, Myself, and I

3 Joys.

Pride and Prejudice (the movie or book, I like it all)

Knowing Benjy has a stable job (I hope, right Mandy :) jk) that we like.

Pastries. When I was younger, my parents would get pastries for their 'special treat' just for them. Now, when ever I get a pastry, I feel so special.

3 Fears.

#1 Fear-Car accidents, big or small. Crazy, I know. Accidents that bother me because I feel like it is out of my control. It doesn't matter how careful I am, it doesn't mean moron (yes, I am putting this mildly) still isn't going to hit me or my family. II am always telling Benjy that accidents (of any sort) don't happen on purpose and this area TOTALLY applies. I. Sometimes I honestly feel like taking on the "old lady driving philosophies" and quit driving and have everything delivered to my house.

Heights-but this one does have parameters. If I am indoors, I am fine. It is the outdoors, hanging over the railing, feel the wind in my hair that makes me die. My family is probably laughing at me right now thinking about the Grand Canyon. In order to look down and see the canyon, I have to be sitting down on the ground. I feel like I am less likely to fall to my death that way.

Spiders and snakes-enough said

3 Obsessions.

Hobbies. I would list one hobby but there isn't one. I get really hooked on something for a while and it is all I think about....until something better comes along

This one is really weird. Numbers. I am OCD with numbers. Budgeting, spreadsheets, counting, countdowns, etc.

Getting my ME time.

3 Goals.
Own a house

Be more outwardly social (I am actually a very social person but I have a hard time finding social situations. Does that even make sense?)

Travel the world. First stop (in like 50 yrs)... England


3 Surprising Facts about Me

I love action movies. Benjy and I went to see Live Free or Die Hard while I was pregnant and I got so into it that is gave me contractions. I also really love stupid movies. The more stupid, the better. I seriously watch Sahara or Starsky and Hutch about ever other week if not more.

For some reason I really REALLY want a really nice TV and I have wanted this for years. This is surprising because I am quite the tight wad. A nice television is so overpriced. I don't even watch that much television but I still want one. The kind of TV that everyone wants to come over and watch the big game (even though I don't watch sports) on. For the last five years, I have only owned a 20". Before that my family always had decent televisions but never the WOW ones. I want a WOW television.

Even though my mother is Canadian, I am fully American :) While Benjy and I were dating, his roomates didn't like the fact that I am half Canadian (go ahead, make fun of me). They decided to remedy the problem by making Christina full Canadian and me full American. I guess I was supposed to come up with something surprising instead of crazy. Oh well.
