Amy is a good friend

...and my only friend. I must admit that this is my first time to be tagged. And dang it if it doesn't feel good!

Three things that scare me:
1.)Tornados. Tell me that a whirling column of powerful wind and nail-filled pieces of flying trailer house doesn't scare the snot out of you. Just tell me.
2.)Scary cave monsters. Not to copy Amy, but I made the fatal error of watching "The Descent" a few weeks ago. Not only have I not slept since, but I recently had an ultra-realistic dream in which my hubby merely pretended to be one those awful flesh-eating cave-dwellers, and I've been watching my back ever since. Mind you, this was just a dream and he was just pretending in the dream, but I still can't trust him. You just never know.
3.) Carnies. They just can'thave good intentions.

Three people who make me laugh:
1.) Josh. I've honestly had to argue with him more than once over the exsistence of vampires.
2.) My brother Caleb. After being mistaken time after time for my older brother, Jacob, who appeared on Fear Factor recently, Caleb finally just started going along with people and pretending he was Jacob. He answered questions about what fun he'd had, how the cochroaches tasted and what he was going to do with money. Caleb is currently studying to be actor. He's obvioulsy good at it.
3.) Can Hiss from the Disney version of "Robin Hood" count as a person?


Three things I hate the most:
1.) My miniature toenails and their inability to look normal.
2.) People who talk too much. Please, annoying man who comes into my office once a week, please take a hint. I don't have time to hear about your vacation to Alaska. I don't care about your lazy-reared golf game. And though you may not mention it in your incessant chatter, I can tell you've been smoking for the past 800 years, and I appreciate you sharing that thick raspy laugh/cough with me. At least it breaks up the nonsense.
3.) And finally, vomiting.

Three things I don't understand:
1.) Why I got a degree in Broadcasting.
2.) Why God created billions of stars and incredible far-away galaxies for no apparent reason.
3.) Why God created humongous scary-teethed fish that dwell deep in what would otherwise be the nice peaceful ocean.

Three things I'm doing right now:
1.) Pretending not to be looking at the new People magazine.
2.) Chewing on my awful looking cuticles.
3.) Thinking about lunchtime.

Three things I want to do before I die:
1.) Have babies.
2.) Successfully aquire a hobby. So far, in my 23 years, I have tried and failed at all of the following: singing, playing piano, playing softball, basketball, all track and field events, being an extrovert, collecting stamps, making foil balls, making rubberband balls, collecting anything, doing other people's hair, playing violin, skipping rocks and being consistently trendy. This is not an exhaustive list.
3.) Get lovely, sculpted arms.

Three things I can do:
1.) Marry goodlooking talented men.
2.) Identify various beverages in a blind taste test.
3.) Wear my Rainbow flip flops until they get so old and worn out that they simple cease to exsist.

Three ways to describe my personality:
1.) Thrifty.
2.) Casual.
3.) Secret spy-like.

Three things I can't do:
1.) Enjoy running.
The rest of my limitations are too numerous to list. So we'll leave it at that.

Three things I think you should listen to:
1.) I don't know the answer to this.

Three things you should never listen to:
1.) I don't know the answer to this either.

Three things I'd like to learn:
1.) Spanish
2.) How to look in the mirror and think to myself "Wow, this outfit looks incredible on me! I have a great sense of style and feel loved and admired wherever I go, and should for no reason second-guess my choice of shirt, hair color or nose size. I am so freaking confident!"
3.) How not to cry at the end of sad movies. Wouldn't it be wonderful to walk out of a theater after a tear-jerker and not be painfully aware of your shiny red nose and swollen blood-shot eyes when you see your friends in the lobby?
It's the simple things, really.

Three favorite foods:
1.) Sushi
2.) Plain ol' white cake with white icing. Mmmmm...delicious.
3.) My mom's mashed potatoes and deviled eggs.

Three beverages I drink regularly:
1.) Water
2.) Milk
3.) Some ridiculous protein-laced muscle-building drink that Josh forces on me but has failed to produce any results as of yet.

Three shows I watched as a kid:
1.) Smurfs
2.) Saved by the Bell (when my mom wasn't around).
3.) Superbook (about the kids who travel through a retro-digital Bible to experience wonderful Biblical adventures...when my mom was around).

Three people I'm tagging (to do this): My friends who read something like this are limited, so Josh and Luke consider yourself tagged. And Devi...you've been double tagged. Beware the triple tag!

I don't think I told you that we watched "The Descent." That is exactly what put my caveaphobia at the forefront of my phobias.

I'm glad you've not yet succeded at your goal of making extroversion a hobby.

The really interesting writers are all introverts.
