Day 8
For my cousin's 21st Birthday her family planned a trip to Vegas. It was supposed to be with her fiance. However her fiance ended up being deployed to the sandbox when the time for the trip rolled around. A free trip to Vegas was then offered to me. Yes please!
It was such an amazing time. I think in the whole week we were there I gambled $20, and that was only on slots. However, the shopping, people watching, just experience of it all was fantastic. We still have so many stories and random references that will make us die laughing. The only down side, don't go in June unless you like 98 degree heat at midnight, 120 degrees during the day. Ugh!

Day 7
Favorite movies:
Pride and Prejudice, either the Collin Firth or the Keira Knightly version. I love them both. The Firth version is more accurate to the book. It's the true story of the book. The Knightly version is beautiful. The shots, scenes, the way the camera follows through crowds showing so much.
Die Hard. All of them.
Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club, basically anything from the Brat Pack.

Day 5
Your Siblings
I never knew how to answer the question Where are you in your family? I have never been the oldest. I have been the baby, the middle child and an only child, depending on when in my life I was answering for and for which side of the family I was talking to.
My parents (mom and dad) had my brother. 2 years later I came along = I'm the baby
My parents divorced and my brother went to live with my father, I would only see him a couple of times a month = I'm an only child with my mother, but on weekends with my father, I was still the baby
My father remarried and his new wife had a baby = I'm the middle child on weekends with my father
My mother remarried and her husband had two older daughters = I'm the baby again with my mother
My mother got divorced again = I'm the only with her except on rare weekends with my older brother
So I guess I'm my mother's baby, but my father's middle.
Jeesh, my life is confusing!

Day 4
Your parents:
My mother is my best friend. It may sound sad, but it's true. We've been through so much, she's the first person I think to tell when something good or bad happens. She's crazy, funny, and so strong. I want to be just like her when I grow up.
My father is very smart. I didn't need the internet growing up (good thing, since it wasn't around until much later). He has knowledge about most things and I could always come to him with a question. He loves being outdoors, and tinkering with things. He is always involved in projects and busy busy busy. He has been a lifesaver in our new homeowner status, especially since we bought an old house with lots of "charm".

Day 3-Your first love
My first love. How boring. It is and was M. I had been in a grand total of 3 relationships before him and I can't say I honestly loved any of them. It was a love at first sight thing, and tha's all she wrote. M and I "met" online on yahoo personnals. My friends told me to go on to see if I'd meet anyone. I told them all I'd done the online thing and was done with it. To appease them, and show them what loosers would contact me online, I chose the cheapest site and put up a very sarcastic profile. Lo and behold I get a message from M. He's pretty cute and seemed to get my humor. We chatted online for a week before exchanging numbers. He called me just after Christmas and our first phone call lasted 7 hours. It was only ended by me saying that I had to pee, so we needed to hang up. By then it was 2AM.
We set up our first date for just after New Years. He drove an hour to my place and picked me up. He was much cuter in person than in the picture he put on his profile. We went to dinner and he had planned on going to a movie after, but we ended up talking at the restaurant for hours. Before we knew it they were trying to close and we had to leave. We didn't want to end the night just yet, so against everything my mother ever told me, I invited him back to my place after the first date.
Back at my apartment we talked for another long time, watched Monty Python's Flying Circus and some other random late night shows. He didn't leave until 2PM the next day. I met his family two weeks later and within in a month my niece and nephew were calling him Uncle.

5. I used to get paid to rumage through rich peoples' laundry
6. I have a huge crush on Masaharu Morimoto
7. My first car was a standard. I didn't learn to drive standard until I was on my third car.
8. I can quote a scary amount of lines from John Hughes movies
9. I really want to move back to my hometown and wish I lived in a lot of country songs
10. I think I was born in the wrong era.
11. I love Christmas movies of all kinds
12. I study the titanic for fun, and will never go on a cruise because of this
13. Tom Cruise, Garth Brooks and Matthew McConaughey make my skin crawl
14. I hate all MTV shows and lose respect for people who watch them.
15. I always wanted to be a forensic psychologist
