Survey Time!

More stuff about me! Aren't you excited?

1. Have you ever been searched by the cops? No. I'm not generally a troublemaker
2. Do you close your eyes on roller coasters? No
3. When’s the last time you’ve been sledding? High School. Jason and I once went as a date. I like the going down the hill part, but not the coming back up.
4. Would you rather sleep with someone else, or alone? Well, I do love my husband, but I actually sleep much better alone. I am a pretty light sleeper, and once I am woken up, it is really hard to go back to sleep.
5. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes
6. Do you consider yourself creative? Can't you tell from this fabulous blog?
7. Do you think O.J. killed his wife? Of course he did
8. Team Aniston or Team Jolie? I don't like either of them, but I think Brad Pitt was a jerk to cheat on Aniston
9. Can you honestly say you know ANYTHING about politics? More about local politics than national. I think paying attention to the local politics is more important, since those effect us more directly
10. Do you know how to play poker? Nope
11. Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight? No, I enjoy sleeping too much. On our way home from Europe last year, I was up for 24 hours straight.
12. What’s your favorite commercial? Now that I have a DVR, commercials are an annoyance I don't have to deal with anymore
13. Who was your first love? Jason
14. If you’re driving in the middle of the night, and no one is around you, do you run a red light?
No. As referenced before, I tend to be a law abiding citizen
15. Do you have a secret that no one knows but you? Yes
16. Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees? Those are sports teams, right?
17. Have you ever been Ice Skating? Yes! I actually really like it, despite my weak ankles
18. How often do you remember your dreams? Only if they are bad.
19. What’s the one thing on your mind? Right now? How I should be preparing my Sunday School lesson, but instead I am answering trivial questions about myself
20. Do you always wear your seat belt? Yes-I don't want any tickets...or to die
21. What talent do you wish you had? I wish I could dance
22. Do you like Sushi? This will make me sound lame sauce, but no. I think it is overpriced and just not worth it.

24. Do you truly hate anyone? Occasionally
25. If you could sleep with one famous person, who would it be? Ewan Macgregor (don't worry, Jason knows about it)

28. Have you ever made fun of your friends behind their back? Yes
29. Have you ever been punched in the face? No. Again, I am usually a pacifist and don't get involved with violence
30. Do you believe in angels and demons? I believe I will go see the movie, since it has my aforementioned favorite actor in it.

It's like the Daily Show and Colbert combined...

Every day, I check out theonion.com. And every day, I find something awesome, like this:

Congress Forced To Watch Training Video About Bipartisan Cooperation

And they will call him Dr. Jason...

Why? Because starting this fall, Jason will be a PhD student in Economics at the University of Utah! He received his acceptance on Monday night, and even though he missed the deadline by a month, he was still able to get funding i.e. we don't have to pay for tuition! He will be working as a TA for lower division economics courses and will receive a small stipend. He applied for the program less than 2 weeks ago, so it was amazing to hear back so soon. Now we can know what to expect and how to prepare for it. The worst part will be that I won't see my husband very much while he is in school, but the rewards will definately be worth it when he is finished (a recession proof job!). Anyways, Jason has approximately 4.5 months before his life is sucked away by the fascinating world of market forces, derivatives and other fun economic stuff. So schedule him into your calendar now!

Signs

Someone should totally hire this guy for General Conference...where there is also an abundance of signs claiming to know God's opinion...

So that's where Orlando Bloom comes from...

I have never thought much about Iceland. I could locate it on a map, I know they speak their own language (Icelandic) and recently, the whole country had to declare bankruptcy. But apparently, there is a whole new realm of weird I never even thought of! Check this out:

Elf Detection 101: How to find the hidden folk of Iceland
