A while back, there was this little game on blogs where people would have to write 7 random things about themselves and then tag their blogging buddies to do the same. This was all before I got in on the blog action so I am thus tagging myself so I don't feel left out and because frankly, I don't have anything better to write about. Here are the seven facisnating facts that you may or may not know about me
1. Christmas is my favourite time of the year. I love the decorations, the Christmas carols and the coziness of the indoors while watching it snow. I love how everything smells like a mixture of apple pie, gingerbread and pine trees. I also enjoy a great cup of apple cider, but it has to be the Alpine apple cider from Costco that my mom only buys at Christmas. (Mom, could you buy some for your favourite daughter?)
2. I have never bought a CD for myself. I am not against music per se, but most of time music just seems to get in the way of conversation. Background music is ok, like while your cooking supper or driving in the car, but listening to music just for the sake of listening to music doesn't interest me. In fact it mostly frustrates me. I am aware that I am probably the only person on earth who feels this way, but that is ok.
3. I like to think of myself as patriotic. I think that everyone should celebrate Canada Day with enthusiasm, vote at every opportunity, and wear poppies for Remembrance Day. Canada is a great country. Be proud.
4. Dragonflies scare me. They always fly straight at you. And they are always mating.
5. When I was younger, my aspirations for the future were cleary set out in my mind. I wanted to be a barbie maker, a cowgirl and a mom. I guess I could keep these options open seeing as I currently don't have any better ideas.
6. I am very fond of reality TV. The critics out there will say that none of it is actually real and so forth, but I refuse to believe that those Survivors aren't actually surviving. I know that they always pick the crazy hippie people who do not accuratley represent society as a whole (watch Wife Swap) but I am entertained. We all need mindless entertainment sometimes.
7. I have been dating Jordan Van Dyk for
1046 days, 23 hours and 50 minutes as of 11:50 pm on November 11, 2007...
...and I still love him. I love him a lot. He means the world to me.
I hope you feel enlightened. I tag no one.

I thought I knew you quite well Lindsay....a Barbie Maker? I quess the cowgirl is still an option,if Jordan decides to move to the south and buy a big ol' Ranch.
I promise I will have the Alpine apple cider in the house at Christmas.
Lindsay, about the music thing? You forgot how much you love Jordan singing at the top of his lungs AND DRIVING HIS FAMILY INSANE!!(we actually miss it,but don't tell him:^)).
