Random Challenge

So my friend Hari Krishna, has challenged me to what can only be described as the blog-equivalent of one of those "get to know you" chain emails. Seeing as I've got and hour and half until rounds and nothing to do except study, I have decided to rise to her challenge.

So here are six random things about me, appropriately in random order...

1. I am daily amazed at how blessed I am. Sometimes it takes my breath away.

2. I have a borderline unnatural interest in dragons. Had it not been for finding cool friends in elementary school, I might have ended up being a third level wizard in the local Dungeons and Dragons club. Instead, I just spend too much time reading dragon related books and watching dragon based tv shows and movies (think Harry Potter, Eragon series, DragonHeart, etc).

3. Despite the fact that I have completed approximately 5/8 of my medical career, I am still scared to death of getting my long white coat, more specifically the responsibility that comes with it.

4. I love the holiday season, especially Christmas. I love hearing the same cheesy Christmas songs sung by the "original" artists (think Frank and Bing) a thousand times. I love candlelight Christmas Eve service. I love the twinkling lights. I love the cold. And, secondary to this love of Christmas and my present state of free time, I have already started decorating my house. Just the inside. I figure that I don't exactly entertain on a weekly basis, so I can get by with starting to deck the halls with bows of holly, and no one but me will know the difference. I won't consider this abnormal until I start doing it before Halloween.

5. Sushi has become a staple in my life. Every time the Cutest Boy in the World mentions eating out, my first thought is always sushi. I try my hardest to suppress this so that he can enjoy some variety in his diet, but somewhere deep inside as I stuff my face with cheese dip and chimichanga, I feel disappointed that its not sushi. I'm pretty sure I could eat it, realisitically, three times a week. Yum....

6. I think Ann Taylor Loft should pay me a small advertising fee. Thanks to my recent need for professional clothes, my wardrobe is almost entirely sponsored by the store. Don't get me wrong, I go shopping other places. But I always end up getting scared by the trendiness or overwhelmed by the selection or disgusted at the prices. Therefore, I head back home to the Loft.
