Personal Challenge Countdown: Day 8

3 Films


1. Dirty Dancing

2. A Few Good Men

3. Fight Club

And... 80's teen cult films, crime dramas/gritty cop films, courtroom dramas, movies with fast cars (Fast and the Furious, Gone in 60 Seconds, etc), films with unreliable narrators and twists, dark comedies, and on and on and on

Picking 3 films was almost as hard as picking 4 books! 

But truly, Dirty Dancing is my fav... "Nobody puts Baby in a corner" ... "I carried a watermelon?!"  Chapters has a Dirty Dancing coffee table book complete with photographs and the FULL script *SIGH  I enthusiastically suggested to my boyfriend that we buy it and act out the scenes between Baby and Johnny... sadly he wasn't as excited about the idea :(

Personal Challenge Countdown - Day 3

8 Fears:

1. Spiders
2. Sharks
3. Hair in the drain, tub, sink, food... ewww!
4. The Suburbs i.e. cookie cutter houses, big box stores, no trees, ... no life...

So the above half are my phobias.  However for the rest I will state them in positive mantra form because I believe if one dwells on the negative than there is more of a chance of it coming true... and therefore same for the positive!

5. I will always be financially secure and successful
6. I will always have my friends and family close by
7. I will always be healthy of mind, body, and spirit
8. Everyone that matters to me will always be loyal to me, and love, like and respect me

Day 1: 10 Secrets

1. I often feel high anxiety in the late afternoon and I don't know why
2. I eat Nutella by the spoonful right from the jar
3. I love putting on makeup but I hate styling my hair
4. I once stayed home alone on NYE so I could watch hours of back-to-back "6 Feet Under"  episodes
5. Recently I've been feeling a strong pull towards moving back to the country (part-time anyway - I will always need a tie to the city!)
6. Sometimes when I don't answer the phone it's not because I'm busy but because I'm simply feeling too lazy to talk
7. Bell and Tim Horton's commercials can make me cry
8. I wish I had the talent and vision to be an interior designer
9. I could eat two big macs and still crave a third
