One of my Facebook friends tagged me in this meme. Here goes:
1. I’m afraid of heights and large bodies of water. Standing too close to either makes my knees weak. (I have a similar reaction merely thinking about it.)
2. Although I love to write and believe God’s purpose for me at this (unmarried) time is to glorify him and build the Kingdom through the written word, writing would become a distant second to a husband and children.
3. In high school, I fancied myself a non-clique-belonging rebel, but my clique was one of the most popular in the school. 
4. I consider eating a necessary chore. It’s not that I don’t enjoy food; I just don’t like to stop whatever I’m doing to eat. I do it mainly to keep my stomach from growling.
5. “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” is one of my top ten favorite movies. (Come with me and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination…)
6. I’m working on a novel about a vampire seeking “Christian” redemption. I envision it as a three-book series, and I know exactly how it ends.
7. I’ve always thought I’d die from a heart attack.
8. I’ve always liked the name “Matilda.”
9. If I have children, I want all boys. Sorry, Matilda!
10. When learning to drive at 14, I had to do it with my shoes off.
11. The happiest moments of my life were road-tripping with my family as a child. I don’t think I’ll ever feel that secure again.
12. I used to make fun of Christians behind their backs.
13. I’m very attracted to Giovanni Ribisi, and I don’t know why.
14. I’m very attracted to Bokeem Woodbine, and I don’t know why.
15. I want to be Hanson’s assistant tour manager. (They’ve got a Superwoman of a manager [Go, Bex!], and I know she could use the help!)
16. I wish I looked like Angela Bassett.
17. I wear a chastity ring on my left ring finger that reads “True Love.” I think it’s cool.
18. When I was 14, I was enamored with Lady Diana Spencer, who became the Princess of Wales. She was only five or six years older than I was, and I used to imitate her shy glance…although I wasn’t remotely shy.
19. I hated having siblings (two sisters and a brother) growing up, but now I’m grateful every day I wasn’t an only child.
20. I’m a closet anglophile who loves British mysteries (books, TV, and film).
21. Hot tea made from black tea leaves nauseates me.
22. I’ve always wanted to be flat-chested. I have a rather large chest and short waist, and trying to avoid looking top-heavy in clothes is a pain.
23. I saw my 10-year-old niece being born. I was overwhelmed by the miracle.
24. I want to interview musicians and actors, well-known and not-so-well-known, and get them to open up about what they believe about God and why.
25. Just once before I die, I’d like to walk the red carpet at the premiere of a movie based on my novel/screenplay.
