7 (couch potato) quirks

I had to ask my husband for some things about me that would be interesting and telling that I haven't already written about. I'm sure I'll surprise him with another one or two on this list.

1. One of my favorite movies is Napoleon Dynamite, which I would normally link to, but my computer is acting up and not allowing me to cut and paste. Time to reboot, I suppose. This is interesting because typically I am a very serious movie watcher and want a mature plot line to follow and that makes me think. But, this movie is so smart and funny, I just think it's classic.

2. I am a HUGE American Idol Fan. Dan and I have been watching this show since we accidentally found it in its first season. We weren't even married yet. And, as we reminisced tonight -- we even used to vote by phone and text back then! We have since stopped voting, but we still can be found in front of the tube two nights a week. We even cried during tonight's show and have a good prediction on who the winner will be this year. We've been watching it THAT long.

3. I recently forced myself to start watching and enjoying Gray's Anatomy. I did this because with the loss of Sex and the City -- and since American Idol is only one in the winter/spring -- I felt I needed something to finally move me forward in my TV watching. Otherwise, I don't really turn it on.

4. I cannot stand the sound of sports on TV. (In my defense, I am pretty sensitive to sounds to begin with.) But, the sounds of the men's voices as they get so excited over something so mundane is like nails on the chalk board to me. Then again, it's better than the hours of AM radio I've been subjected to in the last 5.5 years!

5. I have also become a big fan of The Big Bang Theory and think those geeks are the coolest guys on TV, which means they don't stand a chance, I'm sure.

6. I'm a bit obsessed with all things Sarah Jessica Parker and Sex and the City. I mean, still. Obsessed. Can you say living in the past?

7. Given the opportunity to once again watch whatever and whenever I want, I would watch every single Johnny Depp movie over and over -- especially Finding Neverland. Golly, he's sexy! With scissors on his fingers wearing all leather, dressed in a suit pretending with young boys and as a gypsy, anti-everything pirate! Sigh.

Bonus: I'd like to thank my dear sweet husband for being such a Movie God and for kicking my ass in all movie trivia games for the last five years. And we own bunches. Anyone up for a game sometime? Dan's on my team!
