1. Christmas Vacation I guess (I honestly didn't know what he directed though)2. Organize my house from top to bottom and keep it that way3. Since I'm a history nerd I'm picking Linear A because no one knows exactly how to speak/read/write it and I could probably make a lot of money selling the secrets of how to speak it4. Medicine cabinet/refrigerator blindness...if I don't hear "Jamie, where is the...." three times a night I must have gone deaf.5. He's very possitive and tends to think the best of people before the worst6. Kinda, I have collector plates for Gone With the Wind that show the costumes and the costume sketches7. A little bit of both.  I like to have a blue print, but usually diverge from that8. Kinda, I just walked with my dad's union a few years when I was young...nothing important9. Thunderbolt10. it was a picture from some random girl who didn't understand the meaning of "you have the wrong phone number," I had my text shut off after that since she repeatedly cost me $11. Fencing maybe?12. Sheetz breakfast croissant and orange cream smoothie13. Not sure14. I'm at work and I don't want to do this b/c there is a playboy model with my name...I kid you not.
