I Can’t Believe I’m Doing This…

February 10th, 2006 | Posted in » Just For Fun...

I can’t believe I’m doing this, but peer pressure is getting the best of me. Micah, this is for you.

Three names you go by:
1. John.
2. Nu (I still don’t get that one, ask Nancy how it started almost 11 years back).
3. Daddy.

Three things that scare you:
1. Failure.
2. The spiritual responsibility associated with being a husband and father (I’m terrified that my kids may inherit some of my stubbornness manifested as a rebellion against faith in Christ).
3. Aliens (yes, I know they’re not real, but those big eyes have freaked me out since I was 3 and first caught a glimpse of one in an HBO special).

Three of your everyday essentials:
1. Internet (just ask Nancy).
2. A hot shower.
3. Time with Nancy and our kids.

Three things you are wearing right now:
1. Plaid flannel pajama pants (and to think, plaid and flannel were two things I couldn’t stand as recently as a year ago…).
2. A half-zip pullover (again, flannel…).
3. My wedding ring.

Three of your favorite drinks:
1. Pepsi.
2. Milk.
3. Hot chocolate.

Three of your favorite songs — at the moment:
1. “Life of Praise” — Casting Crowns.
2. “Cry Out to Jesus” — Third Day.
3. “Blessed be Your Name” — Matt Redman.

Three things you want in a relationship (besides true love):
1. A best friend.
2. Complete trust.
3. Someone who respects and appreciates me.

Two truths and a lie (you guess which ones are which):
1. I’ve experienced premonitions.
2. I used to have a mullet.
3. I’ve spent time in a mental institution.

Three of your favorite hobbies:
1. Sports of any kind.
2. Internet
3. Playing with my kids.

Three things you really want to do badly right now:
1. Go to bed and hold my wife.
2. Sleep.
3. Get this survey over with!

Three places you want to go on vacation:
1. Hawaii.
2. Yellowstone.
3. Alaska.

Three things you want to do before you die:
1. See my kids accept Christ.
(yes, I know that’s just one, but if there’s one thing that matters to me, that’s it!)

Three ways that you are stereotypically a chick / guy:
1. I am overly competitive.
2. If it’s electronic, I love it.
3. I MUST be in control of the remote if the TV is on!

Three people you would like to see take this quiz:
1. My wife, Nancy. (I’ll see about getting her to post here.)
2. My friend from New Zealand, Judah (hey, can’t help but rope someone else into this…)
3. My kids (in about 13 or 14 years when they’re both teenagers and won’t tell me anything).

    Yes, well, er-hmm, what does one say? :D

    OK, it’s there for all to see on Judah’s Journal.

    I was thinking that “Nu” could be how one says “you” when the nose is cluttered up with a nasty cold virus, but there is probably a far better story behind it than that.

    So whose next to take the quiz?
    Sounds a bit like the nurse calling your turn at the dentist, but no, it really wasn’t as painful as that. Indeed, parts were really quite funny – or should I say parts pants?

    Right, I’m outta here! :D

    Oh, the strike-through html code doesn’t work here. :(

    That should have read: ” – or should I say (strike out)parts(/strike out) pants.”

    :)
