Thief!

Don't worry, I did not have another run-in with the maintenance man. The blog title just refers to the fact that I stole the entire construction of this post from Drew. Because he is more creative than me.

Three things I'm looking forward to this year:

1. Halloween! Because I always look forward to Halloween
   
2. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood...DANG IT, WB!
   
3. Quantum of Solace
   

Three joys in my life:

1. The fam.

Three movies I've watched multiple times (recently):

1. Last of the Mohicans
   
2. The Dark Knight
   
3. Penelope
   

Three fears:

1. Being scolded by an authority figure
   
2. Nighttime intruders

Three random facts about me:

Three embarrassing facts about me:

1. I fell on a treadmill once
   
2. I have a weakness for a few now-defunct British boy bands
   
3. I think a lot about what I would do in completely impossible situations (see #3 in "Three Fears")
