8 Trivial Things About Reel Ninja’s Wife

After reading how interesting Jaden is, I thought it would be fun to show how plain-jane I am :)

* I married the best man I know three times, without any separations, divorces or shotguns thrown into the mix.

* I once passed and made eye contact with Richard Dreyfess in the airport in Toronto. Being a true Maritimer, I simply smiled and kept on my way. I did the same thing to the elderly woman I passed after him.

* I manned the telephones following the 1999 Swiss Air Flight 111 crash for one day. The calls we took were just too devastating from family members desperate for information and I couldn’t get through a call without tearing up. I decided I would be better put to use by organizing the paper trail end of things.

* It is eerie how easily I am able to recall phone numbers and trivial details. This comes in handy in arguements, as my loved ones will testify to with contempt.

* I have watched the movie Top Gun 43 times to date. I blame this on being a child of the eighties and Tom Cruise’s bent nose and overlapping tooth… I love the flaws in a man.

* My friends have criticized me for years for enjoying “B” movies. This turned out to be one of the things my husband and I have in common and attracted him to me. Thank god for fighting conformity!

* I am best friends with that guy from the Subway commercials, Jared. Ok, not really, but I am best friends with his doppleganger… honest!

* I have survived a university campus shooting. The shooter, armed with a shotgun, fired at someone else 6 feet away from me.

    Laughing… These are fantastic — you gave me a run for my randomness. Thanks Reel Ninja & Nanu for joining the fun. I was going to invite you specifically, but wasn’t sure you would post on your site, and you did, yay!

    Hey Reel Ninja! Great to see your wife get involve with your website and also comment over at Jaden’s site.

    I haven’t seen Top Gun 43 times, but have seen Serendipity about 20-30 times in the past 2 years and have never seen the movie in its entirety! The movie plays several times a month on PeachTree TV (the old TBS that we use to get in NS) and I’ve seen it on a couple of other channels.

    Jaden, the Ninja and I are always up for a chuckle. :)

    Sizzling, Serendipity is such a sweet movie… I’ve seen it a number of times on tv too… I think we own it though. I am a sucker for a John Cusack movie! And what the hell kind of name is Peachtree? Do you remember when the NBC station did promos for the local Maine station, WLBZ? That old fella… he was a riot.

    Thanks Jaden, Sizzling and Jan :)

    I like our names we have given ourselves, Mr and Mrs Reel Ninja…sounds like Kung Fu spinoff from Mr and Mrs Smith.

Got something to say?
