Everybody's telling secrets

Okay, well, a bunch of my favourite bloggers, including Molly and KLC, have been doing the whole secret-sharing thing, and I loved reading their posts, so obviously I had to jump on the bandwagon. Here we go.

• I am petrified that I will be infertile. Even though I want to adopt a child and I know it wouldn't be the end of the world if we ended up adopting both our kids. I really, really want to be pregnant and give birth.
• Sometimes I think that instead of having a local wedding with friends and family, we should go somewhere cool just the two of us and get married on a cliff or something, still in our fancy wedding clothes. But I'm pretty sure I only really want to do that because the pictures would look so cool.
  
• I like my job a lot, but it isn't a passion I could follow forever. People say that you should do what you love and what doesn't feel like work, and the only thing that falls into that category for me is blogging. I am incredibly jealous of dooce for being able to support her entire family through her blog.
• It actually causes me physical pain to have gone this long without having a dog. But I still don't want to move just for that reason, because I love our apartment and how cheap it is.
• Most of my favourite books are children's books, like The Giving Tree and Eloise and most of Roald Dahl's work. I have a first edition of Eloise in French, signed by Hilary Knight (the illustrator). I met him when I was interning in the Hamptons in 2004. It was awesome.
• I check my Site Meter a lot, and am incredibly gratified by how much traffic I am consistently getting these days.
  
• I read and love TMZ even though I feel really bad for people who always have flashbulbs going off in their faces. No wonder celebrities wear sunglasses all the time.
• Speaking of celebrities, I feel really bad for Britney Spears. I think she's been suffering from post-partum depression, and I just want to somehow make it all better for her.
• I learned French very quickly, and am totally fluent, and now everybody thinks I have a natural affinity for languages. I really hope they're right, because I'm afraid I'll never learn German well enough to really communicate with Torsten's family, and that my kids will have conversations right in front of me that I won't be able to understand.
• It makes me a little bit sad that since we are going to focus on teaching our kids English and German, I probably won't be able to teach them French from infancy.
• I love cute shoes but I really suck at wearing high heels and usually stick to flats. Also, I wear flip flops as much as I possibly can.
• My sister thinks I'm vain because I really like my curly hair and play with it a lot.
• I really like to drive but I am so excited that Torsten is about to get his American license and then I'll get to be a passenger and not have to focus on the road all the time.
• I am afraid that the Weight Watchers will suddenly stop working and I will never get below my current weight.
• I am thrilled about the fact that getting married gives me an excuse to buy a truly extravagant dress.
