If your life was a movie...

I had an interesting question develop in my mind today. If your life were made into a movie, what section in Blockbuster would it be sitting in?

Right now, I feel like my life should be in a section labeled as "Irony" or "Ironic Comedy." I know they don't have those sections, so I created a new one for Blockbuster. I have a list of things I said I would never do in my life and I have found that I have done pretty much all of them so far. This list included the following:

-I would never go to BYU
-I would never live in Utah
-I would never get my masters degree

It just so happens that:

-I graduated from BYU
-After graduating, I decided to teach in Utah for awhile and have now lived here for 7, almost 8, years and don't see myself leaving the state any time soon
-I will be done with my masters degree this June

Along with these few examples of irony in my life, I also have a list of things that I would like to do and plan to do and have not yet accomplished them. The good news is that I am laughing about this whole idea and am trying to remember what else I have said that I would never do so that I can prepare myself for whatever is next.
