Autobiography

This is actually a pretty decent survey. It asks questions that haven't been asked a thousand times over. It asks questions that aren't obviously from a kid's point of view (in the last month, ever been caught sneakin out?). This survey might actually give your friends a chance to know you better, so please repost and give your friends that chance!

My parents and a few doctors

Part 2: The Family

How would you describe your family?:
My family is great. We love to have fun together and enjoy teasing each other...well, mainly teasing my dad...it's a great bonding experience for the rest of us! My parents are also two of the friendliest people I've known. They have always made my friends feel welcomed and I've learned so much about relating to people from them. My parents are also very involved. They deeply care about our lives and enjoy being involved with us, which was and is a true blessing.

Are your parents married? Divorced? Separated?:
Married 30 years this August!

Siblings or an only child?:
I have 1 brother, Kyle.

If you have siblings are you oldest, middle, or youngest?:
oldest

What are your siblings names?:
Kyle Thomas Gordon; Cheeks; Cubby; LA; K;

Which parent do you get along with best?:
I truly enjoy both of my parents in a different way. I love hanging out with my mom and talking and being goofy. But I love having conversations with my dad about current events and discussing different issues.

What do you fight about?:
We honestly don't really fight. We definitely disagree sometimes, but I think we do a pretty good job of talking it out and making sure that the most important thing is protecting our relationships as a family, and any disagreement comes second.

Do you have step parents?:
No



Part 3: The Friends

Do you have more than one best friend?:
yes

What do you like to do when you are together?
Talk, talk, talk, and talk some more. I love late nights with cups of coffee and solving all of the world's problems. However, we've also been known to be pretty goofy, possibly crossing over into obnoxious.

Do you share the same interests?:
For the most part, yes.

Which friend can you tell anything to?
Well, I'm not a very open person to begin with, but I can tell just about anything to Brandi or Teresa.



Part 4: Your Personality

How high/low is your self esteem?:
Who knows....I try not to think about that stuff too much, just rest and believe in how God says He sees me.

Do you get depressed about things easily?:
No, not really. I get the funk once in a while, but I just enjoy the funk for a day or two, then put it to rest.

Are you an extrovert or an introvert?:
I do like to have some time to myself, however I love being around people I know. To be in a large group setting with a bunch of people I don't know is not appealing to me at all.

Are you happy?:
I'm learning to be content and, while not the same thing as happiness, it's a lot more secure!

Do you live life to the fullest?
Depends what your definition is...these are deep questions for a blog post no one will read.


Part 5: Appearance

Are you comfortable with the way you look?:
Well, I'm pretty sure a shower would help things a lot right now!

Do you have any piercings besides your ears?:
No, just ears.

Describe your hair?
Just below my shoulders, very dark red, almost brunette.

What make-up do you wear?:
As little as possible in the summer.

How do you dress?
I like to be comfortable and tend to be pretty simple. Pretty much, whatever I can find at Goodwill!

Part 6: The Past

Were you a strange child?:
I was too afraid to be strange. I worked very hard to be status quo.

What did you use to love that you no longer do?
Read for hours on end.

Do you have the same friends?:
Not at all, really.

Was there anything in your past that was traumatizing?
Nothing, unless you count the time my grandma told me the story about her uncle whose stomach froze because he ate too much ice WHILE I WAS EATING ICE!!!!! I was convinced I was going to have a frozen stomach and was in the back seat of her car devising plans in my 8 year old head about how I would drink hot water to melt it once we got home.



Part 7: The Future

What is your ambition?:
To obey Christ...not exactly sure what that will look like down the road though.

Are you scared of growing old?:
I don't actually think about it too much.

Sometimess...other times I love being single and selfish!

Outdoors, and if I have to be indoors, I want the windows and doors open.

Summer!

Favorite weather?
Hot and sunny and even some humidity!

Do you like walking in the rain?
Not really, unless I'm working.

No

PEANUT BUTTER

nothing, really

ice cream

anything Mexican

Not at all, really



Part 10: Relationships and Love

Are you single or taken?:
Single

If taken who is the lucky guy/girl? n/a


Do you think love is the best feeling in the world?
Come on...we all know love isn't a feeling!

Do you believe in love at first sight?
I believe that you could be attracted to someone at first sight, which could draw you to them, which could let you get to know them, which could lead to love. This is my thought on that whole "as soon as I saw him/her, I just knew he/she was for me". OK, how many other people did you say that about before it happened to be true this one time! I think that true love grows from knowing someone more than anything.



Part 11: Experiences

What was one of your greatest experiences?:
Anytime I get to be in the presence of God is amazing, as well as getting to go to Poland.

What was one of your worst?
I had a really hard time during my junior and senior years of college when some of my best girl friends left school and got married. I felt really left behind. Most of junior high and high school was hard for me, too. I felt so alone and insecure, but it ultimately drew me to Christ, so I'm thankful for that time now.

Have you ever done drugs?
no...unless you count an addiction to caffeine

Have you ever thought you were going to die?:
Yes, but I can't remember when...must not have been too tramatic, huh?

Have you ever suffered from depression?:
Yes. However, it was being without hope that led me to seek God and cling to His Word rather than my own feelings and circumstances...it was the catalyst for an amazing change in my life, getting to know Jesus so, once again, it was well worth it.
