well if you put it that way it sounds almost narcissistic just kidding. you got it almost right.
the correct way is:
God impregnates a virgin in order to give birth to himself in order to be sacrificed to himself in order to sit beside himself in order to save the world from SIN.

You got it right except for the last part. God impregnates a virgin in order to give birth to himself in order to be sacrificed to himself in order to sit beside himself in order to save the world from SATAN.

He does seem rather self-obsessed, doesn't he. I wonder why he didn't just go all the way: impregnate himself, give birth to himself, sacrifice himself to himself, sit beside himself, all to save himself from himself. Why bother including anybody else, when he's obviously having so much fun with just him?

No, you don't.
You're doing exactly what the historical Christian creeds state not to do: confounding the persons of the Trinity.
There's a distinction between the persons of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God isn't a single person (or relationship). He is three. He is one in essence (or ontology), but He is three in person. Sorta like a triangle is one shape, but consists of three distinct lines.
When God caused Mary to conceive, it was the Son who became flesh. Not the Father. Nor the Holy Spirit. So, it wasn't God conceiving Himself, per se. It was the person of the Son (who exists in a distinct relationship from the person of the Father).
So, when you read the New Testament, you see the Son always referring to His Father who sent Him. And you always see the Father and the Son communicating with one another, which shows a clear distinction between the two as far as their personal relationship is concerned.
So, while the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are the same ontological being...you cannot confound their personal distinctions. To do so is to argue with a straw man.

Slight correction; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost are as one. (Analogy; a football team). Can the quarterback sit next to the running back, put his arm around the running back, etc: Yes., yet they be part of the same team? Yes.

Exactly. God is a Trinity, and that makes complete sense if you can get your mind around the 3 in 1 concept.
And He's not saving us from Himself, but from our own selves. We chose death, and that gives the devil rights to our eternal souls. He wants to save us from that stupid choice.

Do some more reading on this subject, The Blessed Virgin gave birth to the Son of God Jesus, Jesus died on the cross for all of us!

sounds about right.
however the last part, is more to save the world from his other creation.

not to save the world from Himself, but to save the world from itself.
