Dude, weird shit is happening when I post this. WTF is up…? (edit… turns out i’m an idiot…! )
Anyway, Seven Things
I totally stole this meme from Tally.
7 Things I Cannot Do:
1. Whistle.
2. Consistently turn up on time.
3. Keep a tidy house.
4. Be near cockroaches.
5. Buy plain black shoes or clothing of my own free will (I have to wear all black to work though, unfortunately…)
6. My own tax return (or anybody else’s, for that matter).
7. Nothing. I always have to be doing something, no matter how small.
…Edited to add: 8. Write a blog post without having to go back and edit it.
7 Movies I Watch Over and Over:
1. Before Sunrise
2. Before Sunset
3. Amelie
4. Serenity
5. The Iron Giant
6. Shaun of the Dead
7. Zoolander
7 Songs I (currently) Play Over and Over:
1. Yeah Yeah Yeah (The Flaming Lips)
2. Free Radicals (The Flaming Lips)
3. Memory Lane (Elliott Smith)
4. Geraldine (The Happies)
5. The Only Living Boy in New York (Simon and Garfunkel)
6. Evolve (Ani DiFranco)
7. When I’m Gone (Ani DiFranco performing Phil Ochs)
7 Books I Read Over and Over:
1. Like Water For Chocolate (Laura Esquivel)
2. The Outsiders (S. E. Hinton)
3. Anansi Boys (Neil Gaiman… okay, I haven’t reread this yet, but I really want to, and can see it being a story I’ll enjoy over and over…)
4. The Thinks You Can Think (Dr Seuss)
5. To Kill A Mockingbird (Harper Lee)
6. Playing Beatie Bow (Ruth Park)
7. The Red Tent (Anita Diamant)
7 Things That Attracted Me To Blogging:
1. I’m a big show-off at heart.
2. It’s a good way to keep track of all the stuff I’ve done.
3. I’m terribly lazy at keeping in contact with friends in other ways…
4. I already had a website, so it seemed like a logical progression.
5. It’s fun.
6. When I see projects in the WIP section of my sidebar for extended periods, I can guilt-trip myself into finishing them. Or at least think about finishing them. In other words, it’s a good motivational tool.
7. It helps push forward my plans for World Domination.
The pattern-geek in me is mightily disappointed that there are not 7 groups of 7 things….
And the rest of me says ‘crikey! 7 of each! I’d be hard pushed to think of 3′
