Meme

As my crocheting content is still a bit light (i.e., non-existent!) here is a little Meme I saw on Sara’s blog instead. Enjoy!

The "Seven" Meme
A. Seven things to do before I die
1. Own a house

3. Publish a piece of fiction
4. Write a piece of fiction!
5. Travel to a place that alters how I live, think, or view the world (i.e., NOT a beach trip or a Western European “Almost America” trip)
6. Finish becoming a vegetarian (I’m about 75% there!)
7. Be happy with how I look

B. Seven things I cannot do
1. Whistle
2. Sing
3. Tolerate close-minded people (does that make me close-minded?)
4. Speak a language besides English
5. Roll my tongue

7. Understand hunting

C. Seven things that attract me to ...
1. My husband: He always makes me laugh

D. Seven things I say most often
1. Meph. (General feeling of malaise, disgust, or indifference)

3. Yes, I have two last names. It’s called hyphenation. Many women in this day and age chose to do so when they get married. Please don’t call me Mrs. [insert hubby’s last name].
4. It’s your turn to drive.

4. A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson
5. Madeline L’Engle’s books featuring the Austin family
6. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
7. The Beekeeper’s Apprentice by Laurie R. King

F. Seven movies I watch over and over again (or would if I had time)
1. Clue
2. Braveheart
3. Labyrinth (Come on! David Bowie as the Goblin King! You can’t pass up on that!)
4. A Hard Day’s Night (Mmm.... young Sir Paul...)
5. Spinal Tap
6. The original Star Wars trilogy
7. MST3K (any and all of them)

G. Seven people I want to join in, too.
I am copping out on this, and just saying: if you wanna do it, do it!
