the sevens and the fours

Seven things to do before I die:
Visit Greece.
Visit Rome.
Visit the Great Wall of China.
Visit Australia.
Visit the Pyramids.
Visit Brazil.
Visit South India.

Seven things I can not do:
Lie convincingly.
Get rid of a book.
Eat baby animals (no veal, no lamb and no caviar.)
Take unwarrented criticism.
Wait to the last minute for deadlines.
Work from an outline.
Finish art projects in a timely manner.

Seven reasons why I blog.
To share what most bothers me.
To attempt some humor.
All the cool kids are doing it.
To share my hatred of Bush.
To have all my favorite blogs linked in one place.
Keeps me from having to talk to the wingnuts.
Helps to keep the brain active.

Seven things I say most often:
Oh, for Dod's sake!
Have you met me before?
Don't make me have to hurt you.
Oh, get over yourself!
Was I just invisible?
no touchee!
Oh bite me.

Sorry I tried posting "the 4s" but they got lost in cyberspace. I'll do a quick "1s" cause the rest aren't that important. Chocolate, The Simpsons, Atlanta,near Seattle,B3,Hazwoper,Groundhog day. I'll let you figure out which one is which.

Interesting concept for a post. If I were tagged for something like this, it would make people run in the opposite direction and fetch a straight jacket for me.
