Sweet Seven

Got this off Jordan Summers's blog as I thought it's been a while since I did a proper meme [read: I'm too brain dead to string two words together]. Seven things to do before I die:

1. memorise everyone's birthday and do it well.
2. be more organised - this means knowing exactly where my keys are.
3. learn how to operate a sewing machine [and do it without thinking it'd rip my fingers into crimson ribbons]
4. forgive cousin Sarah for misplacing my beloved Miffy pencil set [granted, we were kids, but ...].
5. be serene next time Will's mum inspects our home
6. have a fortnightly appointment at a hairdresser's. I probably will need to dope myself silly to pull this one off, though.

Seven things I cannot do:

1. keep my mouth shut.
2. forgive cousin Sarah for misplacing my beloved Miffy pencil set.
3. sleep for eight hours straight.
4. zip my mouth during a funeral.
5. clean up my cat's vomit without gagging.
6. have the patience to do gardening.
7. suffer fools gladly.

Seven things that attract me to my mate:

1. his sense of humour.
2. his eyes.
3. the way he smiles.
4. his forearms.
5. the way he thinks.
6. his willingness to go along with whatever I want to do, no matter how silly it might seem.
7. the way he holds a conversation and how he does it well.

Seven things I say:

1. What day is it?
2. You okay?
3. Have you seen my phone/keys/bag/coat/hairband/etc.?
4. Off! [to my dog Berlin whose sole mission is to snooze on our sofa]
5. Does anyone want a drink/cuppa/coffee/anything?
6. Why?
7. How so?

Seven books I love: This is tough because I'm feeling quite uninspired. Off my head:

1. Going La La - Alexandra Potter [Romantic comedy]
2. Loving Jenny - Theresa Weir [Contemporary romance]
3. Midnight Rainbow - Linda Howard [Romantic adventure]
4. Courting Miss Hattie - Pamela Morsi [Americana]
5. Suspicion - Marilyn Pappano [Romantic suspense]
6. *thinking* Sorry, my mind's blank.
7. *thinking* Sorry, my mind's still blank.

Seven movies that I've loved: I really dislike that question. As a film geek, making picks is an agony. It's evil, ffs. OK, off my head:

1. Shutter
2. Pillow Talk
3. Streets of Fire
4. Love Me If You Dare
5. City of God
6. The Draughtsman's Contract
7. Cabinet of Doctor Caligari

Seven people to tag: I had a slap in the face when I avoided tagging during my last meme, so I'll do it this time because, damn, that slap still hurts. [It's unfortunate that I can't remember who administered that face slap. My instincts say Nicole, but I'm not so sure.]

1. Zippy
2. Suisan
3. Erika
4. Bev (BB)
5. Giselle
6. Anne E.
7. Misty G.
8. Bam

Be good, be bad & be safe.
