7 Things
Lifted this from Eden's blog. Here's the 7 Things meme:
7 Things I plan to do before I die:
Get in the recording studio and cut a vanity CD
Leave New York
Write my novel
Move to an island or someplace in the Caribbean/Gulf of Mexico
Run a marathon
Take a vacation here
Run for office
7 Things I cannot do:
Pee and sneeze at the same time
Resist a remote control
Vote for a conservative
Drink tequila*
Any math more advanced than basic add/subtract/multiply/divide
Understand the appeal of NASCAR
Stand reality television or understand people who like it
* Seriously. I'm deathly allergic to it. One shot, and within 15 minutes my face breaks out in a rash, my throat swells and closes off, I'm unconscious, and you're speeding me to the emergency room.
7 Things I can do:
-- Cook a fabulous balsamic chicken w/raspberry glaze, with a lemon risotto, grilled shrimp in homemade mint pesto as an appetizer, and a homemade coconut cream pie for dessert
-- See the difference between a fastball and a breaking ball simply by the way the ball leaves the pitcher's hand
-- Sing country smoothly enough that southerners don't know I'm a Yankee
-- Give some of the world's best backrubs
-- Write - be it stories, columns, or speeches
-- Walk and chew gum at the same time
-- Order a beer in six languages
7 Things that attract me to the opposite sex:
A warped/snarky/dark sense of humor
Intelligence
Eyes
Being petite (I've never understood my thing for short girls, but I have a serious thing for them)
Unpredictability/spontaneity
Lack of inhibition
A great derriere
7 Things I say most often:
My own name (answering the phone constantly at work)
"I gotta get out of New York, man."
"Dude"
"One more round?"
"@!#*-ing Red Sox!" (alternately, "They don't have the pitching to repeat this year.")
"Someday"
"A blog is..." (One of the roles I have now in my job is helping lead my company's drive to get our employees blogging; at least once a week I speak or present to some group of our people around the world who have probably heard of blogs but don't yet fully know what they are. When you've been writing one for a couple of years, you forget that lots of the rest of the world thinks they're new and doesn't know much about them.)
7 Celebrity crushes:
Jennifer Love Hewitt
Catherine Bell
Chris Jansing
Brittany Murphy
Mary Louise Parker
Liz Phair
Tina Fey
